I mean some of it is wise, tho there's a shitload of assimilationism. Anyways, we're told to tailor this wisdom with our intelligence as we see fit.

A lot of it basically comes down to be polite so that you can make friends with people who will be willing to bail you out as needed.

Maya Angelou is a prophet. She shows us the way to live and be. She is inspiring and beautiful and her words help us to make something more of ourselves. Not all of this book was for me but that doesn’t make it any less perfect. 

N.B. I would highly recommend the audio book with Maya Angelou reading her words unabridged. She imbues so much soul and life into every sentence - it is a joy and privilege to behold.
