Reflections on Life

While working and travelling throughout the international community, I encountered a wide variety of cultures and beliefs that produced a similarly wide variety of conflicting ethical standards and behaviours. I was determined to understand, reconcile, and deal with these diverse standards in a way that would be most beneficial.

These articles are intended to be a practical down-to-earth thought-provoking guide about what’s important for living a flourishing life … a blueprint for an individual as well as business success. I hope they provide some value, or at least an interesting read.

The ability to think, evaluate and choose is the supreme characteristic that makes us human. Every choice leads inexorably to right or wrong, good or bad, success or failure. To achieve satisfaction with life, one must strive to make good choices each and every day, accepting that success is a journey, not a destination.

The world is full of educated derelicts, and a scholarly education and lengthy pedigree do not necessarily validate one’s beliefs or opinions; only the quality of the logic behind them can determine their value. The reasoning should be robust; it should not be based on trite, commonly accepted clichés that merely happen to be popular. In addition, consider whether an opinion is based on a morality of life that promotes living well, or on a morality of death that promotes self-sacrifice, deprivation, and suffering.

The accomplishments of the Universe are great and wondrous for us to appreciate, marvel at, and enjoy. Each of us is a rare and unique human being who should be able to flourish as a proud, independent, sovereign individual with inalienable rights. I challenge you to weigh my opinions according to these criteria.
