All The Things I Really Needed To Know I Learned In Kindergarten
http://hawaiianlanguage.com/l-kindergarten.html

- 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 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 some every day.
- Take a nap every afternoon.
- When you go out into the world,
watch 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 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.
- Think what a better world it would be if we all -
the whole world -
had cookies and milk at three o'clock in the afternoon and lay down with our blankets for a nap...
- Or if all the governments had a basic policy
to always put things back where they found them
and to clean up their own mess.
- And it still holds true,
no matter how old you are,
when you go out into the world,
it is best to hold hands and stick together.
~ Robert Fulghum
