oprah
winfrey,
talk
show
host
and
media
entrepreneur,
addresses graduates at harvard's 362nd
commencement on may 30, XX.
oh my goodness! i'm at
harvard! wow! to president
faust,
my
fellow
honorands,
carl
that
was
so
beautiful,
thank
you
so
much,
and
james
rothenberg,
stephanie
wilson,
harvard
faculty
with
a
special
bow
to
my
friend
dr.
henry lewis gates.
all of you alumni with a special bow to
the class
of '88, your hundred fifteen
million dollars.
and to you, members of the harvard
class of XX!
hello!
i thank you for allowing me
to be a part of the
conclusion
of
this
chapter
of
your
lives
and
the
commencement of
your
next
chapter.
to
say that i'm
honored doesn't
even begin to quantify the depth of
gratitude
that
really
accompanies
an
honorary
doctorate
from
harvard.
not
too
many
little
girls
from
rural mississippi have
made it all the way here to
cambridge.
and i can tell you that i consider today as
i sat on the stage this morning getting
teary for you
all
and
then
teary
for
myself,
i
consider
today
a
defining
milestone
in
a
very
long
and
a
blessed
journey.
my one hope today is that i can be a
source of some
inspiration.
i'm
going
to
address
my
remarks
to
anybody
who
has
ever
felt
inferior
or
felt
disadvantaged,
felt
screwed by life, this is a speech for
the quad.
actually i was so honored i wanted to
do something
really
special
for
you.
i
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
you
look under your seats
and there would be free master
and
doctor
degrees
but
i
see
you
got
that
covered
already. i will be
honest with you. i felt a lot of
pressure
over
the
past
few
weeks
to
come
up
with
something that i could
share with you that you hadn't
heard
before
because
after
all
you
all
went
to
harvard,
i did not. but then
i realized that you don't have to
necessarily go to harvard to have a
driven obsessive
type a personality.
but it helps. and while i may not
have
graduated from here i admit that my personality
is
about
as
harvard
as
they
come.
you
know
my
television
career began unexpectedly. as you heard
this morning
i
was
in
the
miss
fire
prevention
contest.
that
was
when
i was 16 years old in
nashville, tennessee and you had
the
requirement of having to have red hair in order to
win
up
until
the
year
that
i
entered.
so
they
were
doing
the question and answer period because
i knew i wasn't
going
to
win
under
the
swimsuit
competition.
so
during
the
question
and
answer
period
the
question
came
young
lady,
what
would
you
like
to
be
when
you
grow
up?
and
by
the
time
they
got
to
me
all
the
good
answers
were
gone. so i had seen barbara walters on
the today show
that
morning
so
i
answered
would
like
to
be
a
journalist.
i
would
like
to
tell
other
people's
stories
in
a
way
that
makes
a
difference
in
their
lives
and
the
world.
i went
whoa! this is pretty good! i would like to be
a journalist. i want to make a
difference. well i was
on television by
the time i was 19 years old. and in
1986
i
launched
my
own
television
show
with
a
relentless
determination
to
succeed
at
first.
i
was
nervous
about
the
competition and then i became my own competition
raising the bar every year, pushing,
pushing, pushing
myself
as
hard
as
i
knew.
sound
familiar
to
anybody
here?
eventually
we
did
make
it
to
the
top
and
we
stayed
there
for 25 years.
the oprah winfrey show was number one
in our time
slot
for
21
years
and
i
have
to
tell
you
i
became
pretty
comfortable
with
that
level
of
success.
but
a
few
years
ago i
decided as you will at some point, that it was
time
to
recalculate,
find
new
territory,
break
new
ground.
so
i
ended
the
show
and
launched
own,
the
oprah
winfrey network. the
initials just worked out for me.
so
one
year
later
after
launching
own
nearly
every
media
outlet had proclaimed
that my new venture was a flop.
not
just a flop
but a big bold
flop they call it. i can
still remember the day i opened up usa
today and read
the headline
i
mean
really,
usa
today?
now
that's
the
nice
newspaper!
it really was
this time last year the worst period in
my
professional
life.
i
was
stressed
and
i
was
frustrated
and
quite
frankly
i
was
actually
i
was
embarrassed.
it
was
right
around
that
time
that
president faust called and asked me to
speak here and
i thought you want me to
speak to harvard graduates?
what could
i possibly say to harvard graduates, some
of the most successful graduates in the
world in the
very
moment
when
i
had
stopped
succeeding?
so
i
got
off
the
phone
with
president
faust
and
i
went
to
the
shower.
it was either that
or a bag of oreos. so i chose the
shower. and i was in the shower a long
time and as i
was in the shower the
words of an old hymn came to me.
you
may not know it. it's
comes.
might come because at
the time i thought i was stuck
in
a
hole.
and
the
words
came
to
me
don't
last
always
thought as i got out
of the shower i am going to turn
this
thing
around
and
i
will
be
better
for
it.
and
when
i
do,
i'm
going
to
go
to
harvard
and
i'm
going
to
speak
the truth of it! so i'm here today to
tell you i have
turned that network
around!
