I am totally copying this from someone else

I read this on a blog the other day, and I am totally going to copy it here. I also would like to update everyone that we played Candy Land again on Monday night. Guess what??? Not only did we finish the game, but I also won.

Here is the post I am copying:

All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Candy Land:

~ Going backwards is hard. Really hard. Often times it involves weeping.

~ You can’t predict your future.

~ Taking turns isn’t just polite, it makes things work.

~ Even a cupcake can be disappointing.

~ Sometimes your path is winding, long, and unpredictable, and sometimes it’s filled with shortcuts and sugar-coating.

~ A life filled with color is much better than black and white.

~ Competition is reality; learn to play the game early.

~ Your integrity is constantly being watched.

~ No matter what adults may tell you, everybody doesn’t win.

~ Taking defeat well takes practice.

~ Celebrating someone else’s victory is much more fulfilling than wallowing in your own defeat.

~ The faster you clean your mess, the quicker you are on your way to enjoying the next thing.

However, I couldn't agree with her more.
