15 Reasons Mr. Rogers was the best neighbor ever!
Every once in a while back in the day I would watch Mr. Rogers, it was a great show, he would show how things are built and was an all around nice guy, I always thought the little trolley train was kind of cool too. A few years ago I barrowed a Mr. Rogers quote book from my Mom, I haven’t returned it yet because it is so dang good, and I don’t think she realizes it’s missing (if you read this mom and you want the Mr. Rogers quote book back, just let me know). Turns out Mr. Rogers isn’t just some crazy guy who wore DI sweaters and talked to trains and little muppets; this quote book is full of great tips and wisdom from a well educated Ph. D. Be sure to check out Mr. Rogers quote book.
One interesting tid bit I liked from the above article about Mr. Rogers is that he didn’t like what was on TV, so he decided to attack it head on. He made his own show that had content that he liked and thought TV should have. I would like to be more like this, when there is something we don’t like, we can’t just ignore it and be passive, we can learn from Mr. Rogers and be actively engaged in doing good, going out there and fighting for what we believe in, not just ignoring things that we don’t like. Like Edmund Burke said, “All that is required for evil to win is for good men to do nothing.” So whatever cause it is that you believe in, or are willing to fight for, be a Mr. Rogers, be an active participant in fighting for what you believe in. Be the change you hope to see in the world.
