Five Philosophies for Practical Living
- A Workshop Guide

1. Recognize and show gratitude to people whose goodness
has made you what you are today.- A Workshop Guide
Dr Abe V Rotor
Exercise: List down ten very important people
(VIP) outside your family circle and personal friends, who have influenced your
thinking, attitude and behavior, and your well-being. These people may not
necessarily belong to your generation; they may have lived before in another
era and country. You may not have met them at all. Nonetheless, their influence
on you is lasting.
2. Each one of us is a child of
Nature.
Explain what it means to follow the laws of
nature. What natural cycles influence your life. Why is the circle infinite;
more so with eight? What are these used as symbols of cycles in
nature. Cite ten of these cycles and explain each. How does life fit in each
cycle?
3. It is not how long you live that matters most in life but the significance of your existence, the quality of the life you live.
Exercise: List down ten most important
achievements in your life, and explain each. Are these worth living for? Do
they lead you to the answer on "Why are you here?"
4. Holism of knowledge is in the use of 4 Hs - Head, Hands, Heart and Humanity.
Exercise: Draw four squares in four successive sizes as
to fit into the largest square. Then draw a diagonal line that connects the
corners of the 4 squares. Label your drawing accordingly. Explain the
significance of this illustration. When does knowledge evolve into skill, and
ultimately into philosophy?
5. Rationality of man rests on the nine realms of intelligence - logic, spatial, languages, kinesthetics, music, interpersonal, intrapersonal, existential and naturalism.
Exercise: Evaluate yourself according to the
eight realms. Use the Likert scale of 1 to 5, in increasing
value. Analyze your strength, and weakness as well, based on your scores. ~
