ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVE
\nby Andy Rooney\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That when you’re in love, it shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day!’ makes my day.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That being kind is more important than being right.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That you should never say no to a gift from a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That money doesn’t buy class.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned… That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That love, not time, heals all wounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned… That life is tough, but I’m tougher.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

smiles,<\/span>
