Throughout (almost) all nine seasons of NBC's "The Office," Michael Scott has been (almost) an inspiration. His words make little to no sense, but they come from the heart. Thanks to Netflix, I've watched "The Office" five or six times and I have gotten my fair share of the world's best boss' words of wisdom. I compiled a list of the best life advice, as told by Michael Scott.
1. Fool me once, strike one. But fool me twice, strike three. (S3:E12)
2. To jump start a car... first, pop the hood. Then you take these bad boys and clip them anywhere on the engine. Then you take these and clip them... wherever. (S3:E14)
3. If they did throw their hats, I've got a great line for that: may your hats fly as high as your dreams. (S3:E16)
4. I live by one rule: no office romances. No way. Very messy, inappropriate. No. But I also live by another rule: just do it. Nike. (S1:E6)
5. Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There is such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown. (S3:E4)
6. My philosophy is basically this: Don't ever for any reason do anything to anyone for any reason, ever. No matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you were with... or where you are going, or where you've been... ever, for any reason whatsoever. (S5:E12)
7. Make friends first, makes sales second, make love third. In no particular order. (S6:E20)
8. It's never too early for ice cream. (S6:E24)
9. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky" - Michael Scott (S5:E23)
10. Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information. (S3:E19)
11. You need to play to win. But you also have to win to play. (S2:E4)
12. Please, please do not drink and drive... because you may hit a bump and spill the drink. (S2:E1)
