I think that everyone should have a philosophy of life--know why you are on the planet, know yourself, spend time with yourself, know what's going on around you, listen to others (especially your Elders) and respect their opinions, know your history, and connect with a higher being. Two of my favorite sayings are, "We live by habits," and, "Time is the most important thing that we have." I sometime do a "Thought for the Day" that I send to my daughters (but I've gotten lazy in the past year).

Part of my philosophy which I learned in my middle thirties is, "Work is not the purpose of my life, I am given life thet I may live." To the men out there that are married or contemplating marriage check this out:

"I would rather die than to dishonor the name of the Lord, break the heart of my wife and family, or disappoint those who respect me."

I have been married for over 50 years and this has always been a part of my philosophy. If you commit yourself to this, you to can be married to the same woman for over 50 years.
