Things We Can Learn From Mission: Impossible

As all good Honorary Impossible Missions Force agents know, Classic Mission Impossible showed the team going on adventures to exotic lands, meeting interesting people (both good and evil), and coming up with ingenious (and sometimes downright insane) plans to keep the world safe.
The series gave us a lot of life lessons. Now to be honest, some of these lessons may not work in the real world (but wouldn't it be great if they DID?), so I thought it would be fun to compare what little bits and pieces of wisdom each of us picked up from watching the series.
