I think there is nothing more important than learning positive relationship skills, and that brings about acceptance, respect and unity, which in turn promotes peaace and harmony. Well said in your poem.

Exceptional

I totally agree with your sentiments. If we each make that effort to connect and share what we know - together we can make a difference. Look ahead and not at each other, making excuses or assigning blame. Success comes from taking the initiative.

Thanks, June, for the six stars and marvelous review. You make excellent points. We must not make excuses or place the blame on someone else but rather look ahead and not at each other.
I love your phrase, success comes from taking the initiative.
You are so right about that. Connecting and sharing what we know is the best way to help each other grow.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.

Isn't it so true when we have a common goal and humbly find our role and work as a team. I applaud how this takes on a serious nature and not just a poem to entertain, but teach.

A common goal is to find our goal and work as a team. Thank you for putting it so succinctly. To teach instead of entertain is how I roll.

Hi Jesse James,

A lovely philosophy, I must commend you. To teach is a calling, to pass on our experiences and wisdom gained from years of hardships, one's accomplishments help the young learn life's universal laws. Maybe they don't want to listen and maybe they can watch by example without words, but it's important either way. No guidance is really hard on posterity.

Love this well written and beautifully presented poem ... love dolphins :-)

All the best,
Senyai

I'm happy you liked the dolphins enjoying themselves in the ocean.
Thank you for your kind words.
Enjoy the day.

Another fine write, Jesse------and what's the old saying from the American Revolution? If we don't stick together, we shall certainly hang seperately" Not sure who said it, but might be Benjamin Franklin

You're welcome, Yvette. I feel positive on this subject and my optimism grows each day I teach another person. Uniting community is what it is about.

Your philosophy means you reach back and bring someone forward with you. If we discover something that is beneficial, healthy, or good, you pass that information on so others can reap the benefits also. Thank you for sharing this enlightening message.

In other words, paying it forward. Yes, this is another way of viewing our lives as we teach each other one person at a time.
Passing it on and paying it forward.

Jesse, This is a very good philosophy about each one teach one. We are supposed to love one another and share what we know that is true and faithful. May God bless you dear friend! Teri

How clever!
"Begin with the expression
each one teach one"
With a philosophy like that we are not only sharing knowledge, we are following tradition.
Nice one, Jesse!

Thanks, Dawn, for your supportive and encouraging review.
When you say, we are following tradition what do you mean?
Are you referring to old-style religion or American tradition?
Thanks for your kind words.
