People ages 5 - 95 share what they've discovered about life, love, and other good stuff.

It made me smile and laugh.

Initially I wished it had given attribution to the contributors. But I soon got over that. I spread the reading out over a few days so as to better absorb the good advice. This is a small, gift size book. Therefore it is a quick read. Most pages have four sentences. Calling it a “self-help” book is kind of a misnomer, but that’s where I decided to shelve it.

Ones from children were often humorous.

I’ve learned that the older people shared the most meaningful lessons. Age 70 , 80 & 90 were the best.

I started my own list of “I’ve learned...” (The above “I’ve learned” is #5 on my list.) ( )

People ages 5 - 95 share what they've discovered about life, love, and other good stuff. Quick and pithy words to live by. ( )

A breezy little read. Some of the quotes are pretty clever. A couple of my favorites:

"I've learned there's no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs."

"I've learned that meeting interesting people depends less on where you go and more on who you are." ( )
