Sunday Building Blocks


Sunday Building Blocks

Remember the book “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum? If you haven’t read it, I suggest putting it on your list of books to read.

There are many lessons from kindergarten, elementary school, and even preschool that we would all do well to remember. One that comes to mind is an exercise primary teachers use to demonstrate that everyone in a person’s life is important.

Building blocks are labeled with “Mom”, “Dad”, “Sister”, “Brother”, “Best Friend”, etc. The labels can be anyone from family members to the mailman or next door neighbor. The students are instructed to build a tall, narrow tower with the blocks, placing a block with their own name written on it at the very top.

After the tower is completed, the pupils are asked “Which block can you remove, other than your own?” They quickly realize that every block is important, and without any one of them the tower will fall.

So today, consider all the building blocks in your life.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #68:  
“Remember the building blocks in life.”
