What are good things to know early in life?
A good thing to know early in life is that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This realization usually happens as a child nears puberty or later depending on their environment and social situation (or if they are just crazy). It is when one sees this fact for themselves without having it spoon fed by others, though even then there can still be some skepticism.
I believe that all children should be taught about this fact no later than age ten before they are allowed to watch TV. This way, their minds will not be polluted by the media and liars who claim it is not true.
Another thing that children should know early in life is to stay away from strangers. Though this can be difficult to enforce, since it may mean isolating a child for much of their formative years.
It is also good to know that things will happen in life that you cannot control. You may be born into a life of poverty, or be disadvantaged by your race. Bad things can still happen even if you do everything right.
Knowing that the Earth revolves around the Sun means knowing that there are other ways to live and being aware of them. You may want to be an astronaut, or live in space, far away from people who bother you. With this knowledge, you can make your life meaningful.
Knowing that some things are out of your control means you will have to make the best of what you do have. You can still be happy, even if your life is not perfect.
