The era has come when everyone needs philosophy.
Can a man succeed without a philosophy?
Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Samsung Scholarship Foundation scholarship students who are university professors with doctorates are also worried about their uncertain future. At times like these, it's good to stop for a moment, look back at yourself, and think about how you're going to live your life in the future. In other words, examine your survival philosophy to see how you will grow and pursue your values in the future.
What is Philosophy?
Philosophy is the study of man. It is to explore human nature, to study human existence and human history. Philosophy provides the driving force for mankind to open a new world. So, historians have to ponder the philosophy of history, and economists must ponder the philosophy of the economy.
Philosophy is a kind of predictability. Having a philosophy for a person means that you can predict that person. You can predict what that person will say and do. When a CEO has a philosophy, it means we can predict how that person will make things and sell them.
Now, a leader in any field must have a philosophy. If a person without philosophy is a leader, the organization becomes unhappy. Since he has no philosophy, it is impossible to predict how he will run the organization. A leader without a philosophy is like a car that runs without a goal. If we ask what your philosophy is, we can confirm his economic, social, historical, and world views through his answer.
Now, even if you are not a leader, everyone living in the world needs a life philosophy. Philosophy is the family motto, the reason students study, the reason they go to work, the reason they do business, and the way they invest in stocks or real estate. And the criteria for choosing a spouse and the beliefs of parents in raising their children are also philosophies.
Philosophy gives meaning to everyday life, suggests direction for economic activities, and provides deep reflection for self-development. Now, just as a person without philosophy cannot become a leader, it is difficult for anyone without philosophy to make great progress or succeed in life.
In this age of rapid technological and social change, everyone is concerned about their own survival. With the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence, those who do not have solid expertise or sufficient capital must seriously consider survival. In this era, it has become an era where you have to worry about your entire life, how to survive, how to succeed, and how to live a worthwhile life.
The question of who, what, why, and how is the starting point of philosophical thinking. Philosophy is not only for scholars in universities. Everyone must do philosophy in order to survive in a rapidly changing environment. From birth to the end of one's life, one must set standards for who to do, what to do, why, and how to do it. Only when you have your own standards can you live the life you want while using your time and resources efficiently.
How will you survive in the future? I hope you create a life philosophy that can make use of your characteristics and strengths. I hope that your philosophy will grow you according to the trend of the times, increase your value, and make your life meaningful.
I want to see you making standards and principles of life and putting them into practice.
