I may be a little biased, but I think "The Office" is undoubtedly one of the best shows that has ever aired on television. With characters that are funny, annoying, charming, silly, and sometimes stupid, it is incredibly entertaining while still teaching us some valuable lessons here and there about friendship and love. The boss, Michael Scott, may or may not be the best and worst boss to ever exist. He isn't too great a managing, unless it's micromanaging, but he is great at building a family out of his employees. While Michael is a genuine person, he also has his faults, much like many of us. As much as we would all like to deny it, we have a little bit of Michael Scott in each one of us. For example...
1. Occasionally, we all find a trend that we are really into.
Maybe we aren't very into it, but we sure are dedicated. Like Michael, we find fun in the simplest places. Parkour!
2. Sometimes, we can be a little melodramatic.
Michael takes not-so-serious things a little too seriously, and that's OK! It really happens to the best of us.
3. Speaking of being too dramatic, there are a few occasions in which we really don't like people, for no reason.
Like Michael's feelings for Toby, we all have our secret enemies. But, I wouldn't recommend treating them how Michael treats Toby.
4. Michael Scott is just a little kid on the inside, and we can all be a little childish sometimes.
5. We also can be very adult at times.
Like when studying for finals or trying to find a job, we like to be Michael's kind of "adult" and not think or do anything...
6. Sometimes, life really gets us down.
We feel like we aren't doing our best, like there's no hope for a happy tomorrow (even though there will always be a happy tomorrow).
7. And sometimes we feel downright invincible and just too cool.
8. On occasion, we like to make things really difficult for ourselves because we can.
Sometimes making something harder seems like the easiest way.
9. It's true, sometimes Michael Scott makes mistakes.
He is not the perfect person. Neither are any of us. We make plenty of mistakes and sometimes we are really foolish. But, Michael Scott is also a really good friend, sometimes a really good boss, and an all around good person. Just like all of us.
Sometimes life will get us down. Sometimes we don't make the smartest decisions. But when you're feeling like you can't do it, remember to embrace your inner Michael Scott. And one last piece of advice from the man himself,:
"'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.' -Wayne Gretzky" -Michael Scott
