At any endeavor in life a better understanding of reality and its meaning is a great fuel for better living. This applies in smaller and/or larger scales. Modern laws that protect freedoms or better organize resources are based on ideas that are to any extent considered philosophy. Governmental methods are based in specific philosophies. What we do with our resources are guided by personal and social philosophies.
Examples -
1. If we had a different philosophy on the value of knowledge we would have never have made the huge efforts needed to go to the moon.
2. If we had a different philosophy in individual rights we would be living in a authocratic Monarchy, or a Communist society, or one of other systems.
ETC... it would go on for a very long time...!
Philosophy finds itself into every aspect of our lives even if we are not aware or apt to define it. Even your career development versus your personal life is significantly influenced by your personal philosophy through your understanding, attitudes and values.
