Some things to know

What’s something you believe everyone should know. – Rather presumptuous of me to project what everyone should know. Like I have a good grip on life (NOT). But what the hell. Here it goes.

Basics – Manors, hygiene, honesty, love, compassion.

Intermediate – Learning is lifelong. Love is hard and painful at times. Life is hard and painful at times. Unless you are in a very small percentage, you will have to work hard in your life to have a chance to succeed. Your body is a special thing, respect it. You only get one.

Advanced – Trust and respect are earned. You alone are in charge of how you feel. The richest people aren’t really the richest people in life. Live some of your life like there is no tomorrow, because one day there is no tomorrow. If you go outside today without an umbrella you’re going to get wet.

Oh yeah, if you eat too much Halloween candy tomorrow, you’re going to feel like crap on Saturday. But some of us will do it anyway. That’s the kid trying to come out in you.

Knowledge

What’s something you believe everyone should know? – Interesting question from the Daily Writing prompt.

I believe people should know history. Without that, we are doomed to repeat the bad parts.

Everyone should know and if not be taught respect. Seems to be in short supply nowadays.

The truth would be a nice start. That way people can make informed decisions. Knowing and getting to the truth takes work.

Exercise is good. Eating right is good. Learning is good.

Here’s something I didn’t know for a long time. — It’s Just a JOB.

The better quality of friends, the better quality of life.

Have some appreciation for your health and seeing the sun rise and set each day.

I could ramble on but I have to watch a grandchild today. It would be nice if everyone knew the joy in that.
