Squidward Tentacles 

The most inspiring cartoon character on television.

Why? Because Squidward never gives up on his dreams.

No matter how many times Spongebob ruins his day, he still continues to strive for a better one.

No matter how many times he fails at clarinet, he continues to play and try to get better so that he can one day become famous for it.

No matter how many rotten tomatoes get thrown at him because he is a horrible dancer, he continues to dance and shoot for the stars.

No matter how many times his arch enemy with the unibrow tells him he’s worthless, he continues to climb back up and try to impress him.

No matter how many paintings are rejected and unliked by people, he continues to paint because he believes he is a great artist.

That, my dear children, is dedication. I think we could all learn a little bit from good old Squidward Tentacles.

He has self confidence and never gives up on his dreams, which is something we can all learn from.

Squidward J. Q. Tentacles 

Squidward's personality is grumpy, hot-tempered, selfish, nasty, unfriendly, and of course, miserable. In spite of this, he is still one of the most intelligent characters, and out of the ten major characters, he can be categorized as the most educated one, along with Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence), Plankton (Douglas Lawrence), and Gary the Snail. He has a sarcastic attitude and sees others as uncivilized morons, while failing to accept his own personal shortcomings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his failures.
