Truly Inspiring! I almost made myself cry..

Hear everything Oprah had to say to more than 4,000 Stanford University graduates on Sunday, June 15 2008, here.

I love almost everything she had said and quoted..

“The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.” – B.B. King

“To move forward, you have to give something back.” – Oprah Winfrey

“When you’re doing the work you were meant to do, it feels right. And everyday is a bonus, regardless of what you’re getting paid. And how do you know when you’re doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What i know now is that feeling is really your GPS system for life. When you’re supposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.” – Oprah Winfrey

“.. but having a lot of money doesn’t automatically make you a successful person. What you want is money and mean. You want your work to be meaningful. Because meaning is what brings the real richness to your life. What you really want is to be surrounded by the people you trust and treasure and by the people who cherish you. That’s when you’re really rich.” – Oprah Winfrey

“Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
