from Ann Landers' column
This is from a reader of Ann Landers
who wanted to share what she has learned from age 16 through 80.
|
At age 16, I learned that mothers always know best, and sometimes fathers know best, too. |
|
At age 20, I learned that crime doesn't pay, even if it is done well. |
|
At age 25, I learned that a new baby keeps the mother from having an eight-hour day and the father from having an eight-hour night. |
|
At age 30, I learned that strength is the charm of a man and charm is the strength of a woman. |
|
At age 35, I learned that the future is not what you inherit but what you create. |
|
At age 40, I learned that the secret of happy living is not to do what you LIKE but to like what you do. |
|
At age 45, I learned that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it. |
|
At age 50, I learned that a dog is man's best friend and man's dogma can be his worst enemy. |
|
At age 55, I learned that little decisions should be made with my head and big decisions with my heart. |
|
At age 60, I learned that you can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. |
|
At age 65, I learned that to enjoy a long life, one should eat what he wants after he has eaten what he should. |
|
At age 70, I learned that life is not a matter of holding good cards but playing a poor hand well. |
|
At age 75, I learned that as long as you think you are green, you will continue to grow, and as soon as you think you are ripe, you are rotten. |
|
At age 80, I learned that to love and be loved is the greatest joy in the world. |
