If you haven´t yet seen the new movie about Curious George, and you´re a Curious George fan, I highly encourage you to go. It is the most delightful children´s movie I´ve seen in a long time, has a great soundtrack, and more than its fair share of cute.

There is a lot to be learned from George. In fact, I´m guessing that if he could talk, he would provide us with some of his suggestions for a happy life:

• Above all else, be curious at to how things work. Don´t assume you know.
• When in trouble, smile and snuggle the offended party. It usually softens their mood.
• If there´s a way to make something fun, by all means do so.
• Never pass up the chance to look at life from a new perspective.
• Be kind to all beings. You never know when you might need a hand.
• Take pleasure in the small things: bananas, balloons, a big yellow hat, and a job well done.
