What Makes A Philosophy Of Life?

They always told me to respect others no matter who they were, if I knew them or not, it 's a sign of respect from me and to the other person. It will show that I did grow up with a good education and it will also talk good about my parents. They always told me and kept reminding me that actions speak louder than words, to always show something that I was made of and not something that I 'm not. Hearing other people out, it shows your interests or even if you 're not, but try to show it because it 's showing respect to that person. Being respectful is a big part of me, I can never forget that, because if I want to be respected, I respect other people, to treat them the same way as I want to be treated, even if I think that I 'm not going to receive it back, and if I don 't, it shows that I 'm the bigger person.

In life there are several factors that influence the way people think and make decisions. For me, those factors would mainly be my family, school and religion. Every experience someone has helps shape who they become. Some experiences and lessons are good while others will leave you questioning the world we live in; people do horrible unethical things however to them they believe it to be okay. When it comes to family I was raised to be respectful of others but still speak my mind if I had an opinion.

For example, I have been told from an early age that lying is wrong. My experiences as I have grown older, and the constant reminder from my parents have only shown this value to hold consistent moral worth. However, my education, socialization and firm faith have only been the stepping stones to becoming a righteous individual. As a thinking, rational being, I see it as my duty to take this basis to a higher level. I must be able to critique my thought processes and analyze them in order to understand fully the roots of my very existence.

This is something that has been hammered into my brain from a very young age, and it has stuck with me through my life till now. This concept that my mother engrained in me was something I have valued all my life. My mother rand I have always had a mutual trust between each other that I would do the right thing. She knows that even when she is not around I would do the right thing and stay out of trouble. She knows that my judgment calls will be the right ones because she raised me with morals and values.

Our parents teach us our morals and values, and we learn what is right from wrong. We are punished when we are bad, and rewarded when we are good. These things make us the people that we are. We all keep our values close to our hearts, as bell hooks points out in her essay Keeping Close to Home: Class and Education, with these words, While I often needed more money, I never needed a new set of beliefs and values(96). No matter how hard our life is at any point in time, our values will stay with us always.

In fact, I consider myself very good at those things despite not having a lot of practice at it. And lastly, I know that if my parents die before me, there will be no fighting over who gets to keep what. I get it all. And I 'm grateful for that. I get to keep the things that mattered most to them and me.

Even if it is something small you should be proud of yourself. I encourage everyone not to give up but continue to whatever you want to achieve. One success in my life is being a good person. I have notice that my parents have raise me right because I am not a bad person and I try to help people when they need it. One thing that I always put first is God.

While growing up I was always taught how to be a kind, caring, and sharing person. My parents want me to be a child that has good values and intentions. My parents are the ones that mainly affected my ethical beliefs. They came to America as immigrants for a better life and they have always taught me to be a humble person and to work hard. Their life experiences have played a major role on my personal ethics.

Although we are far apart I am still always there for my family as they were there for me. Moreover, one idea which has worked for me and my sister is that we generally have the same day off. So we schedule that particular day to handle all our family affairs. In this way we don’t feel disconnected from each other. Conclusion / Summary In conclusion, I learned to respect everyone regardless of their gender, beliefs, and different views towards one’s life.

In addition, I was taught the values of not resorting to violence when solving issues, but instead learning the value of walking away from negative situations. All in all, my family are who keep me moving forward, and I am immensely proud of this value because my family remains
