“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
— Maya Angelou

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people don't remember the exact words you used or every action you took, but they will always remember the emotions you caused them to feel. Imagine you have a teacher who always made you feel important and capable. You might forget the lessons they taught or the details of their advice, but you will never forget the confidence and encouragement they gave you. This idea teaches you to focus on being kind, supportive, and understanding, because those feelings last a lifetime. When you treat people with respect and warmth, they will remember you fondly, even if the specific details fade away. So, it's not just about your words or actions, but the overall emotional impact you have on others.
