Maya Angelou Questions

2. “The Universal Human Power To Triumph Over Adversity” -

I know 100% without a doubt that I have that ability. I recently had to show it, over these last two years I thought I had no way out. I didn’t have any of the opportunities I have now, but I made a way. I’ve been under the microscope of certain people for a long time, and I’m just now escaping from under it. I had to keep my head on straight and focus on what’s important, and that was getting out from under their microscope. I started getting into more positive things like sports, art, and reading. That made the time fly by, and it made it easier for me to stay out of trouble.

3. “Giving bad dreams too much power” -

I don’t think talking about your bad dreams give them any power at all, unless you give it

to them. I think in all honestly that talking about bad dreams takes away more power than it’ll ever give to them. Letting the memory of that dream stay inside you, could do more damage to you than speaking out about it. Speaking out releases the power things (in this case bad dreams) have over you.

4. “Dreams tell the truth about us” -

I think dreams tell us more about ourselves more than other people, it’s just that most people just try to brush dreams off, because they’re dreams. I feel that dreams come from the subconscious and that our mind might be trying to tell us something bigger. Even if the dream doesn’t make that much sense on the base of it, if you look a little deeper you might find out something about yourself that you’d never thought about.

5. “Living Silent Like Angelou” -

There is no way I could live like this, I have to speak my mind. I hate holding my tongue, and doing it for almost five years? I couldn’t do it. On the other hand, sometimes I wish I could live like that. I think by listening more than talking, you’ll learn a lot more about the world around you, or the world period. If you speak more and talk less, you’ll learn more about yourself. So I think it better to have a mix, because you don’t want to know all about the world without knowing yourself, but you don’t want to know yourself and nothing else.

7. “Remembering the Past” -

I can remember a few things in my life, but I just try not to think about them. Not because the memories are bad, I do have some bad ones, but it’s because I try to live in the “now”. The past is gone, and the future doesn’t exist. People waste too much time, regretting things or trying to plan too far ahead, and by the time they know it, it’s their time to go. I don’t wanna go out regretting anything, like thinking I didn’t live life to the fullest because I was too worried about the past of the future. Only thing that is important is what’s happening now.
