My philosophy on life...i will try to expound on it here. First off, i would like to give accolade to my parents for giving me life. im not a zealot. im pretty conservative. im not very narcissistic. my life hasnt been very parlous. i like to take it day by day. enjoy things. breathe some mountain air. soak in the fame and fortune of beautiful northeast ohio. make some money spend some money. just relax and chill.

I try to live a life with minimal noxious influence. I feel if your actions and statements are unimpeachable then you are perfect. To my knowledge I am not and the chances of you being that way are slim to none. An immaculate person doesn't exist. Everyone is weak and caterwauls and breaks down. No one is a resplendent person at all times we all fall short. I live my live to the fullest. I try to achieve perfection but fall short every day. A wise man once said True character is show by the resistance of temptation. We must pick ourselves up again and try day after day. After all we are only human.

My philosophy of life is two fold. It stresses a utilitarian lifestyle, encouraging practicality and planning for the labyrinth the of the future. It also tries to encourage a balance in life between self and world, because one cant have total narcissism and survive. Likewise a total abandonment of self for others would not be a wise as one would be taken advantage of too much. Only a precarious balance of both will provide a viable platform of stability and comfort on which to grow.

I really don't have a specific philosophy. I just know that nobody is perfect and you have to learn from your mistakes. Stress and worry are two major banes of life. Live life the way you want to. Don't let any folderol stop you from being happy and don't immure yourself from others and your goals. Cull as much knowledge as you can. Don't let others obfuscate your hopes and dreams. Family and friends are very important and they can help and support you in your path of life.

My philosophy on life ia a great one. Yiou need to live life to its fullest. Go out and explore everything. Explore your world and everything it has to offer. you only live once in this life so go crazzy. I feel that you should allways live by the right and wrong theory. But you should do whatever is best for you. Especially if your young. You have the rest of ur life to have a family and to do grown up stuff. Be young and advernterous try new things even if they are risky. Take what you want. Dont be affraid to be assertive. Be respectfull but be assertive and take what you want and what is yours. Do not let anyone tell you your opinions are wrong or dont let people spoil your fun! You need to do what you want and live like a king! be special! dont go with the boring crowd be exciting thats my veiw on life!

My philosophy on life is to lead a life based around hedonism and euphoria. My goal is not to be successful or have a lot of money, it is just to have fun during the short time that I'm on this earth. If my career of choice leads me to a lot of money, awesome. If not thats fine too. I have recently become a zealot in mixed martial arts and I definatly want to pursue that as a career. Whats better than getting paid a lot of money to punch people in the face? Thats what I thought. I get to party late, sleep in, wake up late and then workout. That could be the best job ever. I try to build rapport with most the people that I interact with. Since middle school I have made a great metamorphosis in who I am. I used to be this jerk who would make fun of everyone and anyone with no exceptions. Handicap included. Pretty low I know. Now I'm someone who knows definante right from wrong and who would stand up for my friends in a heartbeat.. Really, I've been in a couple fights over this haha.
Jeez louise this was way too long!

I try to live life in the moment. Life can be very precarious. I like to take it as it comes at me. Life is a resplendent gift, and you shouldn't waste it. You have the volition what to do with your life. You can always make a vicissitude about the way you live. I try to make it great! I just like to enjoy it day by day. Everyone's life should show eclat of what you did and who you became.

My philosophy on life is I think just to live it. Not to hold back on any of the fun things that can happen. You don’t want to bilk* yourself out of any of the things that you can experience while you are growing into what you will be. I don’t want to stay that zany* kid that messed around in high school. I would like to live in peace and quiet. I like to have standards. It keeps things in order. I dont want things to be traumatic* for me if they dont have to be. Just peaceful and calm. I want to be a pundit* person with a good job and make some money...live how I want to live.

My philosophy on life...hmmm well lets see. I want to live my life to the fullest. I know I have made some chimerical mistakes but doesn't everyone do that? Some people seem to think that Im oblivious to the fact that life isn't easy. I know it's not. I have been told that it only gets harder. So far my life has been a melee of problems but I try to see the positive aspects and try to stay strong.

My philosophy on life is to do what make you happy! To try to spend the least about of time being lachrymose. Ithink it everyone would be a little happier if they had a more sanguine outlook on life. I think everyone should have a wide purview of what they are willing to try! Everyone should participate more in persiflage and folderol!

My philosophy on life has to deal with my belief in hedonism. I believe that the attainment of pleasure is lifes true meaning. It shouldn’t always have a nemesis riding you about your work. I believe that you are not the grade you get on a test. You are who you show people you are. Sure there are those days that you feel like crap. You feel that teachers are beleaguering you. This is where you have to rise up above the issues, you learn from your mistakes then in 5 years ill look back at my life and laugh about what I did. That’s what life’s about. The dictum in fast and the furious "I live my life a quarter mile at a time" comes to mind when I think about this. (Cohen)You are the main persona in your life. I try not to be like one of the hoi pollois. I think that the attainment of pleasure in life is its true aim but with that comes mistakes, the things that you learn from which in hand helps make me "a better person" (Garcia)

my philosophy on life is to not worry about the miniscule problems in life. there will always be a plethora of things that go wrong in life but worrying about all of the little things is pointless because if you do, it could make you queasy on a regular basis. i also think one should strive to be iconoclastic and original. while being original, one should not be refractory and should accept change and respect authority.

Don't believe anyone if they say something is chimerical. Try to have a sanguine outlook on life. Live a gratis and peacefull life as much as possible. Enjoy the simple things in life. Sing a paean for no reason. Take a lot of walk to quiet riverbanks and read. Run through the grass with bare feet. Simple pleasures like that. And most importantly, be happy. Have a gargantuan amount of happiness in your life.

My philosophy on life is live life to the fullest, never look back and regret because you learn from your mistakes. Always have confidence, never doubt yourself. Oh and always think before you speak. Nothing in life is gratis, at times life can leave you a little quizzical, never let a mountebank cozen you and never be a poltroon. You shouldn't ever let anyone try and modulate you into something your not. My standards are pretty basic, on some levels. I live my life with no regrets. Past experience: those who've never made any mistakes haven't ever done anything worth while.
