http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/03/lessons-childrens-books_n_4690258.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009Our very favorite children's books left an irreversible impression on our childhoods and on our lives. Some of our most cherished storybook characters are so real and palpable in our memory that it feels as if we were introduced to them yesterday. Beyond being gloriously entertaining though, the very best children's books also helped us understand the world around us. Over the years, they shaped our imaginations, our aspirations and our sense of right and wrong. Here are some of the most important lessons we learned from our favorite children's books:
***
2. Always help those less powerful than yourself.
****
4. You can only truly be sure of what you feel in your heart.
5. Don't suppress your individuality for the sake of conformity.
6. We give our lives meaning by helping others.
7. Never allow anybody to impose limitations on your own abilities.
8. Knowledge is the most powerful weapon.
