I've learned by Maya Angelou

Vladimir Gusev Painting

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 something 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.
