Charlie Chaplin lived 88 years and left 4 important messages during his life: He was a simple man in a complitated life, but he left us a simple message to follow.
1. Nothing is eternal in this world, not even our problems.
2. I like to walk in the rain so that no one can see my tears.
3. A wasted day in life is when we don't laugh.
4. The six best doctors in the world are: Sun, Rest, Exercise, Diet, Self-Esteem and Friends.
Stick to them at every stage of life and enjoy a healthy life. Life is just a journey. So live for today, tomorrow may not be. But don't dispair because we all know that life is a cycle.
While attending St Francis College in Brooklyn, New York I took a varyiety of Philosophy courses, A poem by Dylan Thomas. Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night always stuck with, me these Fifty years.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
BY DYLAN THOMAS
ABOUT THIS POET
Born in Swansea, Wales, Dylan Thomas is famous for his acutely lyrical and emotional poetry, as well as his turbulent personal life. The originality of his work makes categorization difficult. In his life he avoided becoming involved with literary groups or movements, and unlike other...

On the other hand Jean-Paul Sartare made me question everything in my life. In one of his writings, At the end of Being and Nothingness, Sartre promises an ethics, one in which authenticity is a central notion. To be authentic involves acknowledging and embracing one’s freedom and its implications. Thus, in The Flies he suggests three conditions necessary for authenticity: to engage the situation (rather than remaining indifferent to it), to explicitly choose one’s responses (rather than enact a choice one does not really endorse), and to sustain responsibility for them in the future (rather than denying or avoiding responsibility). The play’s hero, Orestes, exemplifies these conditions dramatically. In “Existentialism Is a Humanism,” Sartre suggests that persons bear responsibility for all mankind because, in acting, they offer models for all to emulate. Sartre also stresses that the world is human because no God exists to provide it a transcendent purpose or to offer indubitable support for values. The historical world and the values informing it are created entirely by persons and their choices. He also suggests that persons create themselves through their choices (rather than possessing a predetermined essence) and that abstract rules can never do justice to the situational complexity people confront in practice. Finally, he argues that since freedom is the source of any possible value, it functions as a meta-value, to be respected at all costs.
These Phil0sophers, "The Funny Man" t0 the poet Dylan Thomas "Don't Go Gently into that Good Night" and finally to Jean-Paul Sartare Philosophy. I could never find any answers to all my questions, therefore, I concluded that the answers are in the questions for every individual to apply the their life experances.
