Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Financial Markets I Learned In Kindergarten

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Any of this sound familiar?

• 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.
