1)From challenges I face in my daily round of life, I practice applying philosophy in gaining wisdom and perspective. From all the trials I've gone through, moving period was the hardest when I had to make a career path decision of technology or business. I adored both of them but couldn't choose which field I was to concentrate on more.

Aristotle's comments on the whole being more than the mere sum of its parts persisted in my mind, encouraging me to consider options that would allow me to be more active on campus. As software technology made easy connections among people and things, it became clear to me that I was able to start a tech venture, using tech to solve business problems.

I began to research on startups and interact with professionals. Making that decision allowed me to merrify myself once more. Thus, I got fresh chances and prospect to grow. I decided to dive into a tech startup working with companies learning how to use my technological abilities to make businesses better.

2)A quote by Friedrich Nietzsche has always inspired me: It comes also, as a savior: “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” I have experienced the importance of this quote particularly during tough times. Whenever I got stuck with studies and similar affairs, the idea of my motivation and reasons of continuing with success became the only strong point.

This quote made remember me the paramount importance of setting the goals and then doing everything possible to accomplish them even when the roads seems to be full of obstacles. It is like a redemptive feature depicted in my life as it makes me regard every obstacle as an opportunity for self-enhancement.

From my perspective, We cannot follow other people's rules or perspectives. Because we cannot control and follow their capacities because we each have our own capacities. and we have to accept what has happened and what has happened cannot be changed. Maybe we have a dark past, but we cannot change our past simply because we do not have the capability to change it.

As a quote from Ichiro Kishimi is: "Do Not Live to Satisfy the Expectations of Others"

And quote from Miyamoto Mushashi: "Accept everything just the way it is"

1.Philosophy plays an important role in my daily life. Although I may not have studied philosophy systematically, I find myself often thinking about various issues in life and trying to understand them from a philosophical perspective. For example, when I face a moral choice or a major decision in life, I will think about different ethics and values to find the most appropriate course of action. In addition, philosophy has inspired me to think about the meaning and purpose of life.

It reminds me that success does not come out of thin air, and makes me understand that success often comes through day after day accumulation and continuous hard work. Therefore, I work hard to cultivate my perseverance and patience, firmly believing that as long as I persevere, I can overcome any difficulties and realize my dreams.

Quote: "Quality is not an act, it is a habit" - Aristotle

I try to live by this quote , which implies that being a solid individual is not about doing whats right when you feel like doing... it should become a second nature to us. Many portray a certain attitude that doesn't reflect who they are, but adopting those nice qualities and living by them is what we should all do.

Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

This quote has guided me in understanding the importance of consistency and perseverance in achieving excellence in various aspects of life. It's not just about occasional acts of kindness or moments of greatness but about cultivating habits that reflect our values and aspirations.

In my daily life, I strive to apply this philosophy by consistently practicing kindness, empathy, and compassion towards others. Instead of viewing kindness as a sporadic action, I aim to make it a habit, ingrained in my interactions and behaviors. Whether it's lending a helping hand to a friend in need, volunteering in my community, or simply showing appreciation to those around me, I understand that it's the consistent practice of these actions that shapes my character and contributes to a more positive environment.

(1) Philosophy have made me realized to be grateful with the stuff that is given in my life. I shouldn't blame other people for what I have achieved but rather, expand and improve myself to become a better person.

(2) I found out that when it comes to achieving my goals or things that I wished to get, it has to be done slowly and steady. It is very ineffective to rush things as it will just make myself stressful. I shouldn't expect to get it very quick but rather just plan to get them at some point, so my mind does not only focus on achieving that one certain item or goal. It is fine as long as you don't give up from that goal.

Each day presents us with a myriad of experiences, and philosophy equips us with the tools to interpret and respond to them from different angles, and I think how this's I experience my existence

2)One of my favorite quotes, by Albert Camus, encapsulates this sentiment: "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." This quote resonates with me as a guiding principle for confronting daily disappointments.

In essence, Camus suggests that genuine freedom transcends external constraints; it is an internal state of defiance against adversity. When applied to everyday setbacks, this quote encourages us to cultivate inner resilience and autonomy. Rather than allowing disappointments to dictate our actions, we are empowered to rebel against despair and reclaim agency over our lives.
