Philosophy should give the human being a mental basis that will allow man to lead a happy life and solve the problems of the now. Philosophy does not consist of making things complicated and incomprehensible like today's degenerate philosophies do. In this book, no philosophical phrases are discussed in order to play mental soccer. This book gives basics about life, which one can apply to lead to a fulfilled, happy existence. Basic questions about life itself are solved. What is life? What is man? Is it that a creature arose from mud by chance as science tells you? Or is it that matter is motivated by a soul as the priest makes you believe. Why does man think the way he thinks? What is the goal of existence?

IBM zEnterprise BC12 Technical Guide

Was sind die Grundlagen des Daseins? Welche Geisteshaltung bedarf es in der heutigen Zeit, um im Leben bestehen zu können, um Glück und Wohlergehen zu erfahren? Was ist wichtig zu wissen? Der Mensch selbst, als denkendes Wesen ist der Ansicht, dass seine mächtigste Waffe der Verstand ist. Aufgrund seiner Fähigkeit zu denken, hat er sich die Erde zum Untertan gemacht. Und tatsächlich, das Denken bestimmt das Handeln des Menschen, der Mensch ist nur so stabil wie sein Gedanke. Der Gedanke selbst fußt auf Grundlagen die bestimmend dazu sind, wie man überlebt. So versucht der Mensch sich selbst, sein Denken und Handeln, die Welt um sich herum zu verstehen. Verstehen: Was ist wichtiger als Verstehen selbst? Grundlagen komprimiert verpackt, in kurzen Texten dargestellt. Mehr als 200 Essays führen den Leser zu mehr Verstehen im Leben und über das Leben selbst, sei es nun über den Menschen, das Denken, Glücklichsein, Beziehung, Lernen, Beruf, den Ursprung von Krankheiten, gesellschaftliches Dasein, Religion, Politik oder Freiheit. Die Probleme des Menschen werden von der Ursache her geschildert und Lösungen angeboten. Es macht einen Unterschied, dieses Wissen zu haben und sich dadurch selbst zu helfen. "Philosophie des Lebens - Das Buch der Grundlagen" ist der Gesamt-Band, welcher die Bücher "Meine Philosophie", "Lernen wie man lernt, lernen wie man versteht", "Eine glückliche Beziehung führen", "Rückführung - Einführung und Kurzanleitung" und ehemals "Im Leben bestehen - Die Bibel des 21sten Jahrhunderts" in einem Buch vereint.

Philosophie des Lebens - Das Buch der Grundlagen

Lernen wie man lernt, lernen wie man versteht Verstehen ist eine des Lebens innewohnende Fähigkeit und besonders der Mensch als lebende Einheit versucht, durch Verstehen mit seiner Umgebung zurechtzukommen - somit kann Verstehen zu einer umfangreichen Sache werden. Der Hersteller von Autos muss nicht nur etwas über Motor, Karosserie und Fahrwerk wissen, sondern auch etwas über menschliche Anatomie und menschliche Vorlieben - schau, die Größe der Sitze, der Abstand zum Lenkrad, die Höhe der Windschutzscheibe befinden sich in einem bestimmten Bereich und das Auto soll schön sein, sonst wird es nicht gekauft. Ebenso Verstehen und Lernen als Fachgebiet, es beinhaltet die Grundlagen des Verstandes, Wörterbücher, richtiges Beobachten, persönliche Einstellung, Wissen über die Gesunderhaltung des Körpers, um auch leistungsfähig bei der geistigen Arbeit zu sein. In diesem Buch wird etwas umfassend gearbeitet, um nicht nur ein Konzept über lernen und verstehen zu bekommen, sondern auch eine entsprechende Einstellung. In diesem Werk wird ein Denkraster vermittelt und dem Leser die Werkzeuge gegeben, die er zum Lernen und Verstehen braucht - unabdingbar für ein erfolgreiches Studium. Es nutzt nichts, über Gehirnwindungen, Speicherkapazität von Hirnzellen und Synapsen zu wissen, dies ist bloßes Wissen und muss selbst erlernt werden. Vielmehr geht es darum, eine Technologie an den Mann zu bringen, also Wissen, welches angewendet werden kann.

Lernen wie man lernt, lernen wie man versteht

A Happy Relationship I love you! What does the person mean when he says, "I love you"? He sees the other and knows this feeling. But is it a physical matter or a mental one? Is it the person himself? Does not the person with his thoughts play the greatest role and decide? What are the basics for a happy relationship? What are the rules of this game? It is the individual who wants to enter into a connection with another individual. Thus, the basis of a relationship is the individual. It is of no use just to carry the feeling of love for the other in oneself because there are things that promote the relationship with one another and things that are detrimental to a relationship. Some speak of love and being in love, such that when one is in love, the feeling of love is the strongest, but this feeling subsides over time. But why is that so, and what can be done about it? Learn the basics of a happy partnership so that your relationship is blessed with happiness and longevity.

