8. Sticking Together Through Thick And Thin - Toy Story Trilogy

Andy 'Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart.

What it teaches: There are two ways of becoming special to someone €“ being a cowboy or sticking close through the thick and thin.

7. Now Is What Is Yours - Edna

Edna1 'I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.' €“ Edna, The Incredibles. What it teaches: About as literal as it gets, what Edna means is that casting guilty sneak-peeks into the past often diverts us from what is happening right now. It's a digression that life is often better off without. The past is immaterial in the present scheme of things and ruminating over it is about as pointless as looking at a rock with the intention of setting it alight through your vision.

I'm Saahil from India and no, I don't own an elephant. I write. I think P. G. Wodehouse might just be the greatest author of all times. Manhattan was definitely Woody Allen's masterpiece (yes, over Annie Hall). The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. I love debating. I've always dreamed of shooting zombies with a sawed-off during an apocalypse. I own a dog. The Sixth Sense was a fluke. Sheldon Cooper is probably the worst TV character right now. I play table tennis. I am socially awkward. I don't know how to end this. My editor's probably going to cream me for this. But, whatever.
