Search - All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things by Robert Fulghum...

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 sandpile at Sunday School.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything
Play fair
Don't hit people
Put things backs 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
And much, much more!

A modern classic, and a phenomenal bestseller, this simple collection of thoughts and gentle opinion has struck a deep chord in readers all over the world. Observing our times in his unique way, Robert Fulghum has tapped into the community that we all share and tells us something about ourselves and how to be the best we are capable of. He reminds us to share, clean up our own mess, take a nap every afternoon, and to be aware of wonder.

Very thoughtful book on the things you learn as a young child carry throughout your lifetime. As I taught Kindergarten, it helped me as a teacher to have a better understanding of what I needed to be passing on to my students.

If you want to smile and even laugh outloud some of the time, this is the book to do it with.

Great Book! Great inspiring and funny outlook!

Humerous read by Fulghum about everyday events.

it is one of the best books i have read

A classic that everyone must read before they "grow up"

[from Publishers' Weekly via AMAZON] To criticize these random jottings, some of which have appeared in "Dear Abby" columns and Reader's Digest , is perhaps akin to suggesting that the American flag be used as a rag in a carwash. Fulghum, a retired Unitarian minister, does not express uncommon thoughts here: his thoughts are those we all wish were true. The book's tone is set by the title piece, in which the author sets out his credo, ranging from "share everything" to "hold hands and stick together." He goes on to relate stories of a courageous and loving Russian soldier and Mother Teresa.

Quick read of vignettes. Truly worth it.

Very insightful

funny and sometimes instructive

Fulghum makes life sounds so simple and so funny.

Fun to read - really hits home. Good book.

This is a great little book to carry in your purse and take out when you have a few minutes to smile.

Easy and quick to read. Like it says: "Uncommon thoughts on common things."

A light-hearted approach to life in general, but with some good philosphy and advice.
