Philosophy of Life
PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
Personal philosophy is a shoe which fits me and no one else.
I cannot claim that my philosophy is good for everyone.
All I know is that it is good for me. No one can teach you
A philosophy of life. You must teach yourself.
Used to be a serial on tv called The Lone Ranger,
A cowboy hero who solved problems for others :
And their disrupted community got settled again -
But he disappeared before they even realized he’d gone.
Then they always asked, “Who was that masked man?”
Corny, I know, but it impacted me then
When I was fourteen…….. and it still does.
I want to leave no evidence of my personal presence,
Just good results and benefits which are long-lasting.
I don’t want or need rounds of applause or floodlights.
Please just allow me now to solve the next problem.
I want to leave no footprints in the sand,
No marks of my shoe and its worn-out sole.
