[Financial News] A kindergarten banner put up for children is giving busy adults a warm moment of comfort.
A photo of a kindergarten banner was recently posted on social media.
The poster, identified only as Person A, uploaded a photo of the banner, saying, "I was on my way to work when I saw this posted at a kindergarten."
The banner hanging in front of a yellow building featured a message of encouragement for children in colorful lettering.
The banner read, "The world is a fun place. We were not born to defeat others or be defeated by them. We came to enjoy life to the fullest within our own share." The passage comes from Han Sang-bok’s book “Jaemi” and conveys the idea that it is important to enjoy the life one has been given rather than compete with others.
Many adults leading busy lives said they found comfort in the banner displayed for the children.
People who saw the photo responded, "We actually learned all the truly important values in life when we were in kindergarten. But as we grow older, we live by too easily forgetting those precious values that should form the foundation of our lives," "Messages like that always touch my heart," "The director has a wonderful outlook," "This is so moving," and "It is truly something to be grateful for when children are taught to have that kind of grateful heart."
