All I Needed to Know I Learned in ... ???

I know I am going off on a tangent here, away from my destination of a Creationist's view of biotechnology

but I was thinking that there are many books and essays and teachings in the secular world that men use to guide their lives that either contain lessons similar to those in the Word or are directly or indirectly based on them. Three such books to me are:

All I Really Need To Know I Read  in These Books  it is the "secret "
and
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

Each has several key directives to focus on to make your life more relational, less anxious and guided by a purpose or destiny. Lets take a closer look at some of the directives from each book.

All You Really Need to Know

All I Really Need To Know secret is a book of  Rhonda Byrne , and book become so popular until it get in my hand,
The title explain itself what is book actually about i.e. lists lessons normally learned in everyday life and some secret of great people  they  explains how the world would be better if we all lived by the same rules; sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up after ourselves, and living "a balanced life" of work, play, and learning. The book contains over 50 short Lesson, reflecting on topics ranging from love,relationship,life,and social life

Here are a few of the points Rhonda Byrne

makes in his opening essay:
Live a balanced life
Clean up your own mess
Play fair
Share everything
Here are some  that direct us to a similar path:

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
- There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
- Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
- Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Clean up your own mess - Clean up after yourself.
- "And when he comes, he finds [his house] swept and put in order.
- Let all things be done decently and in order.
-  And the second [commandment] is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
In a subsequent blog we will look at the next book,
