The MCU brought the comic book heroes from our childhood to life. Those who watched the films over the past decade were entertained with hours of action, comedy, and drama. However, these movies also delivered advice that we can use in life. Nobody would have thought superhero films could teach us something. Here are 10 life lessons from Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

1. You are stronger as a team

At some point, we are told by a parent or teacher that two heads are better than one. That's great, but how about working in a group? Teamwork allows us to accomplish tasks faster, motivate others to push forward, and overcome any challenges. When entering a career path, learning to work as a team is essential for developing as a person and maintaining success.

2. Being a leader means putting others first

It takes hard work, patience, courage, trust, and responsibility to fulfill a leadership role. You need to help others to succeed by making sure they are working towards their goals, instead of forcing others to do everything your way. Leaders also have to make difficult choices, but that's part of the job. You need to prove you got what it takes to lead a team.

3. Everyone has a role to play

There are times when we feel that our goals are impossible. When it comes to working with someone less experienced than you, we might start to believe they might not be as useful. However, we all have skills that make us distinctive. Eventually, the person that you had assumed was unhelpful will use their expertise to assist you during your time of need.

4. Success requires giving up things for others

This is one of the most difficult things we can do, but that's part of life. Family, friends, and co-workers occasionally have to make sacrifices. Not everything will go the way you originally intended. In order to get ahead, you might have to give up what's most important to you in life, but doing so may lead to better things, not only for yourself but others, as well.

5. You cannot do everything by yourself

When it comes to doing things like running a business or completing a big project, you will need assistance from others. Being knowledgeable and experienced in something is great, but it often takes the skills of other people like classmates or co-workers to succeed. When everyone utilizes their talents, even the most challenging of tasks can be accomplished.

6. Work together to overcome personal conflicts

It may be difficult making friends with people that have different views or opinions as you. While constructive criticism and debates are okay, try not to escalate into verbal attacks or violence. Learning to compromise is important when dealing with individual problems we may have. Cooperating with each other is more beneficial than working against each other.

7. Get advice from others before making a life-changing decision

When it comes to making a big decision either in school or in life, you should always ask for advice or suggestions from others before moving forward with your plans. Discussing ideas first might prevent you from making dangerous choices.

8. Celebrate accomplishments with your team

Any kind of victory whether it is huge or small needs to be celebrated in order to give you and your team a positive boost. If you did well on an exam or completed a big project at work, use this time to go out for a celebration with your friends. If it was a group effort, make sure to show your gratitude for everyone's hard work. They will appreciate the support you give.

9. Learn self-discipline

There are many things that get us angry in life, but we must resist these negative feelings to avoid lashing out at family or friends during bad days. Controlling your temper and listening to people can help you to manage stress levels. Friends and co-workers will learn to trust you, be more willing to hold discussions, and want to invite you out with them to events.

10. Try to be courageous, reliable, and adjust to change

Preparing for an exam, taking on a challenging task, or doing anything new for the first time can be terrifying. Learning to push yourself past your limits will make you stronger and determined to get things done quickly. It is important to not give up and remain consistent with your assignments so you can improve your time management skills and let others see you as someone they can depend on. It's also important to know that by adapting to any changes along the way, you will prove to your family, friends, classmates, and co-workers that you are someone that can maintain both a work and personal life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
