Remember what you learned in Kindergarten

Sep 23, 2013

Use the lessons that you learned in Kindergarten, because they are the most important lessons that you have ever 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.
  • 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 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.

I believe that this is a simple way of helping us all to get more traffic, if we share all of our knowledge, we will all prosper. As long as we play fair, and we don't hit anyone while we are working. Also we have to make sure that we put things back when we are done with them (otherwise where will you find it the next time that you need it?). Never take things that don't belong to you (without referencing it).

Also Look at what is and has worked in the past, and model what you are doing on that. Don't fall for the quick fixes!
