Kaleb Mckissick Section 008 Midterm Post parts 1-4 The idea of P.C.I.D.

To start off I dont want anyone to think Im trying to tell anyone by far how they need to live there life, or how they can achieve success I just really couldnt think of what to write and then this hit me. It was kind of a fire ball to the head idea. So the idea of P.C.I.D is based on how I feel some people become really successful in life, and how they climb to the top without completely destroying their whole image, or self. Okay so Im going to break down my concept of P.C.I.D into four parts. The first part is the point to be P... patient with everything because you cant just achieve success, fame with a instant pass, unless its the music business where you dont always have to be talented just have one hit song. The patience that you must have to become a better person is the same patience that can take the longest time of battle, and hardship, and turn them into a time to become self- intelligent to take the time to realize why you haven't reached the success that you want or why it is that you want to reach that point of success. The patience that I'm speaking of is the same success that made Job wait and have the long-suffering that he had to endure hits life being taken completely out of his hands. The long-suffering that he had to be ill, pained by blisters all over his body, to watch his family be killed, and still he had to patience to know that god was worth waiting on. The patience that Job possessed is the same thing that restored his life again. To end this portion of my blog part 1 I will state some quotes. " Beware the fury of a Patient Man" by John Dryden, " Everything comes gradually and at its appointed time" by Ovid, and finally " Genius is eternal patience", by the great Michelangelo. But sense this is Philosophy I must tie in a philosopher. "A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation." by Moliere. I think of this as Moliere stating that through all the hardships, and pains we endure it all will pay off if we just hold out and wait to see the end. 




Part 2 The idea of C...compassion. You must think back to all real successful people who gain success, and then give back to others in ways unimaginable. The person that stands out in my mind is Oprah, i think of her because she was born, and raised in Tennessee lived in public housing, and made it to the top of daytime television, and became one of the richest if not the richest women in america, and the world. And though she is at the top of her game in every way possible Oprah still finds the time to give back, and truly be compassionate to other people in america, and over-seas where she has started a school for young girls in Africa where they may not have received the education they need to become successful, women of their country, and in the world. The idea of compassion really boils down to a person deciding that they will help others with what little or big financing or abilities they might have. But not only do you have to have the compassion for others but for most you must have compassion for yourself. The only way to truly be able to show compassion to others is to accept it in your own life for yourself. The definition of Compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. So how can you truly help someone who is suffering if your suffering from things yourself. To listen to the words of the great buddist theorist, Ane Pema Chodron who believes in compassion being a way of life, and more than just a emotion but a way to become enlightened, and a source meditation to help ones own life. I must say I agree with her to extent that it is a way to a source of enlightenment, and becoming a better person. I feel that without compassion people become non-human in the aspect that you become detached from the emotional aspect that we are made to become success, and made to help ourselves, and others to become better. 


Part 3 The idea of I....intelligence. You must be intelligent in all aspects of life. You cant just believe that things will fall into place all the time it is intelliegent to always have a back-up plan or two in all situations. I dont belive that successful indiiviuals get to success by just going out on a leap of faith in everything that they do. Its just silly to belive that Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates just did everything on the idea that everything will fall into place. No all intelligent business men have plans for years, and never stop thinking on how they can improve their ideas, and motives for the best outcome(s) possible. I know that intelligence is actually the most important topic in my whole post because without intelligence we cant make a successful plan of attack to pursue our goals, and you have no way to know what is your best interest if you don't take the time to sit, and really think. Use your intelligence to the best of its abilities to pursue, and achieve what goals you can achieve. The American Philosopher Howard Gardner believes that we have a Multitude of Intelligence, and that we have a array of different intelligence for every aspect of. So which aspect of life are we using to become successful in its own.   



Part 4 The Idea of D... Determination and hard work. The defintion of Determinism is the philosophical idea that every event or state of affairs, including every human decision and action, is the inevitable and necessary consequence of antecedent states of affairs. We must really think the idea that this states is that for everything you do you have the possibiolity to make it work, or fail. We have the ability to become successful in everything we do. We have the abilities to realize that life gives us hardships to see if we have the determination to pursue or goals, and dreams and fight for them until we recieved the life we want. The idea that I think of when i say Determination or Determinism is not just a idea of justchure but a way of life. The people fight for their dreams and goals usually become the world leaders who run the country, and the world the people who know that to become the best you must pursue, and work for all that you want to achieve, and then it will be earned, and taken by your own hands. The idea of determinism is acceptable to everyone, and ready to be achieved.
