Abstract
This paper outlines the argument that Philosophers tend to seek an understanding based on life
existence and reality. They also discover the absolute nature of truth and knowledge hence
acquiring a fundamental value balance and significance of life. Their curiosity and desire make
them become successful in research regarding people relationships, humanity and society. There
we can argue that a person can become successful in life by becoming a philosopher
Introduction
Philosophy can be defined as the study of the significant nature of skills, knowledge, reality,
existence, and attitude and acts as a key principle of behavior.1 The ultimate work of a
philosopher is typically involved in diplomatic skills, social work, education, law, and religion as
a career.
When we consider success, the primary thing that rings a bell is an individual accomplishing
something extraordinary. In any case, how is that accomplishment estimated? Well, there is no
response to that as progress can't be quantitatively estimated. One can't take a gauge to quantify
the measure of accomplishment an individual has accomplished, nor is it conceivable to gauge
the measure of achievement the individual has come to from their diligent work. So what is the
genuine estimation of achievement? In my argument, the genuine estimation of success can be
recognized when a demonstration performed by an individual surpassed societal expectations
and understanding provided by skills of being a philosopher.2
Research questions
Philosophers are able to be successful as a result of understanding the world they live in and their
relationship with other people. They are able to answer, evaluate and reason out some complex
questions such as;
• What is it to be a human?
• What is the human personality?
• Are we in charge of what we do, or would we say we are simply powerless casualties of our
qualities, condition, and childhood?
• Is there a Divine being?
• What is the best kind of life to live?
• What is joy? Would we be able to want to accomplish it? Is it what is important most
throughout everyday life?

• How would it be a good idea for us to adjust our very own wants, needs, and rights against
those of other people? Against those of who and what is to come? Creatures?
Discussion
Philosophy is important for skills development. This helps one to become successful in
education. Through philosophy, an individual is able to develop personal growth, behavior, and
emotions. Philosophy professors are successful in their field of teaching and are experts in
various fields helping; learners to grow their own personal skills and life understanding. One can
thus be successful as a philosopher since they are able to gunner awards in a consistent way and
higher rating.3Philosophers are able to be pioneers of non-government organizations such as The
American Philosophical Affiliation.
Most individuals are able to have a wide range of disciplines or be successful in careers... In any
case, they do proceed to land great positions in a wide scope of fields, including law, business,
education, government, religion, journalism, and advertising, retail the executives, social
administration, and some more.
They are thus able to advance in diverse career opportunities as a result of ultimate transferable
working skills. Philosophers majorly makes work successful in all dimensions. They are able to
head for a profession in the business world since the skills they possess are exactly those the
employers are looking for. 4It also improves Personal development. It makes philosophers have
the capacity to anticipate when their objectives and dreams will occur.
Philosophers are successful in having a strong history of discovering important life aspects. They
become successful authors of books making a difference and value to other generations in the
future. They are able to acquire diverse philosophic ideas.5
In my argument, philosophers become successful in life and also change important aspects
influencing other people lives. Over the years they have been successful in making positive
changes in the government, religion, and education. They are able to live in a successful
democratic society. This helps reduce problems and discourages malicious activities in society.
The key values and skills acquired from the education system help people to have a clear
reflection towards important philosopher's idea.
They have critical, thinking and inductive reasoning skills that help solve life problems in order
to be successful
Communication skills. Philosophy enhances the success and development of both expressive and
communication powers. It makes the philosopher have the ability to analyze various arguments
It gives a portion of the essential apparatuses of self-articulation - for example, aptitudes in
showing thoughts through very much developed, precise contentions - that different fields either
don't utilize or utilize less broadly.6 As a philosopher it encourages us to express what is

particular in our perspectives, it improves our capacity to clarify troublesome material, and it
causes us to dispose of ambiguities and unclearness from our writing and speech.
Persuasive powers: Philosophy gives preparing in the development of clear plans, great
contentions, and proper precedents. It, consequently, encourages us to build up our capacity to
persuade. Philosophers are able to figure out how to construct and guard our very own
perspectives and to value contending positions. These core capacities can be created by being
successful as a philosophical writer.
Writing abilities one can become a philosophical writer such as essays and term papers.
Reasoning shows interpretive composition through its examination of difficult writings person is
able to develop critical argumentative writing and originality towards their research work.
Understanding other disciplines: the philosopher is imperative for our capacity to comprehend
different fields. Numerous essential inquiries concerning a discipline, for example, the nature of
its ideas and its connection to different disciplines, are philosophical in nature. Philosophy of
science, for instance, is expected to enhance the comprehension of the natural and social sciences
that gets from logical science work itself.7 Philosophers of writing and history are of comparable
incentive in understanding the humanities, art (aesthetics) is imperative in understanding both the
visual and the performing arts. Philosophy is, additionally, successful in surveying the different
gauges of proof utilized by different fields. Since all fields of learning utilize thinking and should
set models of proof, rationale and epistemology have a general bearing on every one of these
fields.
One can become successful as a philosopher through understanding the environment and
enacting policies that important for environmental protection.8
In my argument philosophers become successful in the development of sound methodologies of
research and analysis. Researchers argue that one can build on both life successes and failures
through philosophic predecessors. One is able to formulate new ideas and proposals that are
important in technological advancements. Philosophers are able to train hard and become
innovative. In my argument, one can become a successful philosopher in acquiring a skill that
range from various academic and non-academic jobs.9
Conclusion
Numerous individuals are unconvinced that philosophy is critical, I think there are valid
arguments to think it is imperative. Philosophy can help improve basic critical thinking aptitudes,
but it can help give an individual with philosophic knowledge and skills which can significantly
help improve basic reasoning.10 In addition, I don't discover the view that philosophy gains no
progress and furnishes philosophers with no skills to be highly plausible. This is based on the
argument that on the way that it appears to be evident that everybody knows something about
one philosophical area (rationale), and a few people find out about that domain than others. The
above discussion indicates that one can become highly successful in life by becoming a
philosopher.
