What I Learned form My Childhood Cartoons

Growing up, I loved to watch tv until my eyes decided to bail on me. I didn't go blind but, my vision was messed up- before you judge me , I did not sit too close to the tv. Well i was thinking about it the other night about just how my childhood changed my outlook of the world. I basically learned what most people learn form experiences just by watching cartoons. Well that stated, here are some cartoons that i used to watch that taught me some valuable lessons.

 Tom & Jerry -
 We all know the story line of Tom constantly trying to catch Jerry. Sometimes he would get him,most times he would just miss the target. The biggest lesson I learned from years of watching Tom & Jerry chase each other is to Be Strategic. Both Tom and Jerry taught me this as Tom would really look into the details of his plan on catching Jerry- despite some of them being unrealistic, and Jerry always planned ahead and assessed Tom's plans before he would strategies his own escape plan that always worked.

 Scooby Doo -

Just like any other child i had a favorite character, yes Fred was the leader and Shaggy was just the goofy guy that always seemed high and the girls were also in their own separate world. However the team constantly taught me as a kid to be aware of people. People are capable of doing more that we are willing to give credit for when it comes to deception. I believe this in some way resulted into the person I am, an open book and a person who rarely trusts anyone, but most of all-I cannot pretend at anything.

 Hey Arnold -

Good character always pays off. Arnold was such a sweet kid to everyone. Watching him on telly taught me to be a good person at all times, even when it was the hardest. The way he was nice to Helga, only God knows how he was able to put up with that. It was a good lesson that I learned at such a young age,to always be kind regardless of my first impressions of people.To be honest this is still hard to do at the age of 24 as, my face cannot pretend, it is authentic in its expressions of how i feel.

 Johnny Test - it is possible to put differences aside and work together for the greater good.

  Phineas and Ferb-
 Never stop dreaming, always think outside the box, if it crossed my mind- I can do it. To always believe in myself. I might have thought too much into it but I'm glad I did.



It is really amazing how we learn so much from little things that we do not even pay attention to. Share in the comment section, what have you learned?
