Personal Philosophy
The great and famous Albert Einstein said “I am thankful for all of those who said NO to
me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.” I have chosen this quote because from little, I’ve
learnt to accept a No. Oftentimes as humans we tend to expect a lot from those around us. We
want things to be done our own way. Conflicts arrive when we hear a No, but not in my case.
Whenever I receive a No from someone, I try to do things on my own and learn from the
experience. I do not feel offended with I receive one; instead I try to see it as an opportunity to
do things on my own. I never underestimate myself or even let others underestimate me. A No
helps me to perceive situations as challenges. When things are difficult, I try not to push them
away. I try not to let others do it from me or to avoid receiving a No. If I receive it, then I take it
as a challenge and this inspires me to become more efficient and confident in my work.
Society is considered to be a place where human beings live together in an orderly
fashion. Society should be a place where there is mutual respect, where each other’s norms,
values, and believes are accepted and most importantly there is equality. In a society, sex, age,
religion, race and other petty differences should not matter. People within societies should
accept, support, care and love each other. Society should learn that everyone’s moral standards
are different. What you may think is morally right or good, to others it may be morally wrong or
bad. Societies should not be prejudice. We all come from different cultures with different
believes. Instead of judging someone, we should learn from them. We should live in a positive
society where differences do not make someone any less from others.
Relationships are formed when you feel a connection towards someone. A relationship
should be formed when love exists, when you enjoy each and every moment spent with that

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
person. In a relationship, you should feel comfortable and secure. You should treat each other
with respect. There should be no violence but instead unconditional love. In relationships, you
should support one another; you should take interest in each other’s lives. Honesty and trust are
important aspects of a relationship. You should be able to express affection, appreciation and
admiration for each other. Moreover, you should enjoy the way your partner has changed and
grow since the day you met him/her. Overall, a relationship should be healthy in all aspects.
Family is one of the greatest gifts from God. Family is not only about a last name or
blood relation. Family is about support, communication, spending time together, appreciating
each other, spirituality and most importantly love. Your family should be present when you need
them the most. Family means having each other’s back no matter what. It also means choosing to
love each other even if days are not coming the way you wanted. It means, not giving up on each
other. A strong family should be able to deal with crisis. A real family will support and
encourage each other when difficult times arrive. Strong families are positive. They never allow
toxic people and their negativity to impact them. They remain positive and strong.
If I was to choose a lifestyle, I would choose a rich lifestyle. I want to be wealthy but at
the same time remain humble. I want to be able to travel around the world, be present at large
important football games with my family. I want to have a big house, cars, a synthetic field in
my yard and most importantly, a happy family. I want to have a lifestyle where I can be able to
help my church, provide tithes and be able to create a charitable organization. I want a lifestyle
where I can own different businesses to provide employment opportunities and to be able to not
only provide for myself but for those in need.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
In the future, I want to become an Accountant. I aspire to become proficient in the
accounting field by excelling my studies and working extremely hard. I want to become
independent to help my mother and my grandmother. I aspire to become wealthy and help my
community by creating a charitable organization. I hope to get married one day with my current
girlfriend and form a happy family. Seeing my mother work at a banana farm motivates me to
not waste my education and work hard so that I do not end up working there, getting paid $3.30 a
hour. That motivates me to focus and envision being a professional person. My mother is not
only my motivation but she’s also the most influential persons in my life. She has set an example
of what is it to be a good and hard working person. Despite her not being able to study, she
remains humble, willing to run a mile to take her family forward and give us everything we need.
Today I am grateful because thanks to her, I am educated, I am hard working and I have become
an exceptional person with a big heart.
