Kindergarten
A nice phrase I would like to share with you
"Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do
and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of
the graduate mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school
These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life.
Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.
Or if we had a basic policy in our nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is better to hold hands and stick together..."
-Robert Fulghum in All I Ever Really Needed To Know I Learned in
Kindergarten, 1986, Random House.
