What would you do to make the world more positive?

When I was young, I thought I could change the world.  I was active in anti-war protests, pro-planet actions, ....and a lot of other social reform types of things. 
Then I moved over to the religious side and was a Jesus Freak.   I spent some time saving the world hosting a gospel radio show and helping print and distribute a monthly Christian newspaper.  Fun times!

Didn't save the world physically or spiritually.

Slowly it came to me that all anyone could really change was themselves.  I could work on me.   I will always be a work in progress.  That is good.  Keeps things interesting.

So what would I do to make the world a better place?  I found the perfect list:  All I really need to know about how to live I learned in kindergarten. 

• Share
• 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
• 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.
