Life Advice As Told By Michael Scott
Fanpop

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)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
