George Pointon, a teacher in the UK, is always interested in what his 6-year-old students have to say about topics that are typically considered suitable for grown-ups. We previously reported how he asked his first graders what they would do as president of the world and how they'd come up with some surprisingly insightful answers. Similarly, over the past few months, Pointon has shared with Twitter his students' best jokes, what they consider to be the best thing that's ever happened to them, the one thing they believe one needs to be an adult, and whatever the youngsters wanted to get off their chest. Their deceptively simple yet insightful answers always hold some valuable observations that even we adults could learn a thing or two from.

This week, Pointon asked his students to come up with a mantra that would help us all get through life and their young, smart minds did not disappoint. Here's what they came up with:

Concluding his Twitter thread, Pointon stated that while all his students' responses were incredible in their own right, the quote of the week came from 5-year-old Maisie who said: "One of my legs is shorter than the other. So, I see the world a bit sideways." Speaking to Bored Panda about his popular Twitter series, Pointon said: "I love doing [the threads] and if I didn't, I would stop. The editing can often be a tedious process but overall I love doing them and it amazes me [that] people actually enjoy them too. It's a combination of things. Sometimes I ask my followers what they want. Sometimes I do them myself. It's more about how I'm feeling at the time. I like to engage the followers I have and include them in the process."
