remember this: When you cross my doorstep, you have already been raised. With what you have learned... you know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. Don't anybody raise you from the way you have been raised. Know you will have to make adaptations, in love, in relationships, in friends, in society, in work, but don't let anybody change your mind.
In her book Mom & Me & Mom, Maya Angelou emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's moral foundation. She suggests that everyone carries the values instilled in them from their upbringing and that these core principles serve as a guiding light throughout life. While changes and adaptations are a natural part of growing, she urges individuals not to compromise their sense of right and wrong.
Angelou also highlights the significance of love and relationships in navigating life's challenges. She advises that although one must evolve in various aspects of life such as friendships, society, and work, it is crucial to maintain one's inner convictions. She encourages people to resist external pressures that may try to alter their moral outlook, advocating for integrity and authenticity in all circumstances.
