My philosophy of life

When people ask me my philosophy of life, I would always say ‘seize the day’ to them. It is impossible for us to predict what it will happen. As long as you have undergone accidental trials in life, you would agree to this viewpoint.

Let’s begin with two real stories in my life.

I have been reminiscing the time I had with my grandmother. It has been an unforgettable regret in my deep mind. I should have said ‘I love you, my grandmother’ when I was ten years old.

As I was a kid, grandma took cared of me day and night. She taught me how to behave myself and to give me timely help when I was in a hardship. Besides, she was my best listener because she always patiently listened to what I complained. Every thing seemed to proceed very well. However, my grandma suddenly got amputated due to diabetes. What’s worse? The complication of diabetes made my grandma pass away all of a sudden. I was not aware of the situation very well, and then my grandma left me forever. If time permitted, I really longed for saying ‘I love you’. From then on, I have done my best to seize the day.

When I was a freshman and sophomore, I attended a lot of different extracurricular activities such as ballroom dancing club and organization of my hometown. Some of my friends wondered how I can handle schoolwork and extracurricular activities so well at the same time. To be honest, I didn’t consider so much and just do it. Because I really want to make the best of time to gain more senses of achievement, this is the reason why I worked hard to seize the day..

Right now, I am a junior. And I hope I can be an exchange student in Europe next year. Though my parents didn’t support this idea at the beginning, I was frustrated with their reaction. After I tell them my plan and purpose, they respect my decision instead of anger. With this plan of being an exchange student, I will do my best to prepare for all the documents and apply for the exchange program no matter what the outcome is.

In conclusion, time and tide wait for no man. What went is really gone, and you can’t help but regret. Let’s seize the day and never leave any regret in life. As you start to do so, I bet you will find life more intriguing than you did.
