Philosophy is a vessel, through which you take and share your wisdom with others. If your wisdom is water, then philosophy is the vessel. Each and every person in this world is a philosopher in his own way, and each differ in his/her own views. How much broad is your philosophy, that much wisdom you can have in it.. At a single moment, hundreds of thoughts originate and vanish in your human mind. Each of that hundred is a thought. And your mind, applies your own philosophy to each and every single thought that originate, and a very few thought become much meaningful, and become wisdom, and you become a wise person, and finally you are a great philosopher. So, you may be wise, but may not be a philosopher. It depends on you.

That is just the sort of etherial, unintelligble totally meaningless answer I usually get.
It does nothing to explain what practical use philosophy is.
