奥普拉·温弗瑞 讲稿
奥普拉斯坦福大学的演讲(完整版)
Feelings, Failure and Finding Happiness感觉、失败及寻找幸福——奥普拉·温弗瑞------------ ——美国著名电视节目主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞2008年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上发表的演讲Thank you, President Hennessy, and to the trustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the Stanford graduates. Thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.Hennessy校长，全体教员，家长，还有斯坦福的毕业生门，非常感谢你们。
感谢你们让我和你们分享这美好的一天。
I need to begin by letting everyone in on a little secret. The secret is that Kirby Bump us, Stanford Class of '08, is my goddaughter. So, I was thrilled when President Hennessy asked me to be your Commencement speaker, because this is the first time I've been allowed on campus since Kirby's been here.我决定透漏一个小秘密给大家来作为这次演讲的开始。
这个秘密就是Kirby Bumpus，斯坦福2008年的毕业生，是我的义女。
所以当Hennessy 校长让我来做演讲时，我受宠若惊，因为自从Kirby来这上学以来，这是我第一次被允许到斯坦福来。
You see, Kirby's a very smart girl. She wants people to get to know her on her own terms, she says. Not in terms of who she knows. So, she never wants anyone who's first meeting her to know that I know her and she knows me. So, when she first came to Stanford for new student orientation with her mom, I hear that they arrived and everybody was so welcoming, and somebody came up to Kirby and they said, "Ohmigod, that's Gayle King!" Because a lot of people know Gayle King as my BFF [best friend forever].正如你们知道的那样Kirby是一个非常聪明的女孩。
脱口秀女王——奥普拉·温弗瑞——谢幕！！
脱口秀女王——奥普拉·温弗瑞——谢幕！！来源Page Not Found - The Washington Post戴上你的方帽，穿上你的长袍——我们毕业了！这一刻，我们都会紧张。
从1986年开始，我们的生活被安全防范在以倡导大家实现自我价值的最好电视节目之中；我们遵循着节目的各种规定，并将这种每日的仪式融入我的生活中；我们认真地完成布置给我们的“家庭作业”，也参加严格的“在线测试”；在每天的“课程表”里，我们读着“常读的书”，全神贯注地注视着我们的“老师”。
但是，我们的课堂解散了——奥普拉·温弗瑞（美国著名女脱口秀主持人）的脱口秀电视节目落下帷幕了！是时候领取我们毕业证书了！勇敢地开始没有她指引的生活吧！许多忠实的观众都害怕星期三“奥普拉脱口秀”最终一曲的到来，焦虑地担心着没有了她的节目，他们的生活会从此不同。
时光穿梭回到2009年的11月，当这位倍受瞩目的主持人，宣布她将在2011年结束她钟爱的节目时，许多狂热的粉丝心灵受到了极大的创伤。
粉丝们在大街上将“尾声逼近！”的标语穿在身上；从大豆拿铁馆到尊巴舞教室，他们辗转于大街小巷里，喋喋不休地倾诉、表达着他们的担忧。
谁还会像奥普拉一样，给他们每日一剂的爱怜、推心置腹的担忧和彻底翻身的勇气？没有听到奥普拉的智慧的言语，他们怎么能够活得过一天？我理解并尊重他们当得知奥普拉即将离开脱口秀后，那种好似世界末日到来的感觉。
但是，我敢带着百分之百的信心告诉你们：还有另外一种幸福和满足！时光再次穿梭，回到2008年，我开始了一个叫“living Opraph”（永存的奥普拉精神）的计划。
（作者是一名来自芝加哥的写作家和演员，是《永存的奥普拉精神——整整一年的体验奥普拉对各阶层生活的建议》的作者。
）在开始之前，我不知道为什么这么多的人——特别是妇女——如此沉溺于奥普拉的生活的建议，且都努力去追捧。
甚至是我聪明而独立的妈妈，都狂热于奥普拉最爱的内衣，而且天天大声喊着，“我绝不落后于我的女儿！”那些奥普拉迷们，挥洒着汗水，花费了如此之多珍贵的时间和辛苦赚来的钱，只为住进奥普拉理想中的生活。

"there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction."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, stephaniewilson, 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 somethingreally 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 "why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?" and by the time they got to me all the good answers weregone. so i had seen barbara walters on the today show that morning so i answered "i 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." and as those words were coming out of my mouth 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 "oprah, not quite standing on her own."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 "by and by, when the morning comes." and i started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time i thought i was stuckin a hole. and the words came to me "trouble don't last always" from that hymn, "this too shall pass." and i 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 "please ms. winfrey, walk decisively."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 youto 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 "harvard, XX". and in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because i can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when i see "harvard" i sit up a little straighter and say "where 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 wasthe beginning of the angel network.and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers "do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you 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 whatbecame 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 "our hearts are broken but our spirits are not. 