The Simpsons family sit down to watch their favorite show in The Simpsons.
I've lived my life with one all-encompassing mantra: Everything important you need to know in life can be found in The Lion King, Star Wars, or The Simpsons. If you think about it, it's bloody brilliant, if I may so humbly say myself. Beating yourself up about a bad decision you made years ago?"It doesn't matter. It's in the past," as Rafiki tells Simba , motivating him to stop running and return home. Trying to get something done? To hell with that.
In Season 9's"Reality Bites," Homer says,"Trying is the first step towards failure," explaining why he's so hesitant to put any effort into anything that he's certain is going to go wrong anyway. Homer's assuring Bart he's not mad after Bart gives up trying to learn guitar in"The Otto Show" is parenting at its best:"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing.
"If At First You Don't Succeed, Give Up" Is More Than It Sounds Close So how do the defeatist and pessimistic words of a lowly nuclear plant worker, one whose grasp on being S-M-R-T is non-existent, teach any sort of lesson, let alone a life-changing one? In my case, the answer is two-fold. Initially, Homer's dismissal of trying anything gave me definition.
A random ad appearing on Facebook looking for applicants to write for Collider caught my eye, and instead of assuming that there was no point, I applied, and was rewarded with what I call"the fun job." And surely there's more fascinating things in the near future I can't talk about yet because they haven't happened, all thanks to merely trying.
