.. i am saluting to SpongeBob Squarepants. :)

here's something Robin Sharma wrote in a chapter of his book, The Greatness Guide.

'SpongeBob Squarepants is my hero. if SpongeBob were a human being, the world would be a better place. seriously. here are four lessons SpongeBob can teach us to get more joy in life.

Be the eternal optimist. They guy (or sponge, i should say) always sees the best in any situation. and because SpongeBob looks for the best, he finds it.

Value people. SpongeBob knows what friendship means. he loves his pals in Bikini Bottom even Squidword.

Be an original. SpongeBob is one of a kind. Have the courage to be your true -- and greatest -- you.

Laugh and have fun. There's no point in being successful but sad. Makes no sense. Yes, reach for the mountaintop. But enjoy the climb as well. Life wasn't meant to be an ordeal. It was meant to be a celebration.'
(Sharma, 2006)

this is just an excerpt from one of the many chapters of Robin Sharma's The Greatness Guide. this one is my current favorite because he used SpongeBob as an example which is something we can easily relate to. and it's funny to think that SpongeBob really could stand as a model for everyone. It's funny to think that this bright yellow sponge whom we all love so much for making us laugh everyday could actually be a reference point for all of us on how to live our lives. it's funny but it's true. Robin Sharma is dead-on about this. at least for me he is. :))
i like SpongeBob. He brightens up my day like Chace Crawford in GossipGirl does (HAHAHA). but when i read The Greatness Guide, i realized that there really is more than what we see. SpongeBob is the ideal person we all should try to be. Optimistic, loving, unique and fearless, and happy.
Next time you see SpongeBob on tv, try to look past the holes in his body, his one-piece outfit, his pineapple house and his meowing snail then maybe you'll see your hero too. :)
