Five Important Life Lessons I Learned from Julie Andrews

Christopher Plummer once said that working with Julie Andrews was like getting hit over the head with a valentine.

I couldn't agree more. I love her feisty confidence and all around optimistic view of the world.

And because this is a top five list, here are the top five important life lessons I learned from Julie Andrews.

#1. When you're sad, the best thing to do is to have a good cry and then wait for the sun to come out, it always does.

 

#2. A spoon full of sugar really does help the medicine go down, especially if medicine is another rejection and the sugar is a pan of brownies followed by a whiskey.

#3. NEVER let a man have the last word in an argument! 

#4. Every sticky situation can be eased with a song.

#5. When in doubt, start an impromptu dance number.

 

BONUS!

Confidence will take you far in life, no matter how silly your hat looks.
