Book: Uncommon thoughts on common things
What does one do when life seems to be running in a series of monotonous patterns? Why, read All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten of course! This is one of those perfect books that helps you slow down your life’s pace and look at some simple and basic rules that can lead to happiness.
The author, Robert Fulghum, begins with what he learnt while playing in the sandbox in kindergarten as an example. He describes how in Kindergarten, kids are taught to share, clean up their own mess, hold hands while crossing roads and never hit other kids. If the same kind of attitude were to be adopted between adults or even between nations the world wouldn’t be in the mess it is in today. He even talks about those Dick and Jane books that we all read with pleasure when we were young, “And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and first word you learned-the biggest word of all—-LOOK”, to emphasize how as we grow to become adults we lose our curiosity and sense of wonder.
The book is full of simple everyday examples that can help us notice how lucky we are in life and how we should live with a greater appreciation of all we have.
