When we say philosophy, it varies from person to person. It is how one view life through gained knowledge or experiences. You may have a certain philosophy that matches with the others but not exactly the same. There are other aspects of that philosophy of yours that differ from the others. What is then my own philosophy? I’ve learned there are two types of reflection we make in life – the primary and the secondary reflection. It is in the secondary refection in which we try to answer questions that we ourselves can only answer. What is my purpose in life? Why am I here on this earth?

There are cases when we try to grab something we want, we forgot others. You may not be aware of it but you are already stepping into others. Where's the love there then? On the other hand, contentment from a low ideal in life is wrong. Why settle for less when you could have the best? Don't be contended with partial failures when actually, you could have full success. Let's just bare in mind that in everything we do, try not to cause pain to
