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.'

為了簡便起見，我決定管你這個小朋友叫飄雪，要是有意見盡早提，否則叫起來就不好改了。:)

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'

Very True. I am learning everyday. 不過我需要監督, 要不很容易學壞了

姐妹們，這兩天沒機會上網，錯過了好多熱鬧。喜歡那霧，也喜歡那樹。這篇更是讓我受教育多多。

我明天要出去玩兩天，節後見。
祝大家感恩節快樂！

我也覺得這些話說的挺好的，不過最喜歡前麵她拿自己的breast開的那個玩笑，一看這個玩笑，就一下子特喜歡這人。:)

最喜歡最後一段話！謝謝分享！

[mycereal]

很有智慧的話。也最喜歡最後一段話。

[南雪北飄]

尤其喜歡這兩段：

-- 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.

[南山鬆]

I learned a lot, too.

Thank you for sharing. :)

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!
