Philosophy of life is an overall vision of or attitude toward life and the purpose of life (Merriam Webster). This point in my life I have taken a few values that I hold in high regards. These values include family, friendship, moral, love, education, optimist, happiness, and purpose. I will be describing in this essay my philosophy and why I hold these values of high regards in my life.
Family
Family is one of my top values and something I hold dear in my life. From the moment I was brought into this world family has been a mix of experiences and emotions for me. “There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table (E.A.

It is similar to the concept out of site out or mind (Macionis, 2005). No matter how successful my career is, it is means nothing without loved ones around
