Hello sweeties, I just wanna share this one before I finally crawl into my bed [and finish MI2, hihihi]. I remember during high school we were asked by one of our teachers [cud not remember the name nor the subject though] to write into a piece of paper our supposed to be 'own philosophy in life'. It was a homework. Since I was not good in remembering some assignments during that time and I was in the phase of loosing my interest to write too, I decided to just, well, copy or rephrase something that's been hanging around our house for years. I thought that those words written on a wooden plaque were perfect! Actually, if I'm allowed to say, it was my mom's idea! hahaha...
Fast Forward.
It's been years since that incident and honestly I felt like I lied in answering that particular homework where I was supposed to say/write my very own life's philosophy. SO, this night I decided to post my saver from that time and try to tell you as honest as possible if I really applied it for the past, what... 10 years of my life. [crossing fingers now]. Join me! I'll highlight my success (of course, hehe) and make bold those that remain lies.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, [i'm stubborn kasi] even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,[do you agree w/ this?] they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, [50/50] whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. |
I do not want to make an overall assessment or evaluate myself for that matter. I'll just let the above speak for itself. Maybe next time I'll share my true PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE. How about you, what's your life philosophy?
SweetNight Guys,
Miss Sachi
