"I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it<br/>seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that<br/>you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:<br/>a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that<br/>regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re<br/>gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as<br/>making a life. I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. <br/>I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both<br/>hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I’ve learned that whenever<br/>I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve<br/>learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that<br/>every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or<br/>just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. <br/>I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you<br/>did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou
