Hi

Singapore parents

 Below extract was written by Andy Rooney who has the gift of saying so much with so few words.  Enjoy…

 

       

 

“I’ve learned that:

• the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

• when you’re in love, it shows.

• just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my day!” makes my day.

• having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
   

• being kind is more important than being right.
   

• you should never say no to a gift from a child.
   

• I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.
  

• no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. (right on!)
   
• sometimes, all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
   
• simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.
   
• life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
   
• we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.
   
• money doesn’t buy class.
   
• it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
   
• under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
   
• to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
   
• when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
   
• love, not time, heals all wounds.
   
• the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
   
• everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.
   
• no one is perfect until you fall in love with them. (So true!)
   
• life is tough, but I’m tougher.
   
• opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
   
• when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
   
• I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.
   
• one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
   
• a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
   
• I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.
   
• when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.
   
• everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.
   
• the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.”
