Maya Angelou Day

A few quotes by a very wise woman - Maya Angelou.  I used these in one of my classes yesterday and had to let most of the students out early to clean themselves up in the bathroom - they were all bawling!  Choose your favorite and tell me which one it is and why.

• 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 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.
