I Learned It All In Kindergarten
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 right 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.
Flush. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt
somebody… Learn some and think some, and draw and paint and sing and dance and
play and work every day some…
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold
hands and stick together…
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.”
-Robert Fulghum
Many of you may have read this before but it is worth
reading again, I’m sure you agree. We as NAIFA members and advocates for our
clients and their families must stick together in what we believe and practice
every day. We must work together to promote the highest of ideals in our
wonderful industry. Take time to thank a NAIFA volunteer – they are working for
you and your clients. Keep paying your dues – consider them profession
insurance. Offer to participate in your local association by attending
meetings, providing input, and or hold an office on your board. And most of all
hold hands and have fun helping people.
May God bless your work!
