The Oprah Effect

                Oprah Winfrey, was born on January 29, was the most important women globally and also the first African American billionaire. Her spirit and words has influenced a generation---no matter what kind of background you were, you have opportunity to be a success person. I learned couple of things from her.
               
                First,set yourself high goals." Success just does not come by chance." Oprah amassed her wealth by worked hard and by set ambitious and distinct targets on both the professional and personal levels. “The big secret in life is that there’s no big secret”, Oprah added. “Whatever your aim, you will get there if you’re willing to work”. As a result, whenever I felt hard to achieve my goal, I was always thinking about her word, even though probably we have different life but what I learned from her is to challenge myself to be a better person.
              
               Second, be responsible for your life. “We’re each responsible for our own life – no one else is or even could be”, shared Oprah. You shouldn’t allow people, events, and any unmanageable variables stand in the way between you and your dreams. Before, when I was failed to do something or involved in trouble, blaming people around me was the first thing I usually did. After knowing her story, I told myself to be my own boss and try to make decision myself, took care the responsibility myself. Parents and friends shouldn't be the excuse to rely on.


              Third,making your contribution to the society. Giving back to the community and to the whole world. “Just what I know beyond doubt is that whatever you give returns back to you”, convened Oprah. She definitely has managed to be humble and compassionate while registering her increasing profits. She loved to give back to her very own community and also to the poverty stricken communities around the world. Nevertheless, there's a lot of people tend to believe that as a individual in the word, taking care of himself and family members is the only thing they need to do. So what I learned is what comes around goes around, if you make contribute to the society, sooner or later you will find that more benefits come back to you.


              Therefore, Oprah Winfrey is the person who effected me a lot. From my point of view, her own life was  free lessons for all this generation. Not only changed the media field but also changed people's life style. That's also the reason why people love her so much around the world.

Type of me.

           No single personality type applies perfectly to a person, but for me on comes closer than all the others. The personality category that fits me most closely is type B. First, type B are extroverts which means this kind of people always love to be a center in group. From my experience, that is because type B person who scared to be forget and to be alone.
          Second, type B person love to entertain people. There are a lot of good examples of my friends. Just like me, I always like to have fun with friends rather than myself. I like to talking funny stuff. In addition, I also love to challenge turn silent guy to funny.
          Third, people who in type B often gravitate toward jobs in sales or marketing. In the past years, I had tried to be a salesperson as part-time job severals times, not in a surprise, I was very good at social with different kinds of people.
          What's more? Among my friends, I always act myself as a advisor, No matter what kind of problems my friends are facing to, they are like to call me getting some suggestions. Even though I felt that I was not very smart on my own situation. But actually I really get skills to help people go through in trouble.
           Saving the best to the last, I believe that friends always make me feel living. Opposite from people who are introvert, it's a very exciting thing to be with my friends. Therefore, no matter what kind of person you are, just follow your heart, do whatever you want, either quiet or charming, there will always a way for you.

interview

        Recently, the famous interviewer Anderson Cooper made an interview with Adele, who is 23 years old, eight Grammy award winner in 2011. From the interview, we know that Adele's song sells more than 18 million copies which indeed was a big success. However, compare all the modern skinny looking stars, Adele keeps her own style. And also, most of people like her as her special voice and the lyrics. Audiences are easy to feel the same feeling from her song. Her songs are singing about love, lost, heart broken in angry. Adele said those all from the hurt her ex-boyfriend gave her. Lucky, she fall in love with a much better man now, but Anderson Cooper wonder if she can write "sad song" as better as before.
        It's never easy to be success. Adele lost her voice in last November and December, At first, she felt some problem when she switch voice, she can't sing smoothly. As a result, she has to stop talking so that she use APP software instead. What's more? She rent a very big and privacy house in the country side in England, where has two swimming pools and ten bedrooms ( nine bedrooms are over need ), and virally no furniture inside. What Adele need is  just looking for private space for her and her lovely dog. 
       Therefore, one of her most famous song" Someone like you" has been an idiot song among a lot of people. For keeping up with all the new songs come out, Adele was working as a part-time seller in a music record store. Hope that special experience will motivate her makes more beautiful songs. We will also still keep eyes on her.
