What is your Philosophy of life . ?

"Always leave them wanting more" seems to be a good one.

"Every problem is an opportunity in disguise"

You could read it at least two ways:

1) You can't get to he top on your own

2) Until you have helped make everyone else all that THEY can be, you cannot be all that YOU can be.

When it was said, it implied the second meaning above. It's practically impossible but it does ring true.

Unless you are a doctor giving insulin to a diabetic.

Don't want to give them too much, they might not be able to come back.

A theory is considered scientifically correct if real life observations when viewed through that theory , validate the theory rather than leaving believers of theory confused and surprised. Same
is true with the philosophy.

I believe that most of what we get in life is a matter of chance . So I don't get surprised by even and odds in my and everybody else's life.

I do not deny free will, but how much free is ' free will' ? For an average person, if you compare things within his control to the things which are beyond control , you may find that things beyond control considerably outweigh things within control. You have little control on the society and family in which you are born. No doubt there are examples of 'rags to riches' and vice versa , but these are more of exceptions than rule.

Just when I thought there wasn't room enough
for another thought in my head, I had this great idea--
call it a philosophy of life, if you will. Briefly,
it involved living the way philosophers live,
according to a set of principles. OK, but which ones?

That was the hardest part, I admit, but I had a
kind of dark foreknowledge of what it would be like.
Everything, from eating watermelon or going to the bathroom
or just standing on a subway platform, lost in thought
for a few minutes, or worrying about rain forests,
would be affected, or more precisely, inflected
by my new attitude. I wouldn't be preachy,
or worry about children and old people, except
in the general way prescribed by our clockwork universe.
Instead I'd sort of let things be what they are
while injecting them with the serum of the new moral climate
I thought I'd stumbled into, as a stranger
accidentally presses against a panel and a bookcase slides back,
revealing a winding staircase with greenish light
somewhere down below, and he automatically steps inside
and the bookcase slides shut, as is customary on such occasions.
At once a fragrance overwhelms him--not saffron, not lavender,
but something in between. He thinks of cushions, like the one
his uncle's Boston bull terrier used to lie on watching him
quizzically, pointed ear-tips folded over. And then the great rush
is on. Not a single idea emerges from it. It's enough
to disgust you with thought. But then you remember something
William James
wrote in some book of his you never read--it was fine, it had the
fineness,
the powder of life dusted over it, by chance, of course, yet
still looking
for evidence of fingerprints. Someone had handled it
even before he formulated it, though the thought was his and
his alone.

I believe you can only control your attitude for the moment.

Each moment I have the choice on how I will let whatever is going on affect me. My goal is to try and be true to myself with every choice I make so there are no regrets. Being true to myself is defined by my convictions: moral, spiritual, etc.

When I start to get mad at an injustice or a traffic jam, I count my blessings. I find that every traffic jam is an opportunity for a great conversation or turn up my radio and do a little seat dancing. Yeah, that's right - I am the goofy person at the traffic light but I am having fun and my bp is good.

That's a philosophy isn't it?

Chances are you don't know enough about someone else to accurately judge them - so you shouldn't.

Chances are there is something that you can do to help in most cases - so you should.

It is possible to be considerate and helpful without being taken advantage of - but it isn't necessarily easy.

Don't be an extremist.

Everything is black or white.
It is only when you filter what white you let through that you get grey.

If agnostics/atheists are correct, I will die satisfied about this life.
If they are wrong, they will not.

Whoever says it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, didn't.

I believe in true love and that the most important things in life are just moments in time... so we should joy our lives as strong and frequently as we can.

uhm.. sorry for double post

some my quotes

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Life Philosophy of John Wooden

Even a fool knows you can't reach the stars,
but that doesn't stop a wiseman from trying.

A good question and great replies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is simple, it's just not easy.
