NEW APP DELIVERS WISE, PHILOSOPHICAL, OPTIMISTIC QUOTES ABOUT LIFE

An amazing new iPhone app delivers 365 wise, and potentially life-changing quotes, direct to your mobile each day for a year. By Ben Arogundade.

DIGITAL WISDOM: A selection of wise, philosophical and optimistic quotes about life from the new app 365 Positivity.

“CHOOSE THE LABOUR YOU LOVE, and you will never have to work again.” This is one of my favourite quotes attributed to Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher. For young people about to embark upon careers, or indeed for anyone changing jobs, this is a beautiful mantra for seeking out the thing in life that most gives you joy, and then creating your occupation from it.

WISE, PHILOSOPHICAL, DIGITAL
The wise, philosophical words of Confucius date back to 5th century China, and they are classic in their enduring truth — but where are today’s quotes for the modern generation? What is wisdom now? We have philosophers, writers, politicians, celebrities and others all adding quotes to the canon of what is considered wise. Simultaneously, Google has its take on the matter, recording a total of approximately 70,000 searches per month for the combined terms “wise quotes” and “philosophical quotes,” from Internet users globally. This provides a good indication of the numbers who are actively thinking about the subject at any given moment.

The newest entrant to this culture comes from within the realm of digital well-being. 365 Positivity is a radical new app that pings wise, philosophical optimistic quotes direct to your mobile each day for a year. The app’s short messages act like a series of digital fortune cookies — each quote is designed to spark pro-active thought or action that could help men and women alike in their quest to improve their lives — all through the power and resonance of words.

NEW OPTIMISTIC QUOTES ABOUT LIFE
Unlike other quotes apps, 365 Positivity’s messages do not consist of celebrity musings, or old sayings that have simply been reformatted — instead, the app contains original creative writing, imbued with a contemporary and sometimes humorous feel which is more relevant to life now. “Failure is cool – if you learn from it,” is one of its many mantras. Now approved by the UK's National Health Service (NHS), the app’s 365 quotes cover a diversity of topics of interest to both males and females, young and old, including love, kindness, compassion, success, motivation, food and the beauty of nature. There should be something in there for everybody, including you.
