The three things that I want to leave with you,

just these three, I could do ten,

I could do a whole life class,

but just these three things will carry you if you let them.

First and foremost, knowing who you are.

Knowing who you are.

Being able to answer this question,

who am I and what do I want?

You know, many times when I go out of the country,

I am baffled by that question to explain what is your occupation.

I've stood there for 10 minutes.

Well, am I talk show host?

Well, I'm more than a talk show host.

Am I a businesswoman?

I'm a businesswoman, I'm more than a businesswoman.

Am I an entrepreneur?

I'm more than an entrepreneur.

So I just leave it blank or self-employed.

So I'm not asking for the roles that you play as daughters.

I'm not asking that question.

What are the roles that you play as a daughter,

as a friend, as a sister?

You're going to be a lawyer,

you're going to teach, you're going to be a pharmacist.

I'm asking the bigger question of who am I?

Who am I really?

My answer is I am God's child.

I am, I am that which is born of all that is.

I am as Pierre de Chardin said,

a spiritual being having a human experience come trailing the breath of the ancestors yet

but trailing the breath of the angels and understanding that

because i am connected to the source of all that is all that is possible is possible for me.

That's who I am.

And what do I want?

I don't want to just be successful in the world.

I don't want to just make a mark or have a legacy.

The answer to that question for me is,

I want to fulfill the highest,

truest expression of myself as a human being.

I want to fulfill the promise that the creator dreamed when he dreamed the cells that made up me.

What do I want?

You must have some kind of vision for your life.

Even if you don't know the plan,

you have to have a direction in which you choose to go.

I never was the kind of woman who liked to get in a car and just go for a ride.

I had a boyfriend who would say,

let's just go for a ride.

I want to know where are we going?

Do we have a destination?

Is there a plan or are we just riding?

What I've learned is that's a great metaphor for life

You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you're not life will drive you

So Knowing who you really are in this space and time that we embody That's number one.

What do you want?

Who are you?

Number two, you must find a way to serve.

Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous,

but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service.

Now we live in a world where everybody wants to be famous,

and where we admire people for just being famous.

We think being known brings us value.

The truth is all of that will fade in time.

In three years you won't be able to name the housewives of Atlanta.

The real truth is that service and significance,

service and the significance that you bring to your service is that which is lasting.

So to be able to,

whatever your occupation or job or talent or gift is,

our honorees today getting doctorate degrees to apparently opposite fields HIV

and AIDS and the spoken word

but what they have in common is service using the spoken word in service to community

and the world using your knowledge and information about HIV

and AIDS and medicine in service to the world and

if you look at all the most successful people in the world whether they know it

or not they have that paradigm of service everybody's talking about Mark Zuckerberg

and IPO service Jay-Z rapid service through the word to

people through song for many years I was really just happy to be on TV and people would stop and say,

oh you on TV?

Yeah, I'm on TV.

I like being on TV.

It's a nice job.

And it was about the time that I received my honorary doctorate from Spelman around 1993,

so I don't know if that had something to do with it.

I thought of myself as Dr. Winfrey.

Then I went back

and I took a long look at what it was I was doing on TV and made a decision

that I was no longer going to just be on TV,

but I was going to use TV as a platform,

as a force for good,

and not be used by TV.

And I will tell you,

my decision to make that significant change in the way I operated on television,

using television as a service, changed my career exponentially.

Service through medicine, service through art,

using whatever it is you produce,

your product, as a way of giving back to the world.

When you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service and you bring significance to that,

success will, I promise you, follow you.

Service and significance equals success.

That's number two.

100

Number three, it's so simple but so hard to do.

101

Always do the right thing.

102

Always.

103

be excellent people notice think of how you notice you go to Taco Bell somebody gives you extra napkin

104

and some sauce you notice you want to go back to

105

that person because even at Taco Bell excellence shows itself be excellent let excellence be your brand.

106

Everybody talks about building a brand.

107

I never even knew what that was.

108

When people say you're a brand I would say no I'm just Oprah.

109

What I recognize now is that my choice to in every way,

110

in every example, in every experience to do the right thing and the excellent thing is what has created The brand.

111

Years ago, I did an ad for Revlon for an ad they were doing called Unforgettable Women.

112

And what I know is that when you are excellent, you become unforgettable.

113

People remember you.

114

You stand out.

115

Regardless of what it is,

116

you become an unforgettable woman.

117

And that is what we all want.

118

We want to be unforgettable and not forgettable.

119

So doing the right thing,

120

even when nobody knows you're doing the right thing,

121

will always bring the right thing to you.

122

I promise you that.

123

Why?

124

Because the third law of motion is always at work.

125

For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

126

That is so true in all of our lives.

127

That's what Newton said.

