Maya Angelou on understanding character

This is a fantastic Maya Angelou quote:
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.
I'd give myself a 7/10 on the luggage thing, a 9/10 on the rain, and a 5/10 on the lights. Lots of room for improvement. MALZ WERLD (via Kottke)
