maya angelou quote

Via BoingBoing:

Maya Angelou on understanding character:

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.


These are the sort of insights I wish I'd had when I was a much younger woman.

Oh, a rainy day and lost luggage, no prob, but tangled Christmas tree lights drive me BONKERS! :)

I'm good on the rain and the lights, but I'm ashamed to admit how I act when my luggage is lost. Not that I've ever lost luggage (knock on wood) but it wouldn't be pretty.

What about you, Maggie?

I never answered this, did I?

I will.
