10 Things That Sheldon Taught Us About Life Which Are Better Than Any Philosophy

Sheldon Cooper is one of the most loved TV personalities. If you watch Big Bang Theory, then you would admit that much of the show’s humor and glamor exist because of him. Sheldon might come across as a geek, who is only into science but often he teaches us some important things about life.

Here are few times when Sheldon gave us a fresh and interesting view of our lives.
 

1. Always have Self Confidence

One of the most important things he teaches us is self-confidence.Every person is different and one must accept that.
He is often teased and mocked because of his idiosyncrasies but he never gets bowed down because of it. He knows he is not insane and therefore he not worried about what others think of him.
 

2. Always be Persistence

One common flaw in most of us is that we lack persistence. We might often give up. But not Sheldon. If he is determined to get something done he most usually does.
No matter how much people think his idea is insane, Sheldon knows that with physics by his side he can achieve whatever he wants.
 

3. Always be Curious

Sheldon is always curious. That is something we all should learn from him. If he does not know something then he would just ask. He does not feel ashamed to ask what he doesn’t know.
For example, when heard about “friends with benefits,” he inquires it and tries to understand the concept.
 

4. Always remember about the Schrodinger’s Cat

If you are confused about something then always remember about Sheldon’s example of the Schrodinger’s cat.
Penny is told that her date could be considered to be a superposition of two mutually contradictory states (good and bad) until the box is opened, giving her incentive to proceed.
 

5. His views on sex

Sheldon Cooper has time and again showed us how sex operates in a society. He gives a logical explanation how sex is inferior even to something like a video game. While choosing between Halo 3 and sex. But at the same time, he also makes this observation that sex works better than chocolates.
 

6. Always have something that can calm you down

Most of us often get angry and upset. When we go through such a phase we are not sure what would calm us and thus we cannot control our rage. But don’t worry Sheldon has a solution for this problem too.
According to him, nothing can calm us better than chamomile tea. It’s Sheldon’s life essence. When he turns into his sinister and sour self, this nectar of the gods will get him back to tip-top shape with a few licks of his tongue.
 

7. Be Honest and blunt

Sheldon teaches us that we should always be honest and blunt. It might hurt someone’s feelings temporarily but in the long run, it always helps them and gradually they would also accept it.
Sheldon sees no use in hiding behind lies and therefore avoids to speak any lie.
 

8.  His amazing take on love

Sheldon’s view on love is not only hilarious but also logical. For Sheldon, does not believe that one cannot live without love rather he believes that Oxygen is more important.
 

9. Know your Strengths and Weakness. Just like Sheldon

One should always one know one’s strength and weakness. While Sheldon Knows that Physics and Science are his strengths at the same time he also knows that areas like sports and driving are his weakness.

He is open to admitting that he’s not a stellar sportsman and he doesn’t have the best ear for sarcasm. Identifying our weaknesses doesn’t mean we can’t transform them; knowing what they are can help us accept or alter them.
 

10. Dream Big

One of the most important aspects of Sheldon is that he dreams big. No matter how impractical the thing might be, he always dreams big. With the help of Physics, he seeks to create things that most people describe as impractical.

It is his this attitude towards life that has made him one of our most loved characters.
