Nothing special happened today, so I'll update with something I read in English. :)
from 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 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. 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.
...Think what a better world it would be if we all-the whole world-had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had a basic policy to always put things back where you found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it's still true, no matter how old you are-when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
