Words of Wisdom

If you like to read, Maya Angelou is a MUST. Her wisdom and life experiences seem to touch all those who read her works. Must reads include I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and her current best-seller A Song Flung Up to Heaven.

Here are just a few of her wisdoms and witt!

> > > >Maya Angelou said this:

* "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,Life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
* "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she Handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
* "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
* "I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life."
* "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
* "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
* "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
* "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
* "I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
* "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
* "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people w ill never forget how you made them feel."

When you read her wisdom, you just feel like you know her....I think it would be so great to actually be able to meet her in person, she seems like the type of person that would leave a special mark on your life, as she has with her writings.
