“Fred McFeely Rogers was a shy, somewhat awkward, and sometimes bullied child growing up in the 1930s. After going to college for what he called his “first language”—music—he prepared to enter seminary and study for the ministry. But on a visit home for Easter, he saw television for the first time. He hated it—people on the program were throwing pies in each other’s faces, and Fred found that demeaning. Nonetheless, he sensed instantly television’s capacity for connection and enrichment. That moment changed his life—and the lives of millions of Americans.”
Today on The Morning Thing we shared seven lessons we can learn from Mister Rogers that can help us as Americans be better neighbors. It is National Good Neighbor Day and we found the lessons from Mister Rogers to be fitting celebrating a day like today.
You can read the full list of these life-changing lessons HERE.
We hope you find these lessons to be as impactful as we did.
