The mechanics of Life are
really simple according to this inspirational gem. Besides playing fair and having a balanced
life, he also discussed the value of afternoon naps, the good in warm cookies and cold milk and suggested the best chicken-and-gravy pitstops. He is not afraid to give his two-cents'' worth, however unconventional. He refuses to rake the leaves off his lawn as an experiment in letting Life live - causing an unending battle of arguments with his wife, his neat-freak neighbor and a deaf-mute child. Mother Theresa, he described, drives him crazy. He challenges existing beliefs to see if he can make something out of them: dust turns out to be cosmic compost of you and the universe, and he adores his ex-barber and the Haiho Lama in his shoe cobbler. He has
managed to turn the mundane into something that can teach us and calls for returning to the basics.
Fulghum used language that is very simple to understand albeit discussions on heavier topics in Philosophy and Religion. You''d occassionally find yourself laughing at some entries and awed at the facts that he has managed to fit and tie into his point. Find yourself a copy now. This collection of advices, stories and sometimes ramblings of Fulghum maybe just what you need to set your focus better on how you see
things and Life in general...
Better yet, "get found already, kid!!!"
