1. All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (Robert Fulghum) ESCOLA MARE DE DÉU DE MONTSERRAT , SÚRIA

2. 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 sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned:

3. Share everything

4. Play fair

5. Don't hit people

6. Put things back where you found them

7. Clean up your own mess

8. Don't take things that aren't yours

9. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody

10. Wash your hands before you eat

11. Flush

12. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you

13. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.

14. Take a nap every afternoon

15. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together

16. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

17. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we.

18. And then remember the biggest word of all: LOOK . Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
