"What I've Learned" from the Mind of Andy Rooney

I've learned..... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. 

I've learned.... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day. 

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 I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away. 

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 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 who are smarter than I am. 

I've learned.... That life is tough, but I'm tougher. 

I've learned.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere. 

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 opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. 

And…I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right.
