1. My philosophy on life is that you should live while you are alive and you should give others that same privilege. We shouldn’t judge people for the choices they make, because we all make bad decisions. You should do what you want with your life, as long as it makes you happy and causes no harm to others. Happiness is all we can hope for in this world and we have to strive to achieve it. We should help people when we can and graciously accept failures when we have to. 2. The best way for people to live is to work hard and strive for success. People should be compassionate towards others and live life to the fullest. We have to make and maintain friendships. We have to try to advance in our careers and raise families. We have to try and help other people when we can, be it by volunteering to read to the elderly or babysitting for your neighbors. We have to try our best to make our marks on this world while we can. 3. Being a good person means being a considerate person who thinks about the consequences of their decisions and the effects of their actions on others. Good people take care of themselves and their friends and try to make personal relationships a priority. Good people also tend to take the high road and be the bigger person in an argument. Generally, they will work to meet important deadlines and be helpful when they can. They try to succeed and take their work very seriously. They are good friends to others and try to treat everyone with respect. 4. Good people…

The first essay in Fulghum’s collection All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which he titles “Credo”, plainly lays out his philosophy on life: people can live satisfying and meaningful lives if they only remember those basic lessons learned by all children. His proposed issue with humanity is that we often forget these simple lessons. Basic tenants of childhood like sharing, being nice, and cleaning up after one’s self are often neglected by adults. Fulghum believes that by…
Abstract Philosophy of life is going to be different for everyone. Philosophy will depend on the experiences we have in life; because we have all seen and lived life in a different way. We have all made many changes in our lifetime, and today we might see something one way and tomorrow we will see it in a different light. So my philosophy of life is an ever-changing philosophy. Sometimes we would love to go back to where it all started, but that would be impossible. It is hard to turn the clock…
advice. Let us review two principal pieces of advice: avoid looking into the future and enjoy the life carefully and in moderation. In his literary work, Horace advised was to avoid looking into the future, whereas that matter was only applicable to the gods themselves. Essentially, Horace explained that being the clairvoyant only concern to gods and not to any mortal being. Consequently, Horace provided support to the idea that individuals should not spend time nor energy onto such. For…
Philosophy benefits people from all different walks of life because it allows us to self actualize, deepen our sense of reason and purpose, maintain a safe society and understand different perspectives. Socrates once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” pg 21 This means that we as individuals must examine our lives to find out who we truly are and what we truly live for. This is critically important for us to do because if we do not know what we are living for we would not become…

It explains a purpose to life, tries to explain injustice and inequality and provides a way of life that…
Personal Philosophy Paper Our knowledge and how we gain it can be measured in many ways. Through their teachings, philosophers try to incorporate ideas such as whether the soul or body gives individuals more knowledge, why that is, and how it can be differentiated. On top of differentiating between the soul and the body and how that relates as an individual’s primary sources of knowledge, philosophers often try to establish how these two sources influence an individual’s determination of what…
