FILLIPISMS 3333 Maxims
FILLIPISMS 3333 MAXIMS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR LIFE
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, the attention span of the world is being reduced to 140 characters or less. Precepts or maxims are of great value and a few useful ones at hand can do more to produce a positive mindset, a happy life than volumes that we cannot lay hands on or do not have time to pore over. I was always drawn from my childhood to read and reflect on proverbs and quotes of the noted personalities of history. These had an amazing and transformative impact on my mind. In my late teens, I began writing my own version of these maxims.
This book is a compilation of maxims that I call “ Fillipisms” which I have written over the past few decades. Most of it have been written over the past ten years at the rate of one or two per day. Fillipisms were liked or commented upon by a large number of regular readers on social media which encouraged me to continue to craft these maxims. Some of the words employed in my life quotes presented in this first volume are new words spelt differently and coined to convey a distinctive meaning. Some of the Fillipisms are a revision of traditional wisdom. Some are a pithy comment on contemporary life and culture.
This volume of Fillipisms consists of 3333 which incidentally breaks the world record of maxims or sayings written by a single individual in any language hitherto. The 3333 Fillipisms have been organized into 33 chapters of 101 maxims for the sake of convenience and referencing. A reader may choose to reflect on only one maxim for a period of time, read one page per day of a month or may read an entire chapter. The chapters covering all of life’s most vital themes like leadership, faith, love, attitudes, motivation are not watertight. The classification under these themes is not very strict as many of the themes overlap. Readers are welcome to quote the Fillipisms with due acknowledgement of my authorship and copyright of specific terms and usages incorporated in the maxims.
Dr. PRATEEP V. PHILIP, IPS
FILLIPISMS is a word coined by the author to christen his unique and original maxims that are simple, pithy, full of puns, metaphors, written mostly over the past ten years but drawn from his three decades of experiences and reflection. The author has had two near death experiences of surviving a drowning in the sea and the world's very first human bomb assassination of a world leader. He is inspired by great lives and great thinkers like Socrates, Plato, Confucius, Thiruvalluvar but his chief source of inspiration is the life and teachings of Jesus. This book is his legacy of Inspiration and motivation to the contemporary world.
It is awesome that he holds the record for maximum original quotes authored by a single individual in any language globally and historically.

Dr. Prateep Philip needs no accolades regarding his life and its noble pursuit because the footprint of his work will grace the annals of history as a life that took chance and circumstance and fathomed a conduct of hope for others to follow. His literary offerings are always inspirational and because they are challenging – have become practical. Fillipisms which are offered as bite sized food for thought covers the gamut of many disciplines. As a marketplace leader and expositor of ethics, I have already found myself mesmerized by his ability to conjure up phrases akin to verbal gymnastics. This collection should be in every leader’s grasp to learn from the deep wisdom behind the words as well as to teach the deep wisdom in the words.
