生命中不可錯過的智慧

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 back 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.

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 everyday some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world,

Watch out for traffic,

Hold hands and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.

那些不可錯過的

關于怎樣生活

應該做些什么和怎樣去做

我都是在上幼稚園時學到的。

智慧并不存在于

大學校園里那座象牙塔的頂端，

而是在幼稚園的沙堆上。

以下就是我在幼稚園學到的東西：

與人分享一切。

事事要公平。

不要欺負別人。

東西哪里拿的就放回哪里。

整理好自己弄亂的東西。

不要隨便拿走不屬于自己的東西。

傷害了別人要說對不起。

吃東西前要洗手。

害羞時會臉紅。

熱餅干和冰牛奶對你有好處。

生活要平衡——

每一天都要學習新東西，每一天都要動腦筋

畫畫，涂鴉，唱歌，跳舞

要懂得勞逸結合。

每天中午要小憩一會兒。

出門時

要小心車輛，

最好大家能手牽手一齊走。

因為這個世界是奇妙的。
