6 Things to Learn About Life from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
4. Being a control freak is great
Monica was the one with OCD and wouldn’t rest until things were the way she wanted them – neat, tidy and orderly. This helped her save the day in many episodes. It helps in life to be organized and in the know of things. After all, only if you are control of the reins and impeccable, will people think of you as reliable, especially on the professional front.
5. Do what you love
Each of the characters on F.R.I.E.N.D.S. had one shared motivational trait in them; they loved what they did and did what they loved. Even though Ross was the butt of many jokes for choosing to be a paleontologist or Joey was literally living a hand to mouth existence by struggling to be an actor, the characters never gave up on what they loved to do. As they say, if you love your work, you will never feel like you are working.
6. Support each other during times of need
Almost all of the characters have been jobless throughout the series at some point of their lives. Be it Joey the struggling actor, Monica who found her passion as a chef later in life or her husband Chandler who had to financially depend on his wife when he quit his job. Or be it Ross who was having trouble with his love life, Phoebe who was struggling with her first serious relationship or Rachel who was trying hard to be the perfect first time mother. These friends stuck by each other through thick and thin, because you never abandon a friend who is truly in need.
