Yoda is one of the most popular movie characters. In fact, this small but terrible Jedi is at the greatest movie character of all time list of Empire magazine in which he places 25th. As a testament to his popularity, there are many people buying Yoda merchandises such as a Yoda action figure, Yoda shirts, Yoda Accessories, Toddler Yoda Costume, and more. Some people like Yoda so much that some parents that like him dress their little ones with a Toddler Yoda Costume so the toddler can be their little Yoda.
However, we are not here to discuss Yoda’s popularity. Sure, he is popular because he is a very powerful Jedi that defeated many Sith lords and trained many Padawans that later became great Jedis. However, there is one more trait of Yoda that makes him very popular. This trait is his wisdom. Because of his old age, Yoda is very wise. Although at first his sayings don’t make any sense, if you ponder on them they are really meaningful sayings.
Here are 3 of the many words of wisdom from Yoda with their applications in the real world:
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
This is probably one of the most famous Yoda quote. This quote says that there are only 2 decision in doing something; either you will do it, or not. You should not try, for there is no “in between” in doing something. When you are indecisive, people may be hurt when they are expecting something from you but you did not do it. If you really can’t do it, just say no. Never try, just do.
Luke: I can’t believe it.
Yoda: That is why you fail.
This is a very meaningful conversation between Luke and Yoda. Rather than “seeing before believing”, you should “believe before seeing”. This can be faith, like faith in God, other persons, and many more. However, this can also be applied to success rather than just to faith. You will fail if you do not believe that you will succeed. By believing at it, it will happen. Believe, even without seeing it happen yet.
But when the day comes that even old Yoda does not learn something from his students-then truly, he shall be a teacher no more.
No matter how smart you are, there is always someone else smarter than you. And you can learn something from anyone, even if you are smarter than them. A Student will learn from his master, and the master may learn something from his teacher. Even from unexpected sources, we can learn something. When we are dead, it is only where we are gonna stop learning.
As you can see, Yoda is popular not only because of green lightsabers, Yoda plushies, or a Toddler Yoda Costume but also because of his sayings. His quotes are very meaningful and can really help us in our lives. And remember, if these quotes inspired you, they are just the tip on the iceberg.
