Oprah Winfrey | 5 Minutes For The NEXT 50 Years of Your LIFE


[Music]
all of you leaving here have the
potential for enormous success there’s a
price that comes with that first and
foremost knowing who you are knowing who
you are being able to answer this
question Who am I and what do I want I’m
asking the bigger question
[Music]
Who am I really and what do I want I
don’t want to just be successful in the
world
I don’t want to just make a mark or have
a legacy the answer to that question for
me is I want to fulfill the highest
truest expression of myself as a human
being
you must have some kind of vision for
your life even if you don’t know the
plan you have to have a direction in
which you choose to go you want to be in
the driver’s seat of your own life
because if you’re not life will drive
you knowing who you really are
you must find a way to serve Martin
Luther King said that not everybody can
be famous but everybody can be great
because greatness is determined by
service now we live in a world where
everybody wants to be famous
and where we admire people for just
being famous we think being known brings
us value the truth is all of that will
fade in time in three years you won’t be
able to name the housewives a banana the
real truth is that service and
significance service and the
significance that you bring to your
service is that which is lasting when
you shift the paradigm of whatever it is
you choose to do to service and you
bring significance to that success will
I promise you follow you service and
significance equals success here’s the
key learn from every mistake because
every experience encounter and
particularly your mistakes are there to
cheat you and force you into being more
of who you are and then figure out what
is the next right move what is your true
calling
all of you leaving here have the
potential for enormous success there’s a
price that comes with that people don’t
always like you and they’re not always
happy for you and if you surround
yourself with people who are not
accustom to your success they become
fearful they become scared because you
are reflecting back something to them
that they don’t recognize people who
want the best for you who want you to be
your best so my greatest advice to you
is to surround yourself with people who
are going to fill your cup until your
cup runneth over and what I know for
sure is that the biggest choices begin
and end with you your internal big
questions who do I want to be in the
world be excellent people notice let
excellence be your brand
everybody talks about building a brand I
never even knew what that was when
people say you’re a brand I would say no
I’m just Oprah what I recognize now is
that my choice
to it every way in every example in
every experience to do the right thing
and the excellent thing is what has
created the brand [Music]
