Do you have a personal philosophy?

Answer 1

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their
conversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

When you say, "I love you," mean it.

When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only
way to live life completely.

Don't judge people by their relatives.

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Spend time alone.

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

Read more books.

Trust in God but lock your car.

Read between the lines.

Be gentle with the earth.

Never interrupt when you are being flattered.

Kiss. Frequently.

Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Learn the rules then break some.

Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for
each other is greater than your need for each other.

Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.

Never buy a car you can't push.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour

Answer 2

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Answer 3

Hello,
Yes, I do have a personal philosophy, and it is a simple one too, and is basically this-:
Do you really know what is meant when someone says, it's simply Common Sense? Well this to me is what Common Sense is~~~~ Common Sense is a simple unwritten book of rules, for the ignorance of fools, and the guidance of wise men.
To err on the side of safety, is common Sense.
To Boldly NOT go where man has never gone before
To NOT suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
All good advice to take lessons from the above unwritten book
and I am a happy OLD man................Tony M

Answer 4

Yes. I believe one thing read to me as a child from a book called The Water Babies gave me one of the best philosophies a person can have. In the book there is a lady named Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby.

Wouldn't the world be a wonderful place if people simply did to others what they would wish that others would do to them.

Answer 5

Kyo-Everything is always changing Renge-Causes produce effects. Myoho-Life is tangible and intangible. These three are the inclusive description of reality. Myoho Renge Kyo includes every aspect of life and excludes nothing. This formulation is pragmatically observable by anyone. The people, who win, are the ones who use this formulation with focused intention as a decryption key to clearly see the relationships that exist between good concepts and harmful ones. The way to do that is to add the shortened Sanskrit word for focused intention and create Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. This is spoken with the palms pressed together to close the energy circle. It releases delusions and limitations like vitamin C cures scurvy. One does not need to know the molecular shape of vitamin C and the associated bioflavinoids in order to derive the benefit.

Answer 6

I just think that there's no point basing your entire life around the future because you could die tomorrow and there may not be a future. You have to invest in a future a little bit of course or else if you DON'T die tomorrow then you're genna be pretty screwed.

I don't believe in God or an afterlife so my philosophy is to enjoy life as much as possible without making anyone else miserable. That's it really. Just live life the the full and have fun!

Answer 7

My personal philosophy is to love as many people as I can. I know I cannot save the world, but that won't stop me from trying.

Answer 8

My own personal philosophy is to live my life as best I can..
I live by these guiding principles..

1.) Living an honest life
2.) Kindness to others
3.) Patience.. some things cannot be rushed
4.) Respect for people and nature

Answer 9

This is as honest an answer as I can give on my personal philosophy = Continue to give unconditional love to my Son together to thank my God for the gifts in this life he has given me and understand the things that happen to me are for a reason. Continue to try to understand his reasons and whilst doing so try to spread a little happiness each day and at the same time, try to forgive the wrongs I have done along with the wrongs that have been done to me...............it all helps me to continue my painting of my life.

Answer 10

I'm not sure I can sum it up with a pithy aphorism, all I do is make sure I can look myself in the mirror and like what I see. In all facets of life, ethics, morality, personal goals, just how many shots did I take on the 9th hole, if you lie to yourself, you know it.

I'm pretty sure that those of us who commit the most venal sins, when the demons come in the night, they judge themselves the harshest, we are all our own worst critics.

If I pass someone by in need of help and don't, I'll ask myself why I couldn't find it in myself to help someone in need far more than anyone standing by doing much the same themselves.
