Life Advice From Dwight Schrute

Dwight Schrute is unlike any other. As a salesman, beet farmer, hotel owner, businessman, and Assistant (to the) Regional Manager, he has lots of wisdom to share. In an effort to make everyone's lives more Dwight-like, I've taken the liberty to pick 10 of Dwight's greatest pieces of life advice, and I urge every one of you to put Dwight's life hacks to practice.



1. Don't be afraid to take risks.


The classic tap-and-walk-the-other-way? Risky. Giving a key to your home? Riskier. If Dwight isn't afraid to take these risks, you shouldn't be either.


2. Do your research.

Staying ahead of the game may turn up with a sizable reward if executed properly.


3. Don't preoccupy yourself with others' opinions of you.

Stay confident in your abilities, and never let others' judgments stand in your way of success.


4. Fight for what you believe in.


Dwight is nothing if not passionate about the things he believes in, whether that be the company he is employed by or the girl he's got his eye on. (Disclaimer: Please avoid arson and other criminal activities when channeling your inner Schrute.)


5. Don't show your hand too soon.

Keep your peers on their toes -- they should always be wondering what you're really thinking/plotting.


6. But it's okay to pick one or two of those peers to befriend.



7. It's okay to embrace your fun side every once in a while.



Even Dwight lets loose occasionally! Don't be afraid to prove to your haters that you can be a prankster, too.


8. Don't be an idiot.

Honestly, we could all take this advice to heart.


9. Pop culture is nothing to concern yourself over.

We can never keep up with all the Hollywood relationships anyway. Sorry, Biebs.


10. Preparation is key to safety.


Your coworkers will thank you later.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
