Most of the Things I Need to Know

I personally believe that most of the important, if not all of them — about how to live my life I learned in kindergarten not in graduate school mountain. These are some of the things I learned.

Share everything.

Don’t hit people.

Clean up your own mess.

Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Put things back where you found them.

Flush.

Take a power nap.

Live a balanced life… learn some and think some, color and draw some, sing and dance and pray and play and work every day some.

Fish in the aquarium, the white mice and even the little seed in the tin can… they all die. So do we.

When you go out into the world, watch out for cars, trucks, buses and jeepneys, hold hands and stick with each other.

Most of the things I need to learn is in there somewhere. The golden rule, love, rest and recreation and even basic sanitation. And it still holds true, up into my age right now — when I go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick with each other.

Remember, we’re in this journey together.