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, "you simply cannot demonize or vilifysomeone who doesn't agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do that any longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light." in our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the second amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children. they don't have to be incompatible.and we understand that most americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it's possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the statue of liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to ourshores. we can do both.and we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really what are you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you don't. maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of XX, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simply want to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change. each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school. you now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the lifeof our country. when you do that let me tell you what i know for sure. that's when your story gets really good. maya angelou always says "when you learn, teach. when you get, give. that my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning." so you all have the power in your own way to develop your own angel network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.i did it in an analog world. i was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day. now here in a world of twitter and facebook and youtube and tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. you're the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in XX. and when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you'd be too disappointed, you'd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in XX election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. that's who you are.this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar for can you say "" atharvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate.i know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic- an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy. i have to say that the single most important lesson i learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. most of us i tell you we don't want to be divided. what we want, the common denominator that i found in every single interview, is we want to be validated. we want to be understood. i have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question "was that okay?" i heard it from president bush, i heard it from president obama. i've heard it from heroes and from housewives. i've heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes. i even heard it from beyonce and all of her beyonceness. she finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says "was that okay?" friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchangei will tell you they all want to know one thing: was that okay? did you hear me? do you see me? did what i say mean anything to you? and even though this is a college where facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.that you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation. "there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light," says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary