「All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten」by Robert Fulghum

All 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 sand pile at 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 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. 

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

今天中午在蔡穎卿的部落格看到這篇文章  給了我很大的震撼及感動  很想跟大家分享

許多為人處世的知識道理在小時候就該培養建立

不要在乎在幼稚園裡應該要學到什麼學術知識

真正要學的應該是這些可愛簡單的道理  不是嗎

某天下午正要準備點心來吃  霏霏剛午睡醒來  看我在廚房忙說她也要幫忙

於是我讓她負責來做蟹肉玉米沙拉

跟霏說明了做沙拉的順序後  看她拔蟹肉絲的認真模樣  這沙拉肯定好吃

果然她自己做的  吃光光啦

生活即是教育  只要我們給小朋友機會  他們就會做得很好
