"These things are fun and fun is good." That's my favorite Suess quote--I think it's from One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Loved your post!

“These things are fun and fun is good.” That’s my favorite Suess quote–I think it’s from One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.

The message of "Oobleck" is that mistakes get made - but you need to OWN UP TO THEM. One that HR and lots of people (like managers and supervisors) seem to forget. Loved this post!

My favorite Dr. Seuss book (besides Green Eggs and Ham) is Oh The Places You'll Go. I received it as a gift when I graduated and I treasure it. It's a children's book, but there is a whole other message in it when you're an adult. I've continued my friend's tradition and now, when one of my friends achieves a milestone, I give it to them.

My wife has one in her office that says "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - I keep trying to get my kids to understand that one! Love the creativity, Trish!
