This morning on the today show, Glamour Magazine was honoring their women of the year – that is where I think I fell in love with Dr. Maya Angelou.  Read the brief quotes below, but take a couple of minutes to watch the portion this interview with her that is at the beginning.

During the interview::

“You inspire other people, but what inspires you?” – Matt Lauer

“You.” – Dr. Maya Angelou

“That’s nice.” – Matt Lauer

“Every human being has the possibility and the probability and the privilege of inspiring someone else.  Everybody.  So, whether you know it or not; whether you recognized it or not – you’re a teacher- there are people watching you.” – Dr. Maya Angelou

“I listen to everybody.  I think of my whole body as an ear; and I listen – carefully and with respect.” – Dr. Maya Angelou
