Life Lessons from F.R.I.E.N.D.S
It has been more than 20 years since F.R.I.E.N.D.S debuted on television and I have seen all its 236 episodes gazillion times. I know it sounds little weird but I can answer almost any question about the plot or characters from the entire seasons 1-10. From carefree Rachel to obsessive Monica, from straight forward Phoebe to brainless Joey, from humorous Chandler to intellectual Ross, I have loved each character and learnt the biggest lessons of life.
- Don’t bother if people don’t like you. Give your best and leave the rest.
2. The world doesn’t end up after two failed marriages and unsuccessful relationships. There is always a silver lining. So Never Give UP!
3. Never be shy of promoting your talent to others. Whether people like or not!
4. Always convey your feelings to the person whom you love. If you are rejected, its your hard luck, try next time!
5. When you don’t have an answer about anything, it’s always advisable to play safe.
6. You need girlfriends / besties to cheer you up during your tough times. Always stay connected to them, no matter how busy you are in your life.
7. Never give advice to people if you are bad at it.
8. Turning 30 is a wonderful thing. Not the end of an era. So embrace it!
9. Never take your loved ones for granted.
10. You should never go to party if you don’t want to enjoy.
11. Be straightforward about your dislikes.
12. Cherish all the moments you spend with your loved ones. Things may not remain the same forever.
