Modern Family is one of the wittiest, funniest and most amusing sitcoms being aired in present times. An amalgamation of colorful personalities and tongue-in-cheek humor, it never ceases to cheer me up. But what one must honestly take away from every episode is -Phil’s unique take on life’s umpteen tests. So here are 6 of Phil’s best lines, which I hope will teach you something new. Take them as one lesson for every day of the week (Uh, Sunday is always a holiday :D)
1. ‘PERSPECTIVE’
True that! When you feel depressed by all that you don’t have or all that you didn’t get….remember Phil’s classic retort. Especially when you feel sooo hungry that you could probably eat The Hulk…and sadly, there is no food in sight…or yet even more tragic…when you have no cash in sight :’(
2. ‘READ BETWEEN THE LINES’
2. ‘READ BETWEEN THE LINES’
Yes, we women do that. And yes, at times, it is one of our ‘not-so-subtle’ moves. But that is only because we would love for you to realize (on your on..mind it!) that it IS our way or the highway. So to all the men out there..listen to us as carefully as Phil does, and the world will be a happy place to live in.
3. ‘BREATHE. THINK. REPEAT!’
3. ‘BREATHE. THINK. REPEAT!’
Hmm…been there, done that.
We have all had those ‘moments’ where we have made some spectacularly catastrophic decisions….that in retrospection…makes us just wanna go * facepalm *(Oh don’t you lie!!). Phil you ain’t alone :’(
Hence, next time when you are under pressure…
“Breathe. Think. Repeat!”
4. 'TRY SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE'

4. 'TRY SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE'
When life gives you
lemonade….wait, what?
If you do manage to
decode this bit of Phil’s
teachings…go ahead & try
that out why don’t you?
And if you are
successful…do a happy jig to
see “life be all like: What!?”
instead of you, for a change.
5. 'PAT, PAT!'

5. 'PAT, PAT!'
The world is a very harsh place to live in & every day, you go through numerous ups & downs. To keep yourself from embracing melancholy, indulge in what Phil does : self praise! Give yourself a proverbial ‘pat-on-the-back’ once in a while, without becoming pompous. (If you want to try out what Phil did in the above picture, do go ahead. How healthy that will be for your relationship though, still remains under scrutiny :P )
6. ‘DON’T PANIC !!’
6. ‘DON’T PANIC !!’
Don’t panic.
Don’t panic.
DON’T PANIC !!
Whenever pandemonium breaks out, please refrain from spinning completely out of control. Deep breath IN. Deep breath OUT. ( Do refer to lesson no. 3!)
Unless you are on an airplane, surrounded by ten crying children.
RUN! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
