One Very Smart Women/writer!


 








In April,
Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what
she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was
'exciting.' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every
day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her
waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a
simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

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 will
never forget how you made them feel.'
