Written by Andy Rooney

January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011, a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words.

I've learned ... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. I've learned ..... That when you're in love, it shows. I've learned ... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day. I've learned .... That having a child or a dog fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. I've learned ... That being kind is more important than being right. I've learned .... That you should never say no to a gift from a child. I've learned .... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way. I've learned ... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. I've learned ... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand. 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. I've learned ... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. I've learned ... That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for. I've learned .... That money doesn't buy class. I've learned ... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. I've learned ... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. I've learned ..... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts. I've learned .... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you. I've learned .... That love, not time, heals all wounds. I've learned .... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am. I've learned ... That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile. I've learned .... That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them. I've learned! .. That life is tough, but I'm tougher. I've learned ... That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. I've learned ... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere. I've learned ... That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away. I've learned ... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them. I've learned ... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. I've learned .... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life. 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. I've learned ... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Love changes everything

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old. This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!!

I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Change the way you think.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree..

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. Release your children when they become adults, its their life now.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye

16. Take a deep breath It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22 Just because you believe you are right, doesn't mean you are. Keep an open mind..

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. Your job is to love your children, not choose who they should love.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield..

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