and
it
was
all
because
i
wanted
to
do
it
by
the
time
i
got
to
speak
to
you
all
so
thank
you
so
much.
you
don't
know
what motivation you were for me, thank you. i'm
even
prouder
to
share
a
fundamental
truth
that
you
might
not have learned even as graduates of
harvard unless
you
studied
the
ancient
greek
hero
with
professor
nagy.
professor nagy as we were coming in
this morning said
i shall walk decisively.
this is what i want to
share.
it
doesn't
matter
how
far
you
might
rise.
at
some
point
you
are
bound
to
stumble
because
if
you're
constantly
doing
what
we
do,
raising
the
bar.
if
you're
constantly pushing yourself higher,
higher the law of
averages
not
to
mention
the
myth
of
icarus
predicts
that
you
will
at
some
point
fall.
and
when
you
do
i
want
you
to know
this, remember this: there is no such thing as
failure. failure is just life trying to
move us in
another direction. now when
you're down there in the
hole, it looks
like failure. so this past year i had
to spoon feed those words to myself.
and when you're
down in the hole, when
that moment comes, it's really
okay
to
feel
bad
for
a
little
while.
give
yourself
time
to
mourn
what
you
think
you
may
have
lost
but
then
here's
the
key,
learn
from
every
mistake
because
every
experience, encounter, and particularly
your mistakes
are there to teach you
and force you into being more
who
you
are.
and
then
figure
out
what
is
the
next
right
move.
and
the
key
to
life
is
to
develop
an
internal
moral
emotional
that can tell you
which way to go. because
now and
forever
more when
you
google
yourself your
search results
will read
competitive
world
that
really
is
a
calling
card
because
i can tell you as
one who employs a lot of people when
i
see
is
he
or
she?
bring
them
in.
it's
an
impressive
calling
card that can
lead to
even more
impressive
bullets
in
the
years
ahead:
lawyer,
senator,
,
scientist, physicist, winners of nobel
and pulitzer
prizes or late night talk
show host. but the challenge
of life i
have found is to build a resume that doesn't
simply tell a story about what you want
to be but it's
a story about who you
want to be. it's a resume that
doesn't
just
tell
a
story
about
what
you
want
to
accomplish
but
why.
a
story
that's
not
just
a
collection
of
titles
and
positions
but
a
story
that's
really
about
your
purpose. because when you inevitably stumble and
find yourself stuck in a hole that is
the story that
will get you out. what
is your true calling? what is
your
dharma?
what
is
your
purpose?
for
me
that
discovery
came in 1994 when i interviewed a
little girl who had
decided
to
collect
pocket
change
in
order
to
help
other
people in need. she raised a thousand
dollars all by
herself and i thought
well if that little 9 year old
girl
with
a
bucket
and
big
heart
could
do
that
i
wonder
what i
could do? so i asked for our viewers to take up
their own change collection and in one
month just from
pennies
and
nickels
and
dimes
we
raised
more
than
three
million dollars that we used to send
one student from
every state in the
united states to college. that was
the
beginning of the angel network.
and so what i did was i
simply asked our viewers
sit
in
life.
give
me
your
time
or
your
talent
your
money
if
you
have
it.
and
they
did.
extend
yourself
in
kindness to other human beings wherever
you can. and
together
we
built
55
schools
in
12
different
countries
and restored
nearly 300 homes that were devastated by
hurricanes
rita
and
katrina.
so
the
angel
network
i
have
been on
the air for a long time, but it was the angel
network that actually focused my
internal
it helped
me
to
decide
that
i
wasn't
going
to
just
be
on
tv
every
day but that the goal of my shows, my
interviews, my
business,
my
philanthropy
all
of
it,
whatever
ventures
i might pursue
would be to make clear that what unites
us
is
ultimately
far
more
redeeming
and
compelling
than
anything that separates me. because
what had become
clear
to
me
and
i
want
you
to
know
it
isn't
always
clear
in
the
beginning
because
as
i
said
i
had
been
on
television since i was 19 years old.
but around '94 i
got really clear. so
don't expect the clarity to come
all at
once to know your purpose right away, but what
became clear to me was that i was here
on earth to use
television and not be
used by it; to use television to
illuminate
the
transcendent
power
of
our
better
angels.
so this angel
network, it didn't just change the lives
of those who were helped, but the lives
of those who
also
did
the
helping.
it
reminded
us
that
no
matter
who
we are or what we look like or what we
may believe it
is
both
possible
and
more
importantly
it
becomes
powerful
to
come
together
in
common
purpose
and
common
effort.
i
saw
something
on
the
bill
moore
show
recently
that so reminded me
of this point. it was an interview
with
david
and
francine
wheeler.
they
lost
their
7
year
old
son,
ben
in
the
sandy
hook
tragedy.
and
even
though
gun
safety
legislation
to
strengthen
background
checks
had just been voted
down in congress at the time that
they
were doing this interview they talked about how
they
refused
to
be
discouraged.
francine
said
this,
she
said
i'm
going
to
tell
them
what
it's
like
to
find
a
conversation about change that is love,
and i'm going
to
do
that
without
fighting
them.
and
then
her
husband
david
added
this,
simply
cannot
demonize
or
vilify
