1
The three things that I want to leave with you, just these three, I could do ten, I could do a whole life class.
2
But just these three things will carry you if you let them.
3
First and foremost, knowing who you are.
4
Knowing who you are.
5
Being able to answer this question, who am I?
6
And what do I want?
7
You know, many times when I go out of the country, I am baffled by that question.
8
To explain what is your occupation.
9
I've stood there for 10 minutes.
10
Well, am I talk show host?
11
Well, I'm more than a talk show host.
12
Am I a business woman?
13
I'm a business woman.
14
I'm more than a business woman.
15
Am I an entrepreneur?
16
I'm more than an entrepreneur.
17
So I just leave it blank or self-employed.
18
So I'm not asking for the roles that you play as daughters.
19
I'm not asking that question.
20
What are the roles that you play as a daughter, as a friend, as a sister?
21
You're going to be a lawyer, you're going to teach, you're going to be a pharmacist.
22
I'm asking the bigger question of who am I?
23
Who am I really?
24
My answer is I am God's child.
25
I am that which is born of all that is.
26
I am, as Pierre de Chardin said, a spiritual being having a human experience.
27
Come trailing the breath of the ancestors yet, but trailing the breath of the angels.
28
And understanding that because I am connected to the source of all that is,
29
All that is possible is possible for me.
30
That's who I am.
31
And what do I want?
32
I don't want to just be successful in the world.
33
I don't want to just make a mark or have a legacy.
34
The answer to that question for me is I want to fulfill the highest,
35
truest expression of myself as a human being.
36
I want to fulfill the promise that the creator dreamed when he dreamed the cells that made up me.
37
Number two, you must find a way to serve.
38
Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service.
39
Now we live in a world where everybody wants to be famous and where we admire people for just being famous.
40
We think being known brings us value.
41
The truth is all of that will fade in time.
42
In three years you won't be able to name the housewives a banana.
43
The real truth is that service and significance,
44
service and the significance that you bring to your service is that which is lasting.
45
So to be able to whatever your occupation or job or talent or gift is,
46
our honorees today getting doctorate degrees to apparently opposite fields,
47
HIV and AIDS and the spoken word.
48
But what they have in common is service, using the spoken word in service to community and the world,
49
using your knowledge and information about HIV and AIDS and medicine in service to the world.
50
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.
51
Everybody's talking about Mark Zuckerberg and IPO.
52
Service, Jay-Z rapping, service.
53
Through the word, to people, through song.
54
For many years, I was really just happy to be on TV and people would stop and say, oh, you on TV?
55
Yeah, I'm on TV.
56
I like being on TV.
57
It's a nice job.
58
And it was about the time that I received my honorary doctorate from Spellman around 1993, so I don't know if that had something to do with it.
59
I thought of myself as Dr. Winfrey.
60
Then I went back
61
and I took a long look at what it was I was doing on TV and made a decision
62
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,
63
and not be used by TV.
64
And I will tell you,
65
my decision to make that significant change in the way I operated on television,
66
using television as a service, changed my career exponentially.
67
Service through medicine, service through art.
68
Using whatever it is you produce, your product, as a way of giving back to the world.
69
When you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service, and you bring significance to that,
70
success will, I promise you, follow you.
71
Service and significance equals success.
72
Number three, it's so simple but so hard to do.
73
Always do the right thing.
74
Always. Be excellent.
75
People notice.
76
Think of how you notice.
77
You go to Taco Bell, somebody gives you extra napkin and some sauce, you notice.
78
You wanna go back to that person.
79
Because even at Taco Bell, excellence shows itself. Be excellent.
80
Let excellence be your brand.
81
Everybody talks about building a brand.
82
I never even knew what that was.
83
When people say, you're a brand, I would say, no, I'm just Oprah.
84
What I recognize now is that my choice to in every way, in every example, in every experience,
85
to do the right thing and the excellent thing is what has created the brand.
86
years ago I did an ad for Revlon for for an ad they were doing called unforgettable women
87
and what I know is that
88
when you are excellent you become unforgettable people remember you you
89
stand out regardless of what it is you become an unforgettable woman
90
and that is what we all want we want to be unforgettable and not forgettable so doing the right thing even
91
when nobody knows you're doing the right thing will always bring the right thing to you i promise you
92
that why because the third law of motion is always at work for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.
93
That is so true in all of our lives.
94
That's what Newton said.
95
Celia in the color purple said it.
96
Everything you even try to do to me.
97
Already done to you.
98
So you don't have to worry about revenge or getting back at somebody.
99
making sure they pay you just have to do the right thing
100
and the right thing will follow you even
101
when people don't support it people don't always like you
102
and they're not always happy for you and
103
if you surround yourself with people who are not accustomed to your success they become fearful they become scared
104
because you are reflecting back something to them that they don't recognize.
105
Now they're not gonna say,
106
you know I'm very fearful because you're reflecting back to me something I don't recognize.
107
They're going to say, you know what they're gonna say, they're gonna say who she thinks she is,
108
who she thinks she is.
109
That only happens when you are around people who do not mean and want and aspire to the best for you.
110
People who want the best for you want you to be your best.
111
So my greatest advice to you is to surround yourself with
112
people who are going to fill your cup until your cup runneth over.
113
So when people say you're so full of yourself you can say yeah.
114
Yes I'm full.
115
I'm so full my cup runneth over.
116
And to know that once your cup runneth over you You cannot spend your life with your gallon size offerings,
117
offering them to pint size people.
118
You have got to surround yourself with gallon size people who can hang in the same company with you
119
so that you're not offering your gallons to those little pipes out there who can't hold it anyway.
120
Choice to change the world.
121
I love that song.
122
I love hearing you all sing that song
123
and what I know for sure is that the biggest choices begin and end with you.
124
Your internal big questions.
125
Who do I want to be in the world.
126
My relationship to source energy, to all that is God.
127
I'm not talking about what you believe in God, I'm talking about your experience of that which is all life,
128
which is divine and universal.
129
I'm talking about the big deal, being connected and aligned with that,
130
when you are tuned in and charged into that,
131
whenever you feel empty, you go inside yourself and you connect to the source and you know that all things are possible.
132
To know that and to choose to do the right thing in service and significance,
133
I promise you.
134
You will create a vessel of service for yourself first because you have to honor yourself first.
135
You have to give to yourself first otherwise you have nothing to give away.
136
You will create a vessel for yourself, for your family, your community and the world.
137
and those three things will not only lead you to a
138
blessed life I stand as a witness my life is
139
so blessed I can't even take it in sometimes it will lead you not just to a gifted life
140
and a rewarding life that fills you up but a sweet life.
141
That's what you want.
142
You want the sweetness.
143
You want it to be so sweet so that even when the storms come,
144
and they will, you'll know this too shall pass.
145
This too shall pass.
146
The storm is passing over and you shall not be moved because you know who you are.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
