ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN

(a guide for Global Leadership)

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 sand pile at 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 every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in 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 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 at about 3 o’clock in the 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 in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together!

Don’t waste it, it is very valuable and hard won!!! By not voting you forfeit any right to complain. You really need to be engaged, then if your selected candidate fails to meet your expectations, tell them loudly and often. This is the only way things will change. It will be slow going, tough as well, but remember the harder things are the more fight required nad the greater the reward in the long run.

Please vote you someone as close as possible to what you need in a president.

You know I’m right, Hey!!

PS How do you get a Troll?

GJ’s last blog post..What’s Happening to ME??????

Hmm. I guess the idea of badmouthing the chosen candidate who fail to fulfill his/her promise sounds tempting..
I’d be like, “I voted for you and you disappoint me! Asshooooooole!!” *throws pie and rotten eggs*

Actually, I think SBY is a good person but he needs to toughen up. Or shall I say, develop an iron-fist to eradicate corruption, which is the core of all the problems in this country.

Troll? I don’t know. Be nice, popular and humble, have people like you, then I’m sure a troll that doesn’t have what you have will come and willingly be your pet

i just want to see somebody (and the cabinets) who’d be able to stay neutral religion-wise. got the balls to disband a group of fanatic people who, in the name of their god (what a nice god) kills left and right with no remorse. i want to see somebody with a common sense and not okaying a law (Undang Undang) steered by a majority of a certain belief. heck, why not vote for an atheist?

Diny’s last blog post..Don’t You Wish Your Boyfriend/Husband Is Perfect Like This? Dream On!

Yes, with a dash of a Javanese accent I think you’d get it juuuuuuuuust right! LOL.

Electing an atheist? Works fine for me. Perfect, actually. But can you imagine the mayhem it will ensue to the rest – well, the majority – of the people in this country? LOL.

How ironic that for a supposedly religious country, there are so many conceited people driving this country into ruination, creating poverty, riots and demonstrations while all the while these people are busy creating rules that are concerning their crotches.

Look at how well-pleased the American electorate is because they’ve just had a record poll turnout. It would be great if that happened here, but where is the Obama to inspire such activism?

It’s worth bearing in mind that he used the internet to network his message, and he intends to ensure broadband access for all within his first term of office. He’ll also, from now be giving a weekly YouTube broadcast.

Is this something for Pesta Blogger to get involved with? Enda N. reportedly had c.320 signed up for his Indonesians for Obama site, so there is an online interest in political issues ~ or was it merely a matter of association with a celebrity?.

If there is just one candidate prepared to go down that ‘social’ route, one of transparency, then, Therry, you’ll find it difficult to give up your right to vote.

Thankfully, I don’t have one here.

Jakartass’s last blog post..

Broadband access for all? For real? That’s cool… we’ll just wait and see whether he actually keeps his words, among other things that he has promised.

I guess using the internet for politics has its advantage – it’s cheaper (no posters, billboards or crappy t-shirts with the photos of the candidates on your backs), faster, but only limited to those with internet access.

What makes me wonder is that why hasn’t the government used the internet as a way to get the polls done – wouldn’t it be quicker? Just set up a computer and tell people to fill in their details and click whichever candidate they fancy, instead of using the old paper and ‘coblos’ technique.

I’m still looking whether there’s any potential candidate that will change my mind on abstaining…

Mari kita banyak2 berdoa…
