Words of Wisdom by Maya Angelou

I want to share with you guys an e-mail that my sister sent me, I must say that of ALL the e-mails that I have received, this is one that I really enjoyed reading. So sit down and learn, sometimes It's not about the words but the meanings.

Words of wisdom by Maya Angelou :

"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/shehandles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangledChristmas 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 alife'."

"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 mitton both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, Iusually 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 forgetwhat you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Maya Angelou's wisdom is truly a gift.

There is so much for us to learn yet life seems so short, although looking on the bright side of life, I just have to make the most of what I have and what I've got, I can't dwell upon the things that I don't have but I sure can make the best of the things that I already have...

...and one more thing " Life is not all about the Maps, It's also about the Adventures, go on and explore but always remember to keep an open-mind "~NEiL G.