friday in december. so whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is i know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i firststarted because i had barbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbara and then one night i was on the news reading the news and i called canada can-a-da, and that was the end of me being barbara. i cracked myself up on tv. couldn't stop laughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be a much better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara.i know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those harvard credentials to the test. but no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. you want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you. theologian howard thurman said it best. he said "don't ask yourself what the world needs. ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who have comealive." the world needs-people like michael stolzenberg from fort lauderdale. when michael was just 8 years old michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet. and in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever. but in losing who he once was michael discovered who he wanted to be. he refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again. he joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the boston marathon bombing would become new amputees michael decided to banish that darkness with light. michael and his brother harris created to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees. by the time harris runs the XX boston marathon. more than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this boston community the way their community came together to support michael. and when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this "first they willbe sad. they're losing something they will never get back and that's scary. i was scared. but they'll be okay. they just don't know that yet." we might not always know it. we might not always see it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but i have faith that no matter what class of XX you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay. i have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change. i have faith because of david and francine wheeler, i have faith because of michael and harris stolzenberg and i have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today. one of them kadija williams who came to harvard four years ago. kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, wal-mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn't smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the harvard class of XX.from time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path but i know this,if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still small voice that is the within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay. you will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world. congratulations class of XX, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening. was that okay?相关推荐：珍藏记忆，给力未来—尚钢书记在毕业典礼上的讲话在高三毕业典礼上的致辞在国培通用技术毕业典礼上的发言在幼儿园大班毕业典礼上的园长致词警院老师毕业典礼上的发言在初三毕业典礼上的发言校长在中学XX届学生毕业典礼上的讲话学员代表在党校毕业典礼上的发言父亲在幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言在儿子幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言稿在毕业典礼上的发言比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿毕业生毕业典礼上的讲话在党校毕业典礼上的发言：在党性锻炼中升华人生价值青春万岁_在毕业典礼上的致辞。

在屈辱中学习成长1954年1月29日，奥普拉出生在美国南方的密西西比州的考斯休斯考，她是一个私生女，父亲当时在服兵役，母亲干些喂猪的杂活来养活自己和她。
没过多久，母亲就无法忍受这种生活，将她扔给了祖母，独自去了威斯康星州。
奥普拉的童年是在又脏又偏僻的农场里度过的。
那里鱼龙混杂，作为一个受人歧视的黑人小女孩，她9岁时不幸遭到了强奸，但苦难并没有结束，14岁时她跟男朋友曾生过一个孩子，孩子的父亲不闻不问，孩子生出来就死了。
一个14岁的孩子怎么承受得了这么沉重的命运，奥普拉开始自暴自弃，离家出走、偷钱，和比她大的男孩子厮混。
