MY P-H-I-L-O-S-O-P-H-Y in LIFE

“No two individuals are alike”, a cliché adage that reminds me that each of our traits, talents, beliefs and even our philosophies in life vary from one another. A person’s philosophy will vary depending on one’s life experiences. I believe that no two people will have seen life in the same way. There would be many people that have similar philosophies on life but none of them would exactly be the same. I will share my ideas and thoughts on what is my philosophy in life. The way I have experienced life has made me change my way of thinking more than once, and I am sure it will change again. What is my purpose in life? What is anybody’s purpose in life? That’s a mundane question that we all deal with, why are we here, what is the point of life?
If I would have asked these questions a couple of years ago I would have answered it with, “I have no idea”. Back then I really had know idea why I am here, or what I am supposed to be doing. It seems that all I cared about was to be happy and enjoy life to its fullest. I would live with the philosophy of, live one day at a time.

As a second year, AB- Mass Communication student of COC- Phinma, I believe that I have many more years left on Earth, and in my life span, I should have accomplished my visions in life. Personally, I stand on my own principles about life. I have my own principles when it come to love, life, relationships, studies and other things that would affect my life in the near future.
As a good son of my parents and a brother to my siblings, I am looking forward to giving them a a well-off living. That’s why, as early as now, I am liable when it comes to my students and as much as I could, I should maintain a high grade. I am doing this because I know that I wouldn’t be able to reach the pinnacles of my field without focusing well on my studies.

Three of the most important principles that I firmly stand with about life is when it comes to duties and responsibilities, my set of standards in life and when it comes to love. My view in life about duty is that duty for me is that of a commitment to someone or something. It involves some risks & sacrifice. My standards in life in achieving my goal is to be what I am & to become what I am capable of becoming. Goal planning challenges me to give my life a direction by
making some exercises & strategies. I keep in my mind that God gave me the freedom
to control my own life.I make sure I enjoy myself in achieving my goals in life. I
commit myself to it. On the other hand, my standards in life in making a choice is to work hard, do my best & let whatever happens happen. I believe that the single most important thing we can do in life is to serve the purpose for which we were created. This is my principle in life. My view in life about love is that love comes from God. I believe that to love God with all your heart, mind, and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself are the two most important things in life. I would like to share some of my favorite verses in the bible about love: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." - 1 Cor. 13:4-7 , "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16).

And lastly, I am so resilient with this line that says, “Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
give the world your best anyway”.
