Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons

Recommendations from a fellow bingo player on Black Book Bingo sponsored by B2KBINGO

Kermit the Frog

Kermit the Frog first rose to stardom during the early days of "Sesame Street" and went on to star in big screen features such as "The Muppet Movie." Now he is releasing his memoirs in a book called "Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons," a follow-up to his 1993 best-seller.

He also lays out some advice.

# Ask yourself important questions. Asking big questions is part of Kermit's dream identification system. He said people should ponder things like "Who am I? Where am I? How did I get here? Why is that pig approaching me with mistletoe?"

# When it comes to making friends, be flexible. "You have to be open to new things," he said.

# Get in touch with your inner tadpole. "Important stuff. It's good to stay in touch, otherwise you call up and have to dial star three to get through to him," Kermit said. "My tadpole is writing his own memoirs right now."

"My philosophy goes back to what my good friend Jim says. He said he wanted to leave the world a little better place than it was before he got here for him having been here and I think he did that," Kermit said. "That's something we can strive for. I'm trying."
