Logic Assignment: My Philosophy in Life

If there is one thing happening in the background of people's lives I believe in, it is the very powerful effect of change in the life of a human and in his behavior. This is something you can't turn your back from, since you, or in this case, me, is its haunt. Change is everywhere, happens all the time, and is inevitable.

After turning my back from the people who send me to school studying nursing for free, I realized in myself that the main thing I'm here on earth for is to live as long as I could, as simply as I could, and learn as much as I possibly could. I believe that whether I'm a CEO or a lowly member of the workforce, I can grow into contentment and still be the best in whatever I do.

Life is certainly not easy. It's no wonder nobody gets out of it alive. You want out? You die. That's all there is to it. If you don't love it, then you don't love anything at all. That's the main reason why sometimes I feel like I shouldn't take it very hard, instead, focus on the pleasures offered by the simplicities of the manner with which life is lived.

To be more specific, I take my eyes off the glamorous city life and corporate setting the world offers me. Instead, I try to look into the bounty and the benefits of a professional life even in the countryside. Quiting nursing is tantamount to giving up worldly pursuits of working abroad and earning dollars and living a good life in my case of course. But just having what you need and just a little for more than that is just perfect for me. We live in a fast-paced world today, where everything can be obtained on a whim. But taking our eyes off those, living peacefully, simply, and naturally is still living, minus all the complications the fast-paced world has to offer.

Fast-paced business transations, fastfoods, high speed internet connections, 30-second TV ads, they're really quick. But what it offers along with it is quick aging as well, usually minus the wisdom life experiences have with them.

It's not bad to aspire for a corporate condo life. It's just not me. A private firm to work for, business proposal presentations, nightlife and shopping - that's what we see people in this part of the world do. Wouldn't it be better, make you more content, to wake up in the morning, not late at night, filling your lungs with cold, fresh air, go to your teaching job maybe, cook your own food with vegetables from the market or your own garden, and ultimately, live healthy and longer? See life more than the average man. Experience more, learn more, be a better person.
