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.
