When one thinks or talks about God they perceive or have an idea of a being that is all powerful, knowing and good by every definition. So if the question “Does God exist?” were to be answered then it is only logical to break this very same question down also by definitions. According to the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary there are many definitions of God to choose from but for the sake of the length of this paper I will take the first which is, the supreme or ultimate reality as: A) the Being…

The word success to me means that there’s an accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Success is things you achieve that you want. In order for me to do that, I do all my assignments and study for tests and achieve my goals. When I do that action, it has now been considered successful. When people enjoy their work, and if it gives them an opportunity to spend time with their family and have a balanced life, they’d consider themselves successful because it happens and it works. Success is when you…

The dictionary defines the word courage as, “the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, etc., without fear; bravery”. Winston Churchill defines courage as being “what it takes to stand up and speak, and also what it takes to sit down and listen’. One could ask a million different people to define courage, and they would be given a million different answers. The argument could even be made that courage is basic human instinct. No matter one’s personal beliefs…

The way I define success depends on what kind of success someone is talking about. To define carrer success, I would say it would be having a job you are actually interested in and making enough money to provide for yourself. But if I were to define educational success, I would define it as having high grades, understanding what you're learning, and being able to put aside time for studying or homework. I believe the word success has a different meaning for everyone, and that it all depends on…

is a leader. A leader by definition is “a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group.” (Merriam Webster Dictionary) this defines a leader but a leader is so much more. A leader is a person who can inspire others to do things they never thought they could. A leader is able to engage with others to provide purpose, motivation, and direction. My personal belief is that this is what makes a leader effective at leading other people. This definition and ability to provide…

The definition of successful means to have attained wealth, position, honors, or the like but it is much more than that. In order to be considered truly successful all of those things must be attained through hard work, doing it the honest way, and ultimately being happy. There are two characters in the book, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, that are great examples of being successful. Herbert Pocket, and Joe Gargery are both successful because they have attained a good life doing all of…

has an amount of what our culture defines of beautiful can be ugly, and an individual that does not fit the box of outward beauty is actually beautiful. It is obvious then that true beauty is defined by the heart. As a society we need to drop the definition of fake beauty, and embrace this true meaning. Perhaps then we would spend more time on our heart, then our…

A philosophically good definition can be very hard to come by for most concepts, ideas, and even simple words. The reason for this is because in order to be considered a good definition in the philosophy world it must follow three basic rules. The three rules, in short, are that it must not be just a bunch of examples, it must contain the essence of what is being defined, and lastly the definition and its concepts must be clearer than the word being defined. It may sound simple at first however,…

Determination in the dictionary is defined as a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult. To me the definition of determined is pushing through the adversity in life that I face each day. I choose the word determination not only for the denotation of the word, but also the connotation the word has. I feel that determination has a very strong meaning behind it of grit and the will to persevere through any roadblocks, which led me to choose this word.…
