Greatest Speech by Oprah Winfrey

I had to go out yesterday for some work and now it feels strange going out. Since March end I'm in home and coronavirus is splurging out. People talk about it casually and I'm very serious that if some important work is there and I'm getting compensate proportionately only then I step out. I refuse so many opportunities to work which in the normal course I would happily do. I remember our chief minister saying "This is an extraordinary time and we need extraordinary measures".

Today we have a one of the greatest speech by Oprah Winfrey:-


  • No. 1 She asking the bigger question. Who am I?

  • She answers she is God's child.

  • She doesn't want to be just successful.

  • She wants to fulfil the highest and truest expression of herself as a human being.

  • You must have some kind of vision in life even if you don't know the plan but there must be a clear path.

  • No.2 you must find a way to serve.

  • Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous but can be great because greatness is determined by service.

  • We live in a world where everyone wants to be famous.

  • Whatever is your job, profession there is one thing in common, service.

  • Using your knowledge to the service of the world when you shift the paradigm and bring it to the service.

  • Everybody talks about making a brand. She didn't know what is that?

  • She knew only doing right, service and become unforgettable through service, even if nobody knows what you are doing.

  • You don't have to worry about revenge or going after someone.

  • The most important thing she learned while doing the right things and making the right choices is understanding what she talked about yesterday. 

  • You all have enormous potential to be successful.

  • There is a cost for that. People don't like you and they are not always happy for you.

  • And if you surround yourself with people who are not accustomed to your success they become fearful they become scared because you are reflecting back something that they don't recognize.

  • People who want the best for you, want you to be the best version of self.

  • The greatest advice, Surround yourself with, who can fill your cup until it overflows.

  • Once your cup is over you can not spend your life with your gallon size offerings offering your gallon to pipe size people.

  • You have to surround yourself with the gallon size people. Who can hang in the same company with you. So that you are not offering your gallons to little pipes out there. Who can't hold it anyway.

  • The biggest choice begins and ends with you.

  • Your internal big questions. Who do I want to be in the world?

  • Your relationship with the source, energy to all that is God.

  • Whenever you feel empty go inside of you and connect with the source and you will know that all things are possible.

Work Hard on Yourself than Your Job

One of the things I learned through my struggling years, work hard on yourself than your job. As soon as I learned it, I started reading and applying the teachings from self-help books of the famous authors and coaches. And I can feel the difference but not much. Some of my good friends have closely observed me while watching me growing. Some of them admire me and most of them turned their back because of jealousy. One thing I always remind myself, be ready to walk alone. I also found there are only 2 options for everything:- You can do it Or you can not. There is nothing in between these 2 options. Today we have an interview with Eric Thomas by Lewis Howes " When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you will be successful". Eric just completed his PhD. How he did it? He says it is the American dream. It's the greatest time and country to be born. Through education he got everything. Not talking about degrees but real education. He dropped out of high s...
