What We Can Still Learn From Sesame Street

When we were kids, the letter and number of the day taught us the basics. But I think there are some things we can learn from Sesame Street regardless of our age.

Or even if we already know these things, being reminded of them isn't a bad thing either.

What can we learn from each Sesame Street character?

Elmo:
Life is short... have fun! And anyone can be your friend if you look at life - and other people - the right way.

Big Bird:
Loyalty and trustworthiness are everything. Keep your word, and keep your friends, and everything will be okay.

Bert & Ernie:
Sometimes it's the little things that can bring us the most joy. Whether it's a paper clip collection, a single pigeon, or a rubber duck, look for the beauty in everything around you, and use it for good.

The Count:
There are lots of things in life worth counting: Blessings, friends, sunsets. And there are some that aren't worth counting either: past hurts, regrets. You know the drill. Focus on what matters at the end of the day.

Oscar the Grouch:
Clean your room! An organized home - and mind - make for a happier spirit and more productive you.

Cookie Monster:
After you've done all you can to cover your needs and take care of your fellow man, it's okay to splurge on yourself every once in a while. Especially when it comes to cookies. After all, you can't take it with you.

Grover:
Don't let your fears get the best of you. Always go the extra mile when it truly matters in life, and never recoil from life's challenges. You can do it!

Are there any that I haven't thought of? Which character & lesson would make your list? Please share your comments below...
