Childhood is one of the best stage in our lives that we all have gone through. The precious moments where the only thing we know is limitless fun and plays. Perceive the world as a playground filled with rainbows in the skies, butterflies flying around our heads and the blushing vibrant color of flowers in the fields dominated by the eye-pleasing greenery.

Running back and forth.

Chasing each other with a grin from ear to ear.

Loud cries that obviously seek some attention from our parents.

Priceless happiness that we get from hearing the drops of rain, as it make noises the moment it hits the surface of our roofs.

And most of all, the iconic cartoon movies that we often watch in the television whenever we have no classes.

I am certain that most of us here can definitely relate with the things thag I have stated above.

Remisnicing our childhood and silliness back then is surely a fun thing to do. Isn't it?

However, my focus in this article will not be about our activities back then. But about the lessons that I have learned from the most renowned cartoon movie that everyone of us surely loves.

It is none other than, Mr. Bean.

(Intro music. Lol.)

I already lost my train of thoughts but I will still try my best to deliver this one clearly to all of you. So, where am I again? Hmmm.

Oh yeah, I decided to share to you guys the learnings that Mr. Bean have taught me, which I only realized today of course.

Here it goes...

• It's okay to be different from others

Mr. Bean's personality is definitely far different from the majority of the people. He acts different but it doesn't mean that he doesn't belong to us. He perfectly portrayed that being different is totally fine and even wonderful. The reality is, we are all different from each other. And that what makes each one us unique and beautiful.

• Happiness is a choice

This has always been one my mantra ever since. Happiness can never be found anywhere or in the other side of the fence. Happiness starts within you. It is found within us. Where you are. What you are. That's happiness.

• Always be kind to others

Mr. Bean may be a bit weird but we cannot deny the reality that he is totally a kind hearted person. I remembered many scenes where the kindness of Mr. Bean was emphasized. Being kind to others isn't difficult at all. No matter how bad our day may get, let's still choose to be kind. Each of us certainly have our own battles to fight.

• Enjoy your own company

Being alone doesn't convey loneliness. Some people just preferred to be all by themselves. They find peace of mind im solitude. We have to learn to enjoy our own company because not everytime, they will be there for us.

• You don't need words to show someone that you care

This is the truest of them all. Sure, words are so pleasing to the ear. However, what matters really the most is the actions. Everyone can compliment and pamper your with their sugarcoating words , but only few people can prove it with their actions. Always remember that renowned quotes, "Action speaks louder than words."

• Be free. Be true. Be you.

One of the things that I have learned in this movie is that, no matter where life may bring you and other people may throw towards you, always be yourself. Be true to yourself and don't let anything hold you back. You are created for so much more than this. Be free. Soar high!
