Philosophy

Does anyone consider themselves to be a philosopher? 

I can't say I know an awful lot about it....but I do like making up quotes.

I may have partially got this from a record I listened to.

My personal input:

"Death is a tragedy....but life is Misery" -  Dave, on Charltonlife, 2025

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them" - Albert Einstein

  • Know the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that the tomato is a fruit - wisdom is not including it in a fruit salad.
  • Know the difference between a spanner and a spanner. 

    One is a useful tool kept in a toolbox.

    The other is just a tool.
  • Fear doesn't stop death, it stops life. 

    If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive. 

    Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. 

    Ambition without action turns into anxiety. 

    You can do anything, but you can't do everything.  Focus. 

    If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.

    No-one puts toothpaste in their salad mate.
  • If you do what you love, you'll love what you do ...a mantra I try to follow a lot
  • Work to a standard not a budget.

    All of those are very good and almost a mild wake up call.
