Don\'t break the elastics-zt

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.'

为了简便起见，我决定管你这个小朋友叫飘雪，要是有意见尽早提，否则叫起来就不好改了。:)

Very True. I am learning everyday. 不过我需要监督, 要不很容易学坏了

姐妹们，这两天没机会上网，错过了好多热闹。喜欢那雾，也喜欢那树。这篇更是让我受教育多多。

我明天要出去玩两天，节后见。
祝大家感恩节快乐！

我也觉得这些话说的挺好的，不过最喜欢前面她拿自己的breast开的那个玩笑，一看这个玩笑，就一下子特喜欢这人。:)

最喜欢最后一段话！谢谢分享！

[mycereal]

很有智慧的话。也最喜欢最后一段话。

[南雪北飘]

尤其喜欢这两段：

-- 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 people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

[南山松]

I learned a lot, too.

Thank you for sharing. :)

[shuimaomao]

My hahaha was for the sofa, by the way.
no more notes for tonight. Goodnight.

[shuimaomao]

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.' -- Does the one means alone?

[shuimaomao]

hahaha!! I see wisdom in every words, very well said.

The last line is interesting!
