There's so much we as Americans can learn from that yellow sponge on Nickelodeon. I've watched enough Spongebob Squarepants to know that it can be kind of annoying. I also know that there is a lot that goes over young children's heads. But that is what I find so fascinating about that cartoon. 1. Love Yourself Spongebob is always finding some way to feel good about himself that is not harmful. He owns an inspirational quote calender that calls him a winner. How could he not love himself with that sort of motivation every day? He finds activities that he loves to do. An expert bubble blower and an avid jelly fisher, Spongebob is always branching out with his best friend, Patrick, and spending lots of time pursuing those activities that he loves. Thusly, he feels good about himself, as anyone does when they do something that they truly love. 2. Love Your Job Spongebob is a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. Every day for little pay, he makes hamburgers and fries. In our society, working a fast food type environment seems love. People assume that those jobs can only be held by people who did not go to college or just don't have the motivation to try. Not Spongebob. This persistent little sponge loves his job, no matter how greasy and fattening it is. He goes to work, rain or shine, sick or dead on his feet. He's always there, ready to work, and completely devastated when he must take vacation time. |
