Anais Nin
and from Oprah Winfrey, thank you.
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 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 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 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.'