A Happy Relationship

Life itself wants to live. All knowledge could be packed into a pyramid, where at the tip, only one word is present: life. The word "life" by itself does not have enough meaning, and its definition does not give all the necessary information about its various types of existence. Humanity has an abundance of knowledge, and yet we can detect that any doing or thinking can, in the end, be reduced to "life." Therefore, we have a hierarchy of importance. Life will probably only be completely understood once all information has been collected, then evaluated, and associated - an impossible task, due to continuous creation of new knowledge and discoveries, and changes in perspectives, which require information to be evaluated and associated again. Perhaps a few main points will suffice to have orientation in life, and any knowledge regarding these main points can be expanded or replaced without changing the quality in understanding life significantly. My Philosophy provides a few main points that are listed in the pyramid of knowledge directly below "life." The brief corollaries in My Philosophy may not be understood right away, and are the basis for the book Philosophy of Life, where life is addressed in more detail. It is like life itself, which can only be understood by having accumulated large amounts of information and personal experiences. The reader of My Philosophy will probably gain a deeper insight after having read Philosophy of Life and will therefore be able to compare and evaluate his personal experiences.

My Philosophy

Human Rights The assurance of human rights in an orderly environment is the foundation for a peaceful existence and a thriving civilization. In a hostile environment with fighting and destruction, there is no peaceful existence, and a civilization cannot prosper through achievements in medicine, technology and science, all of which contribute to the welfare of humanity. But what distinguishes human rights, so that there can be a peaceful coexistence that contributes to the welfare of humans? First, humans need the basic attitude followed by the corresponding knowledge and a code to achieve this, thus, making it something that everyone must work on.

Well, I was sent to school and I was told to learn. But nobody ever took the time to tell me how to learn ... and worse, nobody explained to me how understanding worked. So it was up to me to find out what learning was all about and to find out how understanding worked. Indeed, there are tools with which this work can be done, a thinking grid of how to understand. No matter how you may choose to apply this knowledge, I wish you success in whatever you hope to achieve. There are countless books for teachers on how to teach and for students on how to learn, but Learning How to Learn stands alone in the clear, practical approach it takes in providing teachers, students, parents, administrators, and government officials the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today's diverse educational settings. It is more than just a philosophy of education. It is a guide of incomparable value for students of all ages who aspire to be autonomous learners and for others, experienced or novice, who may be charged with planning, programming, and executing educational curricula and programs. The many illustrative examples add to its exceptional readability, and the book can be read in its entirety or used as a desk reference for specific topics. Francis C. Pengitore, Ed. D. Adjunct Assistant Professor of Higher Education Administration

Learning How to Learn, Learning How to Understand

What It Means to Be Human What is a Human? Is it, as science wants you to believe, a creature that arose from mud or, as the priest tells you, a being of soul-motivated flesh? What and who are you? One thing for sure, dead matter doesn't think! In this book, Wolfgang Fries critically examines the age-old philosophical question of what it means to be human using straight talk and common sense. One thing is certain. You are alive and try to live a life as a human being. You have your notions of how to live your life, but your ideas regarding life are countered by certain intentions, which make life a difficult and complicated task. So we have these two things, your notions and counter intentions, which give you a frame of living. To subsist in life, a certain amount of knowledge and understanding is necessary. But to establish understanding, knowledge has to be evaluated with respect to right and wrong, important and unimportant. The author maintains that only by understanding the complex issues that present themselves today will the human being be able to achieve personal goals and survive in this world. He covers such timely topics as coping with stress, fake news, the influence of the media, big pharma, big government, rampant materialism, illnesses and the novel coronavirus. No prior knowledge of moral philosophy is necessary to benefit from what readers will surely find to be an indispensable book.

For the first time it is possible to deploy an integrated hardware platform that brings mainframe and distributed technologies together: a system that can start to replace individual islands of computing and that can work to reduce complexity, improve security, and bring applications closer to the data that they need. With the zEnterprise System a new concept in IT infrastructures is being introduced: zEnterprise ensembles. A zEnterprise ensemble is a collection of highly virtualized diverse systems that can be managed as a single logical entity where diverse workloads can be deployed. Ensembles, together with the virtualization, flexibility, security, and management capabilities provided by the zEnterprise System are key to solving the problems posed by today's IT infrastructure. The zEnterprise System consists of three components: - IBM® zEnterprise Central Processor Complex (CPC) The zEnterprise CPC can either be a zEnterprise 196 (z196) or a zEnterprise 114 (z114). Both zEnterprise CPCs offer z/OS, z/VSE, and z/TPF operating systems, as well as the ability to run many virtualized Linux servers under the z/VM operating system. - IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX) The zBX provides the capability to run the wide variety of applications typically found in UNIX and x86 architectures. The zBX supports select POWER7 blades running AIX and System x blades running Linux on System x and Microsoft Windows. - IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager Unified Resource Manager runs in the Hardware Management Console (HMC). It provides integrated management across all elements of the zEnterprise System. This IBM Redbooks® publication discusses how to plan and implement an ensemble, using the zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager. This book assumes a knowledge of IT systems, networks, and storage devices.
