Jeg har i dag været i selskab med en ekstraordinær kvinde. En kvinde, som helt bevidst har besluttet, at være generøs med sin viden, sit netværk, sine privilegier og pladserne om bordet juleaften. Fordi hun mener, at det er det rigtige at gøre. Og fordi hun mener, at alt, hvad man giver ud til andre, kommer godt igen.
I dags blogindlæg vil være anderledes end sædvanligt. Inspireret af denne kvinde – og som en hyldest til hende – deler jeg her “Hele 3 citater” :
1:
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. (Maya Angelou, amerikansk digter)
2:
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
3:
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. (Lao Tzu)

Hej Anna!
Fandt lige det Maya-citat, vi talte om i dag :
“When you know better you do better”
Klog kvinde!!!
Kh Lena
Kære Lena,
Tak! Ja, du godeste, hun er en vis kvinde.
Her er mere af samme kaliber:
“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.”
― Maya Angelou
