5 The Office Kevin Malone’s Quotes To Live By
This is your sign to sit back and relax a little.
It's not always easy to get through a life filled with sad events, bad weather, and mundane tasks that could easily become repetitive and boring. But this is exactly why we need TV shows. Good television not only offers an escape into a parallel universe but also suggests that you take something back to your personal life.
The Office is a perfect example of such a show. Filled with great characters, each with a different understanding of life and each suggesting different types of wisdom, the show leaves its viewers with something to think about when they turn off the TV.
One of the characters who is known for his positive outlook on life and could definitely be a reassuring companion you need to get through tough days is Kevin Malone. Here are 5 of his quotes to make you feel better.
“I do deserve a vacation. Sometimes Batman 's gotta take off his cape.”
Just repeat this after Kevin and hopefully, you will soon give in to this affirmation and make it happen in real life. Even the most important professionals or career-minded people deserve a break from time to time, so if you are feeling overworked and stressed, take this quote as a sign to fly off to the beach.
“I just want to lie on the beach and eat hot dogs. That's all I've ever wanted.”
Speaking of beaches, here's another quote from Kevin. If that's not the ideal picture of life, we don't know what is. Even if a vacation is not in the cards for you right now, maybe a little weekend getaway with good friends, a grill, and some hot dogs would make you feel a lot better.
“I have very little patience for stupidity.”
If there's one thing that's so common to anyone who works in close proximity to other people, it's stupidity all around. Whether it's intentional or just a real character flaw, it's usually impossible to ignore or not be annoyed by. Maybe Kevin's straightforward approach isn't the most polite, but it's honest.
“Nope it's not Ashton Kutcher, it's Kevin Malone. Equally handsome, equally smart.”
No matter how good you look, how smart you are, or how much power you wield with your presence, your most important tool for making an impression is confidence. If you cannot say all those kind words about yourself, you just need to know yourself a little better and allow yourself to shine. Kevin Malone, for example, does this flawlessly.
“I like knowing that there's going to be a break. Most days I just sit and wait for the break.”
Small breaks make us all much happier, so this is a great lesson in planning and scheduling things, even when it comes to your own workday. If you are in charge and can make these changes, try incorporating little 15-minute breaks into your tasks and see how much happier and more productive you will be in the long run.