128

Celia in the color purple said it,

129

everything you even try to do to me, already done to you.

130

Everything you even try to do to me, already done to you.

131

So you don't have to worry about revenge or getting back at somebody,

132

making sure they pay.

133

You just have to do the right thing and the right thing will follow you even when people don't support it.

134

I remember many times on my show,

135

there are many shows y'all never saw,

136

and the reason you didn't see them is because I got the last vote.

137

And I remember 2010, my team,

138

hardest working team in television,

139

had done this interview with a woman who turns out she was a Sunday school teacher by day

140

and a sex addict at night.

141

Ooh.

142

And they were like, you won't believe it.

143

We got her going out.

144

We got her with the men.

145

And we get to show her.

146

And she was willing to show us everything.

147

I sat down with a woman for an interview that was taped

148

and during the process of the interview I said why are you doing this

149

and she said oh I want to help people I want to tell my story

150

and I want to help people I said do you have

151

children she says yes I have a 10 year old son

152

I knew right then this is never gonna see the light of day

153

so we got off the air

154

and I said to the lady we are not going to air

155

that show

156

and she said why my producer said why she knew she

157

was being filmed she knew what she was saying she knows what you I said

158

because her son will never get over it her son will never get over it.

159

And it's not worth a rating point to me,

160

not worth a rating point to me to know

161

that there's a 10-year-old boy who's destroyed because his mother went on the Oprah Winfrey show and told all her business.

162

You do the right thing even when other people think it may not be.

163

And oftentimes when you make a decision to do the right thing,

164

immediately you're faced with doubt.

165

Was that the right thing?

166

Was that the right decision?

167

I don't know.

168

Was that the right thing?

169

You always know it's the right thing when in the end there is peace.

170

You are rewarded by peace in knowing that you did the right thing.

171

The most important thing I have come to know in doing the right thing and making the right choices is

172

understanding what we talked about yesterday.

173

All of you leaving here have the potential for enormous success.

174

There's a price that comes with that.

175

People don't always like you and they're not always happy for you

176

and if you surround yourself with people who are not accustomed to your success,

177

they become fearful they become scared because you are reflecting back something to them

178

that they don't recognize now they're not gonna say you know I'm very fearful

179

because you're reflecting back to me something I don't recognize they're

180

going to say you know what they're gonna say they're gonna say who she thinks she is,

181

who she thinks she is,

182

that only happens when you are around people who do not mean and want and aspire to the best for you.

183

People who want the best for you want you to be your best.

184

So my greatest advice to you is to surround yourself with

185

people who are going to fill your cup until your cup runneth over.

186

So when people say you're so full of yourself, you can say, yeah.

187

Yes, I'm full.

188

I'm so full, my cup runneth over.

189

And to know that once your cup runneth over,

190

you cannot spend your life with your gallon

191

size offerings offering them to pint-sized

192

people you have got to surround yourself with

193

gallon size people who can hang in the same company with you

194

so that you're not offering your gallons to those little pipes out there who can't hold it anyway.

195

Choice to change the world.

196

I love that song.

197

I love hearing you all sing that song.

198

And what I know for sure is that the biggest choices begin and end with you,

199

your internal big questions.

200

Who do I want to be in the world?

201

My relationship to source energy,

202

to all that is God.

203

I'm not talking about what you believe in God.

204

I'm talking about your experience of that which is all life,

205

which is divine and universal.

206

I'm talking about the big deal,

207

being connected and aligned with that.

208

When you are tuned in and charged into that,

209

whenever you feel empty, you go inside yourself and you connect to the source and you know that all things are possible.

210

to know that and to choose to do the right thing in service and significance.

211

I promise you, you will create a vessel of service for yourself first because you have to honor yourself first.

212

You have to give to yourself first,

213

otherwise you have nothing to give away.

214

You will create a vessel for yourself,

215

for your family, your community, and the world.

216

And those three things will not only lead you to a blessed life.

217

I stand as a witness.

218

My life is so blessed I can't even take it in sometimes.

219

It will lead you not just to a gifted life

220

and a rewarding life that fills you up

221

but a sweet life that's what you want you want the sweetness you want it to be

222

so sweet so that even when the storms come and they will you'll know this too shall pass.

223

This too shall pass.

224

The storm is passing over and you shall not be moved because you know who you are.

225

When you can do that, grace will follow you.

226

Grace and glory.

227

And when they see you coming,

228

it ought to make them proud.

229

They say it's the click of your heels.

230

It's the bend of your hand,

231

it's the palm of your hand,

232

it's the need for your care because you a woman,

233

you a Spelman woman.

234

Phenomenally, phenomenal class of 2012.

235

Thank you.

236

Thank you.

237

Thank you.

238

Fabulous.
