When I first listen to this speech I liked everything about it, but now I realize that our inner compass should be based on our reason, not on our emotions.

can learn a lot from her speech....we must not think of who she is but listen to what she is to say....and learn

Trust the Feds to distribute her billion dollars? Please!!! It's incredibly naive if to think the Feds with all its bureaucracy could be trusted to carry out such a mission with integrity and ethics. Little morals? DUH!!! What speech were you listening to, help others, serve others, stand for something, be compassionate, listening to your intuition; sounds like important morals to me. Excellent speech Oprah, you're one of a king!

as usual: a lot of Oprah and little real morals

She only talks about herself, I this, I that... very much in love with herself. Oprah is worth $1.4 BILLION and earns more than $260 million annually. She is filthy rich. It would be nice if she could write a check to the Feds for say, $1.3 billion and trust them to distribute to the people who need it. People without jobs, without homes etc. Come on, Oprah don't be so stingy.

With a networth of 2.7 billion according to Forbes making her the richest self made woman in America, that jester is laughing all the way to the bank.And since when have you met 99% of the blacks in this country? Ignorance is just bliss isn't it my friend.

Although I think this is a great speech overall, I think she misses the mark on the reasons for helping others. You should never help others because of what it does for yourself (i.e. to "evolve" or for a "spiritual high") but rather do it for the other person. If you're helping others because it makes you feel good then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Do it for THEM not for YOU.

If you love oprah, you will love albert clayton gaulden, a spiritual self help novelist and a reccuring guest on her program. Check out his new video on youtube.

This is the most inspiring, thoughtful and useful graduation day speech I have ever heard. The reason Oprah overcame adversity & discrimination of all kinds to become one of the richest & most influential people on the planet is because she has an exceptional innate ability to acquire & synthesize wisdom. Her wise words bring me to tears. |
