I bought a poem book in California in 1994. This book was written by the popular poet called Maya Angelou. I took it out from my book shelf when I was referring it to write my Blog post on the topic of poem on 19 May (just last Thursday). I notice that this book has turned yellowish now. 

I received an email sent by my friend, the GFF, three days ago. This email is mentioning about Maya Angelou was interviewed by the famous talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, on her 70+ birthday. 

I think it is either a coincident or an effect of the “Law of Attraction“. Anyway, I would like to thank my friend for sharing this email with me.

Picture of Maya Angelou :

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.’ 

I find what Maya Angelou has said are very inspiring and meaningful. I believe it has inspired us to see things in a different perspective and re-look the way we live our lives.
