Maya Angelou On Resilience and Children
“If children are given the chance to believe they’re worth something– if they truly believe that– they will insist upon it. That is in Rome, Italy, or Rome, Arkansas; in Paris, France, or Paris, Texas. Children don’t have to be born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but if they can be convinced they’re the best, they become resilient. They themselves will resist any attempts to belittle them. But it’s also a bouncing forward, going beyond what the naysayers said, saying, ‘No, it’s not true that I’m nobody. I know that not only is that not true, but I’m more than you can imagine!'” Read more from Maya Angelou { read more }
