I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be
. . . I learned in kindergarten.
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
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in 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."
-Robert
Fulghum
