Hey you guys-

Nice to be back again, I haven't been around for a couple of weeks or so... thank you all for the beautiful lessons posted. They really made me feel better cause I've been rather depressed lately. (why, I don't know... :o)) But they surely have brightened my day. Thank you all. :o)

I really like this one too, its by Robert Fulgham.


All 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-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday 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.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.

Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup -- they all die. So do we.

And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned -- the biggest word of all -- LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take anyone of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world -- had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

I like that, thats nice. Have you heard that song "Dont forget your Sunscreen"? Its a little like this one, I can read something like this and get something out of it.

So if someone dislikes you its usually because they want to be just like you?

1. At least 5 people in this world, love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you, in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be just like you. No kidding! I know some of those people.

4. A smile from you, can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. Without you, someone may not be living.

9. You are special and unique, in your own way.

10. Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.

11. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good
comes from it.

12. When you think the world has turned it's back on you,
take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.

13. When you think you have no chance at getting what you
want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in
yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.

14. Always remember complements you received, forget about
the rude remarks.

15. Always tell someone how you feel about them, you will
feel much better when they know.

16. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them
know that they are great.

peace and love
