1
The three things that I want to leave with you,
2
just these three, I could do ten,
3
I could do a whole life class,
4
but just these three things will carry you if you let them.
5
First and foremost, knowing who you are.
6
Knowing who you are.
7
Being able to answer this question,
8
who am I and what do I want?
9
You know, many times when I go out of the country,
10
I am baffled by that question to explain what is your occupation.
11
I've stood there for 10 minutes.
12
Well, am I talk show host?
13
Well, I'm more than a talk show host.
14
Am I a businesswoman?
15
I'm a businesswoman, I'm more than a businesswoman.
16
Am I an entrepreneur?
17
I'm more than an entrepreneur.
18
So I just leave it blank or self-employed.
19
So I'm not asking for the roles that you play as daughters.
20
I'm not asking that question.
21
What are the roles that you play as a daughter,
22
as a friend, as a sister?
23
You're going to be a lawyer,
24
you're going to teach, you're going to be a pharmacist.
25
I'm asking the bigger question of who am I?
26
Who am I really?
27
My answer is I am God's child.
28
I am, I am that which is born of all that is.
29
I am as Pierre de Chardin said,
30
a spiritual being having a human experience come trailing the breath of the ancestors yet
31
but trailing the breath of the angels and understanding that
32
because i am connected to the source of all that is all that is possible is possible for me.
33
That's who I am.
34
And what do I want?
35
I don't want to just be successful in the world.
36
I don't want to just make a mark or have a legacy.
37
The answer to that question for me is,
38
I want to fulfill the highest,
39
truest expression of myself as a human being.
40
I want to fulfill the promise that the creator dreamed when he dreamed the cells that made up me.
41
What do I want?
42
You must have some kind of vision for your life.
43
Even if you don't know the plan,
44
you have to have a direction in which you choose to go.
45
I never was the kind of woman who liked to get in a car and just go for a ride.
46
I had a boyfriend who would say,
47
let's just go for a ride.
48
I want to know where are we going?
49
Do we have a destination?
50
Is there a plan or are we just riding?
51
What I've learned is that's a great metaphor for life
52
You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you're not life will drive you
53
So Knowing who you really are in this space and time that we embody That's number one.
54
What do you want?
55
Who are you?
56
Number two, you must find a way to serve.
57
Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous,
58
but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service.
59
Now we live in a world where everybody wants to be famous,
60
and where we admire people for just being famous.
61
We think being known brings us value.
62
The truth is all of that will fade in time.
63
In three years you won't be able to name the housewives of Atlanta.
64
The real truth is that service and significance,
65
service and the significance that you bring to your service is that which is lasting.
66
So to be able to,
67
whatever your occupation or job or talent or gift is,
68
our honorees today getting doctorate degrees to apparently opposite fields HIV
69
and AIDS and the spoken word
70
but what they have in common is service using the spoken word in service to community
71
and the world using your knowledge and information about HIV
72
and AIDS and medicine in service to the world and
73
if you look at all the most successful people in the world whether they know it
74
or not they have that paradigm of service everybody's talking about Mark Zuckerberg
75
and IPO service Jay-Z rapid service through the word to
76
people through song for many years I was really just happy to be on TV and people would stop and say,
77
oh you on TV?
78
Yeah, I'm on TV.
79
I like being on TV.
80
It's a nice job.
81
And it was about the time that I received my honorary doctorate from Spelman around 1993,
82
so I don't know if that had something to do with it.
83
I thought of myself as Dr. Winfrey.
84
Then I went back
85
and I took a long look at what it was I was doing on TV and made a decision
86
that I was no longer going to just be on TV,
87
but I was going to use TV as a platform,
88
as a force for good,
89
and not be used by TV.
90
And I will tell you,
91
my decision to make that significant change in the way I operated on television,
92
using television as a service, changed my career exponentially.
93
Service through medicine, service through art,
94
using whatever it is you produce,
95
your product, as a way of giving back to the world.
96
When you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service and you bring significance to that,
97
success will, I promise you, follow you.
98
Service and significance equals success.
99
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.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
