Parks and Recreation character, Ron Swanson, is arguably one of the best characters on the show. His tough demeanor and hatred for the federal government provide a good laugh whenever he opens his mouth. His thick mustache and stoic attitude give the Parks Department what it needs to stay afloat, even though Leslie Knope does 99.99 percent of the work. But, even though Ron is tough and demanding, he still provides viewers with tidbits of wisdom that we can follow, even though it may come across harsh. So here are five wonderful words of wisdom brought to you by Ron Swanson.

Ron Swanson is extremely realistic. One cannot give 110 percent intensity, that number just simply does not exist. One cannot give more than all that they have. So always give 100 percent, unless you're working for the federal government and then he would say just sit there and ignore the phone.

This kind of ties in with the first tidbit of wisdom. When giving 100 percent, give it to one thing at a time. Ron says to do one thing and do it well then move on to the next. I can agree to this wholeheartedly. I cannot multi-task, and when I do the tasks I am doing turn out terrible. So whole-ass one thing ladies and gentleman. Don't half-ass anything, it won't get you anywhere in life.

This could be just a guy thing, but, when eating meat, feelings are on hold. The only feeling that should be felt is the pure joy and pleasure of being able to bite into the wonderful creation that God provided for us as food. Meat is a staple. For those of you that refrain from eating meat, thank you. More meat for me.

Go out and experience the beauty of nature! It is so wonderful. Even if I am just reading a book I love to be out in my hammock loving the sun and the trees. The bugs could go away, however. If you are going to paint nature go outside and enjoy it first! I am not much of a painter (I would botch the magnificence of the creation) so I will do all of the standing, hiking and walking in it I can.

This is probably the wisest thing this man has said. I personally do not enjoy cats much. They don't fetch. They don't come when you call their name. They just eat the food you buy them and be lazy. And when people have an awesome cat they exclaim "but my cat is so cool it is just like a dog!" If the best quality of your cat is a quality that a dog possess then it only proves the point dogs are better. And over 50 pounds please. I don't want to risk stepping on ones dog when I interact with it.

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.
