Life's Framework

My attempt at making a life framework.

Today I learned the importance of frameworks. In school, frameworks are graphical representations of theories that explain approaches to a problem. My professor is training us to answer all problems and cases through frameworks. It makes sense actually because these theories and graphs were studied and formulated well by experts and geniuses. I must admit I am not quite good at following frameworks. I answer problems through gut feel or common sense. There's nothing really wrong about it, it's just that with gut feel or common sense, there's less chance of getting at the right solution to a problem. And I wouldn't want that. Through frameworks, you are able to approach a case intellectually. You have greater chances not only of solving the problem but as well as getting an A.

In real life, we also have frameworks. We have the Bible. Our parents' and priest's sermons. Self- help books, etc, etc. All these are supposed to guide us in living our life right. But most of us, like me, are not really good at following frameworks. We like to do what feels right inside, even if its wrong for other people. We like to be spontaneous. We don't like to follow the experts' advice because we think they don't really understand us. And so, we make mistakes...quite often. At times we even regret.

I hope by the end of the term I'll finally learn using frameworks well. I guess it's not only gonna get me a great grade, but as well as teach me to live my life better each day.
