Education: the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the
righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what
the righteous deserve.
This too, I say, is meaningless.
So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for
a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad.
Then joy will
accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given
them under the sun.
When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night—
then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on
under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can
discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot
really comprehend it.
-Ecclesiastes 8: 14-17
On
April 2011, 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 everyday.....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"
by Maya Angelou
'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.'
