I think therefore i Exist is an interesting phrase, and is highly philosophical. It is in fact a Latin statement: 'Cognito Ergo Sum' used by Rene Discartes which means that if someone is wondering whether or not he exists.
I THINK therefore i Exist is an interesting phrase, and is highly philosophical. It is in fact a Latin statement: “Cognito Ergo Sum” used by Rene Discartes which means that if someone is wondering whether or not he exists, there is sufficient proof to show that he does exist because at the very least, there is an "I" (The God within you) who is doing the thinking.
Descartes’ originally wrote in French, not in Latin, thereby reaching a wider audience in his country than that of scholars. He used the Latin "Cogito ergo sum" later. At that time, the argument had become popularly known in the English speaking world as 'the "Cogito Ergo Sum" argument', which is usually shortened to "Cogito" when referring to the principle virtually everywhere else. In fact life has two basic facets: one is reality, that you see in real practice, and the other one is what you can imagine through the mechanism of the thought process. It takes you in the past and shows you the paths that you have treaded through out your life, and it also takes you to the future when you try to foresee the non-hazy part and fix your vision, and then plan your mission accordingly. It is just like extrapolation (inverse of interpolation), the term that we use in statistics to project the given data set to find out the future values. Once the reality and thinking get together, life becomes smoother, and we go ahead with an optimistic attitude. Life is thus a mixed bag of reality and thinking. But thinking is more important in life, because it is initiated by the conscience with you. If you plan to do something wrong, the conscience within you will check you many times and forbid you for not doing it. On the other hand, if you plan to do something good, it will fully support you. We in fact are like puppets in the hands of the Almighty, and we execute whatever is instructed to us. We must, therefore, honour our conscience, the inner self that helps us to think and go ahead in life accordingly, of course with an optimal mix of what occurs in reality. We must also remember that the virtue of existence is self-evident, and hence, there should not be any doubts about this. In essence, therefore, there is no need to always ponder over the fact that we exist. We in fact exist. The only thing is that we should always listen to our conscience and inner self. This is the secret of a happy life.

Dear Raymot,
Many thanks for pinpointing the error. It is in fact Cogito Ergo Sum.

Thanks for reading my brief write-up. Whatever you have said is also true. Much depends on how you look at it?

.Good interpretation of answer to the question of one doubts about one's own existence.
The opposite- I exist, therefore I think- is also true though a bit pessimistic outlook of life.
