Big lessons from little Kids

Hello there, here an article that is not from Gakkai. I find it interesting so i just have the impluse to share it with you all. Sometimes, it takes the "child" in you to do the great extra-ordinary things u dream yar. So, let us too, learn from kids at times, especially, in their convictions in their goals on what they want to be when they grow up. (Many a times, money wasn't even their considerations)


  1. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Even when there's not a prize in the bottom of the box
  2. Sometimes, it's best to be completely blunt with people, as you used to be with relatives who wanted you to do something embarrassing or tedious for a shiny quarter.
  3. Asking questions is how you figure things out . Lots and lots of questions.
  4. An older wiser Gordie Lanchance says in Stand by ME ," I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when i was young." Lanchance is right. The trick is to try to be the friend you were when you were young: fun-loving and loyal, with no string attached.
  5. Playing is work. Approach your downtime with all the seriousness of a 5-year-old with a secret treasure map.
  6. Real guys don't dip their toes in the water. They jump right in.
  7. You hated it when a grown-up told you,"We'll see." It's still unacceptable. Don't say it yourself.
  8. The only way to know how something works is to completely disassemble it.( This is still a good advice when takling a complex problem. Your plasma TV? Not so much)
  9. There's a reason they don't give credit cards to 8-year olds. You're supposed to save up money before you buy a new toy
  10. Your body was designed for throwing baseball, shooting hoops and jumping off diving boards and stuff. In the secret language of children, the word "fitness" doesn't exsit. It's called "having fun."
  11. Your world can be half-real and half-imaginary.
  12. Homework blows. Bring work home with you and it'll ruin your night. And you marriage. And your family. And your life.
  13. Too much of anything will give you a tummy ache. Like say, bourbon.
  14. The coolest adults were the ones who took the time to listen to you. You still want to grow up to be a cool adult right?
  15. Treasure Island, Dracula: The best books are consumed after dark with a flashlight. Where is your "reading spirit" right now??
  16. Use adrenaline as your drug of choice. You don't need beer, pot , cigarettes to have a good time.
  17. Seeing a thunderstorm roll in is better than watching HDTV. And rain isnt something to curse, but to enjoy. Hurry up, before it clears.

Let's all have an ever-youthful spirit in our lives. Just like kids, I will mantain my dreams and convictions in the goodness of the world. Sensei once says that the happiness in our world will depend on how loud is a kids' laughter. Let's all become the"coolest" MD and WD 20 yrs from now. Till then , we must formulate the elixir of "never ageing" right now in our youth!!
