jari (Jari N Kinared):
Kun ma fuxina tanne taapersin,
en tiennyt mita sahko on
Meni innosta pieni paani sekaisin
laulukirja oli tarpeeton
Mulla Cavalet, nabla ja cos(phi)
oli oisinkin mielessain
Hetken taistelin, itkin, sitten ymmarsin
tassa jotakin on pielessa:
Arvonimi teekkari sovi sulle ei,
jos vain Maxwell aikasi vie!
Kylmaa kaljaa juo ja
nauti nuoruudestais!

lavin (Anne R LaVin):
...All 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 some every day 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. Remember the little seed in the
Styrofoam 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 Styrofoam cup -- they all die.
So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books 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 equality and
sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated
adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your
government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think
what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world -- had
cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down
with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic
policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up
their own mess.
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, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten"
