Homer Simpson is a symbol of the working class citizen. He's overweight, lazy, and ignorant, but his quotes are brilliant and inspirational. Here are 25 lessons that can guide you to a successful career, all thanks to quotes by Homer Jay Simpson:
1. Take your work very seriously.
Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.
2. Hard work = Good work.
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
3. Further your education.
Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
4. Shifting job responsibilities is crucial to career development.
Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
5. Work-life balance is very important.
Homer: Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems.
6. Always have a methodology.
Homer: From now on, there are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way.
Bart: Isn't that just the wrong way?
Homer: Yeah, but faster!
7. Be resourceful. It's not what you know, it's knowing where to find it.
Homer: What's a wedding? Webster's dictionary describes it as the act of removing weeds from one's garden.
8. Provide unique perspectives.
Lisa: Do we have any food that wasn't brutally slaughtered?
Homer: Well, I think the veal died of loneliness.
9. Always have goals.
Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.
10. Respect all educational backgrounds.
Lisa: Oh, if I fail I won't even be able to get into Vassar.
Homer: I've had just about enough of your Vassar-bashing, young lady.
11. Make the best of bad situations.
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
12. Know what you want.
Homer: I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals flaming.
