All I Really Need to KNow I learned i Kindergarten

Hi everyone.

This is a poem that I read just about every day and really does help me deal with my everyday life...

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.

Thanks everyone for you continued support.

I bot a framed poster for my daughters room - and read to them all the time... The poem.

I typed it myself.

Robert Fulghum has written a number of books, the titles I've read are

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It
and
Uh-Oh: Some Observations from Both Sides of the Refrigerator Door

There are a number of others; I found these above very clever and gently amusing.
