Let me guess. There are only two reasons why you are reading this post. One is, because you are a fan of Mr. Bean. The other is, because you are not a fan of him. Was that a useless statement? That is way better than hearing what he had been saying a lot from his TV series like “helloes” or “Tey-dey” (Teddy).

 

Some quick trivia about Mr. Bean, did you know that Mr. Beans’ first name was never revealed? So is Beans’ arch-enemies identityand the blue car. We can get some real life lessons from his funny moments.

 

Remember the episode wherein he doesn’t want the food in a restaurant? He tried very hard to dispose this and ended up being given another one. In life, do whatever you want as long as you know the limits. There is a big difference in being shy and being stupid. If you are the customer, you must practice your rights. Remember, having an enemy is always a good sign. It means that you stood up for something you believe in.

 

How about Mr. Beans’ child like acts like the one where he played with the Christmas display in the mall? It is not recommended to do so but, remember, it is not good to be serious always. You need to release your feelings. Express your emotions! Find whatever that makes you happy and do it. That way, you will enjoy what you do and be successful in it. If you keep everything to yourself, you might explode and go bean crazy.

Mr. Beans’ vacation also showed us confidence. Traveling around an unfamiliar territory with a compass? That would take a lot of guts. In life, you will face situations out of your comfort zone. There are only two choices, it is either to face it or run away from it. Remember, without those challenges, you would not grow as a person.

 

Not all can be learned in school. School teaches you the basics and it is up to you to steer the steering wheel. I am not saying that education is useless. What I am saying here is, education needs to be mixed with real life experiences. Have you watched the one where Bean wanted to donate money to a beggar? He checked out his pocket and saw he was out of coins. What he did was, he placed his handkerchief on the floor and danced away. People gave him money and he in turn, gave the money to the beggar. In life, you need common sense for survival.

 

Last but not the least; you do not need to exert lots of effort to make people happy. Just be yourself. People who pretend to impress often get caught in a situation where he gets tired of pretending and everything will fall. You always hear that in first dates, you should put your best foot forward. Bean says otherwise. He gave Irma Gobb a poster as a Christmas gift. She was irked a little, but Irma still loved him anyway. In love, you don’t need to pretend to each other to love each other. That won’t be successful.

 

Just be yourself, be creative and resourceful, improve your confidence and stand up for what you believe in. This is the way to live life to the fullest. Some things are better done in private. I am sure you would agree. So, can you do the bean dance in public?
