Most of us know who the Simpson family is. In fact, they are older than a lot of us who watch the show, today.
Growing up, I never missed an episode. As the longest ever running sitcom -- 25 years to be exact -- it is no
surprise these episodes contain multiple valuable lessons we can all learn
from. Here are a few of my favorites.
1. Don’t take everything so seriously. Seriously, lot of things in life shouldn’t be taken so seriously. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
2. Sleep is extremely important (and fun).
3. Never forget to tell your friends how much they
mean to you, in whatever way you can.
4. Because true best friends are hard to come by.
5. Never be ashamed of your body or who you are.
6. But don’t be afraid to embrace change; it can be
good.
7. This may not be completely true, (okay, maybe
partially in college), but it really isn’t about winning or losing. Remember
when we were kids and all that mattered was your effort? Whether it be a game,
a grade, or a job, effort really does count.
8. Life is not easy. Sometimes, even when you try,
you fail.
9. But that does not mean to stop persevering and
dreaming big.
10. Lastly, when things get tough and it seems
like things will never get better, remember why you do what you do, and who you
do it for.