母亲看着女儿成了这样，无计可施，只好打电话给她的父亲，要他来接女儿。
由此，奥普拉的人生开始转折。
父亲弗农相信严格的家规和学习计划对小孩有好处，他为奥普拉订下了最高标准激励她追求卓越，他要求她在家里和学校都要做读书报告，每个星期都得熟记规定的英文单词。

他们的毕业演讲
他们的毕业演讲作者：暂无来源：《赢未来》 2013年第7期多少故事回想起，只剩开头和结局。
是的，没有多少人有耐心一遍一遍复述或者聆听那些琐碎冗长的过程，人们最关注的永远是故事是如何开始的，以及它有着怎样的结局。
那么，奥普拉·温弗瑞、J.K.罗琳、史蒂夫·乔布斯，他们的故事又是怎样开始的呢？奥普拉·温弗瑞：人生只有一个目标，那就是做真实的自己正如你们所知，我的电视生涯完全始于意外，那时候我参加了一个在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的比赛，在他们问我“小姐，你长大后想成为什么样的人”时，我说：“我想成为一名以与众不同的方式来讲述他人故事的记者。
”是的，我想成为记者，我想有所作为。
19岁时我站在了电视上，从1986年开始，我就以不懈的决心来开创自己的节目，并把自己作为最大的竞争对手来逼迫自己不断进步，最终这个节目风靡全球广受欢迎，为此我努力了25年。
《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》开创21年时，我的事业已经颇有成就，可我觉得应该去寻找新突破，所以果断结束《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》，推出奥普拉·温弗瑞电视网。
一年后，几乎所有媒体争相报道我的失败尝试。
的确，那是我职业生涯中最糟糕的时期，当福特斯校长打电话要求我来哈佛演讲，我问他这个时刻叫我演讲是正确的吗？难道要我在最优秀的学生面前说我事业失败了吗？沮丧的自己挂掉电话后开始思考，黎明前的黑暗是最痛苦的，但“麻烦终将被解决”。
我决定要扭转局势，重振旗鼓，事实上最后确实做到了！在你追求目标时可能会跌倒，当你在提升自己时，可能会遇到瓶颈，但世间并不存在“失败”，那不过是生活想让我们换个方向走罢了。
也许此时的你跌入谷底，你可以消沉一小段时间。
但你必须从错误中吸取教训，每一次沉重的失败，都将推动你去提升自己。
你的内心会告诉你方向是什么，瞄准一个目标并去实现它，就能获得真正的成功和快乐。
人生确实只有一个目标，那就是：最大程度地、最真实地展现自己。
奥普拉励志演讲稿中文
尊敬的各位来宾，亲爱的朋友们：大家好！今天，我站在这里，非常荣幸能够与大家分享我的故事，我的信念，以及我希望能够传递给你们的正能量。
我的名字是奥普拉·温弗瑞，一个曾经身处困境，如今站在世界舞台上的女性。
我想要告诉你们，无论你们现在身处何种境地，都有可能创造属于自己的奇迹。
一、从困境中走来我出生在美国密西西比州的一个小村庄，我的童年并不幸福。
我的父母在我很小的时候就离婚了，我跟着母亲相依为命。
母亲为了养家糊口，不得不做很多辛苦的工作。
在我12岁那年，母亲因为一场车祸不幸去世，我被迫离开学校，去帮助父亲和继母工作。
这段经历让我尝尽了生活的艰辛，但我从未放弃过对生活的热爱和对未来的憧憬。
我坚信，只要心中有梦想，就一定能够战胜一切困难。
二、勇敢追求梦想在我17岁那年，我决定离开家乡，去追求自己的梦想。
我来到孟菲斯，一个充满音乐和梦想的城市。
我白天在一家小餐馆打工，晚上则参加各种表演和演讲比赛，不断提升自己的能力。
经过无数次的尝试和努力，我终于在1984年，凭借一档名为《奥普拉·温弗瑞脱口秀》的节目，在电视界崭露头角。
节目以其独特的风格和内容，迅速赢得了广大观众的喜爱，我也因此成为了美国最受欢迎的电视主持人之一。
三、坚守信念，传递正能量在我的职业生涯中，我始终坚持自己的信念，用真诚和热情去感染每一位观众。
我关注社会问题，倡导女性权益，关注弱势群体，希望通过自己的努力，让这个世界变得更加美好。
在我的节目中，我邀请过无数的名人和普通人分享他们的故事，这些故事激励了无数人勇敢面对生活的挑战。
我相信，每个人都有自己的价值，每个人都有能力去改变自己的生活。
四、拥抱变化，不断前行在我的演讲中，我想特别强调一点：拥抱变化，不断前行。
这个世界变化太快，如果我们固步自封，就会被时代淘汰。
我们要学会适应变化，勇于挑战自己，才能在人生的道路上越走越远。
在我事业如日中天的时候，我曾经面临过很多挑战。
有时候，我会因为节目的收视率下降而感到焦虑，有时候，我会因为别人的质疑而失去信心。

她是私生子，却被母亲遗弃
奥普拉是一个私生子，从小跟妈妈一起生活。
难以置信的是，9岁时候，她受到了自己堂兄的侵犯，年幼的她默默忍受了。
不懂世事的她因为缺乏教育和管理，14岁那年，她意外怀孕了，连孩子的父亲是谁都不知道；更不幸的是，没过几年，孩子便早夭了，她又重归堕落。
她的童年生活，简直可以用悲惨来形容。
或许是因为私生子的关系，从小母亲便对她不好。
犯了一点小错便会受到母亲的责骂。
缺乏良好的教育，再加上母亲对她置之不理，恶性循环，小奥普拉一步步走向堕落。
她的母亲难以忍受她，便将她送到了父亲的身边。
可作为一个私生子，又是黑人，她又能有多好的待遇呢？
父亲和继母对她严加管教，有时候甚至以不学习不让吃饭来威胁她。
离开了抛弃她的母亲，好在坚强的她并未放弃自己，接受着这来之不易的改造机会。
她仿佛是个灰姑娘，可她没有绝美的面庞，没有好心的精灵，她只有自己。
于她而言，王子并不是改变人生的关键，她在功课上特别努力，并且最后考上了大学，赢得了田纳西州小姐的桂冠。
她在大众眼里确实并不美丽，甚至属于长得很丑的类型。
幸运的是，当时的评审看中了她的机智和才华。
认为她是一个可塑之才。
而这才华远远胜过光有美貌的其他人。
也正是她出色的口才，为她后来赢得了著名广播公司的青睐。
长得太丑，去整容都无人接收
毕业后的她很快有了一份工作，却并未得到她意料中的反馈，于是，她被调职了。
与此同时，她的领导要求她去整容，因为她的相貌不符合当时黑人美女的要求。
可悲并且无奈的是，连整容医生看到她的脸都觉得无药可救，不想给她做手术。
这看似幸运，却又像是赤裸裸的嘲讽。
然而成功怎会是朝夕之间的成就呢？
若容貌是阻碍，便用才华披荆斩棘，若挫折是机遇，便要越挫越勇。
看脸的时代又怎么样，她就算没有一张美脸照样可以活得很出色。
调职后的她更加发奋努力，很快她就掌握到了要领，迅速打响名气，成为红极一时的女主持人。
芝加哥美国广播公司也因此注意到了她，以23万美元的年薪将奥普拉招致麾下。
她是灰姑娘，但要当的是女将领，而不是公主
虽然她已经名声大噪，但是在那个时候，女人和黑人仍然是容易被看轻的。
传媒行业日新月异，倘若不创新，停滞不前，她很快就会被取代，这样的危机感促使着她对节目不断进行着改革。
在她眼中，传统从来都不是桎梏，而是用来被打破的东西。
第一个创新者总是面临着更多的阻碍，可她从未却步。
她渴望更成功、更优秀，她这位灰姑娘与生俱来就是要成为一名女将领，而非公主。
在她的节目里，也没有固定形式。
不是一对一面对镜头开始审问试的访谈，有时会布置成晚宴的形式，让参与的嘉宾能够做到完全放松和信任自己，当成自己久违的好友一样促膝长谈。
甚至每每在谈到自己的时候，也毫不避讳提及不堪回首的过去。
黑色玫瑰，也能发出耀眼光芒
“奥普拉脱口秀”成为她的个人品牌，直到今天一直占据着美国“脱口秀”节目的头把交椅。
她凭借个人魅力，邀请得了从不轻易上节目的流行天王迈克尔·杰克逊，而迈克尔也在她的节目中真正披露心声，甚至第一次坦言他的皮肤让人难以理解地变白，是因为罹患白癜风。
《我心永恒》的演唱者席琳·迪翁曾24次登上奥普拉脱口秀，美国总统奥巴马曾携夫人参加节目，第一夫人米歇尔的50岁生日，更是在奥普拉的别墅中度过的。
能够达到如此成就，已经可谓是人生赢家了。
多年的拼搏仿佛已经成为了惯性，她无法停下前进的脚步。
越是从黑暗中走出来
的人越是惧怕黑暗。
哪怕她敢于在节目中袒露自己混沌的过往，可是经历再怎样
久远，也会留下一抹疤痕。
可是坚毅的人，就能凭借自己的努力，让疤痕变为勋章。
拍电影、出书、做传媒
公司，她永远都没有停止脚步。
结交了世界名流，顺利跻身上层社会，获得各类
殊荣。
现在，再也没有人会嘲笑她长得丑。
就算曾经有再多的黑历史，现在也已
经靠自己的努力完全洗白。
那些黑历史不是她屈辱的过往，而是前行的动力。
对
大众来说，奥普拉已经是成功女人的典范，可是对她来说，成功始终是下一个目
的地。
一个人想要彻头彻尾、由内而外的改变，最重要的影响因素还是她自己。
“做一
件事最好的时机是十年前，其次是现在。
”当别人都否定你的时候，自己一定要
记得肯定自己。
终有一天，你的所有努力都会得到回报，即使不被大众所熟知，你也会成为你自己的英雄。
当你再回首，你会感谢当时不言放弃的自己。
