Something I'm glad I learned

Over here theferrett asks what people are most happy they left behind from their life as a 20-something.

And I'm including something I learned in my 30s, because frankly it was incredibly useful.

I learned that there are seven billion people on the planet, and I cannot argue with each and every one of them until I have made them right.

I learned that there are more books published every day than I could read in my lifetime.

I learned that there has been more songs produced than I could listen to if I started now and never listened to any of them twice.

I learned that no matter what I did, I could not do _everything_.

And boy was that a weight off my mind.

How about you?
