"All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten"
My mind works in mysterious ways, but once in a while I know why I am off on a tangent. In this case, "coffeefan" wrote something in his blog that triggered something in my heart and mind, so I am running with the thought.

Many years ago I read the following poem on a kindergarten classroom door. Upon the first reading, it made a lasting impression and tugged on my heartstrings. I still feel the tug, but today I also have a wondering. Are kindergarteners today learning these most important lessons? Or, are the essential lessons being skipped over? I wonder, because it seems that many young adults today have not acquired these life skills that generations before them held.



"All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten"

by Robert Fulghum

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 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 everyday 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.
"Don't count the days, make the days count"

 Sounds like good advise but maybe it has to do with the time one grew up in!?
