Life Lessons from "The X-Files"

Back when the series was on the air, did you mom used to roll her eyes when you sat up late watching The X-Files? Now that you're older and more mature, does you mom still roll her eyes when you talk about The X-Files?

If that's the case, then Emily Golinko, a writer at Daily Lobo, has just the thing for you--a list of life lessons that can be learned by watching Mulder and Scully:

"Always be yourself: Fox Mulder was ostracized, poked fun at, shot at, bullied, led on wild goose chases and was even fired multiple times from his job. But he never strayed from himself, his character or his search for truth."

"Find your counterpart: Mulder was the conspiracy theorist, the free thinker, the crazy one. Scully, his partner, was a doctor, a scientist and rational thinker. But despite their differences, they complimented each other perfectly, playing off of each other’s strengths and weaknesses." (Trust No 1 anybody?)

"The truth shall set you free: This is probably the most important lesson you can take away from “The X-Files.” Never stop searching for the truth."

Head over to the article for more crucial life lessons, so that next time mom rolls her yes, you can say "Look mom, I learned something important from all those years of X-Files!" But she'll probably still roll her eyes anyway...
