Today, I am thinking about yesterday. By tomorrow, I’ll be ready for today!!!

August 18, 2010 by Will

This saying has had a profound influence on me and the way I look at the world. We humans have a funny way of defining our goals and the measure by which we reach those goals. Some People measure their success by the amount of monetary funds that have been gathered, some by the amount of assets they have. For most of us, well we go on living day by day in utter stupor without really knowing what we want till we get there. That is human nature and human nature makes us humans dissatisfied with mostly everything making it imperative to improve anything we see.

 

May it be technology, wealth, assets and many other forms of measure that we tend to gauge the productivity of our daily lives. Why not try, how many people have I helped today? How many hungry mouths have I helped feed? Or even, how many old people have I helped across the road? These are the values of yesterday that must still be behind each and every one. In our search for a reason to live we must always keep in mind that we are all brothers on this earth and the\is very earth is the only planet we can call our own. Pollution as a result of development has become a critical issue for us as we cannot go anywhere else once we ruin this earth of ours.

 

The preservation of life on this earth is the single most important reason for our existence and all should have that in mind whatever the race, skin color, or religion. All faith’s are based on the fundamental fact that we all share this earth with each and everyone of us and that what you do today can have influence on the future of your fellow man. The trash you throw today can be the environmental disaster of tomorrow so be responsible in your daily life. In our quest to find and understand human nature and the way we think the saying might be right for we never know the results of daily life till it has passed and that life as we live it is filled with uncertainty for all of us.

Where the Philosophers Are At

We usually hear about them and discuss them during our educational lives but while other just goes through the motions of having to be aware of them, there are also people who want to extend their line of knowledge by simply looking for related work. Much of this has been helped by the optimization practices as offered by Los Angeles SEO when they offer affordable search engine optimization today.

There are over a dozen philosophers we have known throughout the years and most of them own different proverbs and studies of interest to people who are fully aware of what is going on today. Indeed, they have given logical acclamations something to think of.

Much of what we believe in today when it comes to principles and the like are sure to be something that many of us would agree to be one and true. It would be truly amazing to note and depict what they are other less heralded points have to deliver.

Ethics Losing its Purpose These Days

August 29, 2008 by Jon

One thing apparently missing in whatever we do, both personally and professionally is the lack of ethics. Actually, the phrase “Don’t Trust Anyone” seems to be the easiest way to sum it all up and this includes relatives and friends. There are apparently a lot of factors that have lead to this and much of it includes money and power. Some may not admit it but the evils that these two have are apparently given more weight than traditional ethics among people who should trust each other.

Apparently families in some parts of the world have lost the true meaning of family ties. Living and financial survival is all that matters today. And thanks to the crisis and inflation plaguing any part of the world, this seems to be the trend as far as personal survival is concerned.

So if this is the case, why push for ethics when it is eventually being written off? Indeed much of this has been the doing of man himself. No longer can you afford to freely trust someone who has not intention for his own. At the end, there will always be some form of benefit and reward. This is something that will definitely be a reward and normally it includes money and properties.

So while we are all wondering where ethics has gone, much of it has gone to the new philosophies we have all instilled in ourselves. It is not pretty but it is a reality and we just have to face the facts surrounding it.

Does Personal Philosophy Matter At All?

August 20, 2008 by Jon

Each person has his own set of beliefs to which his personal philosophy will work on. Some may agree while others contradict it. But while that is a given in this crazy world you just have to respect a person for what he believes in even if it may seem awkward and weird. In short, it is not about determining if it is right or wrong. It is about holding true to your word on what you believe in and caring less on logical definitions since in most cases, the real reason would lie on the fact that they have personal supporting facts to go by it.

One fact here is experience. While we all know the standard philosophies that we read and are advised of, it remains that there will always be loopholes that may differ our overall understanding. Among them include rare instances where one’s philosophy is entirely different from another. This has been proven. Like for example in business, it does not always follow that constant advertising will reap you attention. You have to look further at the crowd you are showing the ad to. If they don’t respond then you have just thrown out millions of dollars.

In personal instances, being around and showing a person how much you care for them cannot always be appreciated. In fact, it has been proven that the only time a person is appreciated is when they are gone. Late as it may be, but that is reality we all experience.

Personal philosophies differ each day. It is just a matter of respecting them for their own separate reasons for believing in them that way.
