I was fortunate enough to be born into a hardworking and loving family - my dad was self employed and had worked night shifts all his life and ran a business too.

When I started to work for my dad, I was impressed with the car that was a perk and quite enjoyed thinking I was the bosses daughter and he gave me some advice. It went like this.

'On the way up the ladder - be careful who's fingers you tread on. Because no matter what, there will come a day when you begin to fall down that ladder. You're going to need every friend to help catch you fall.

Believe what you will, until experience changes your mind... Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too.

The wise learn many great things from their enemies.

"All I Ever Really Needed to Know
I Learned in Kindergarten"
by Robert Fulgham

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..

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 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 into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
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.

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

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane 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 sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Every action has a reaction.

Don't hate the player hate the game cause the player who plays always gets played.

Everything happens for a reason.

You live by the sword you die by the sword.

I'd pass on something along the lines of "Fight for what you believe in."
