The one thing that I have always believed in is that learning from another person's life experiences is just as significant as learning from your own. It is not mere words that one utters when giving advice, but something that they felt in that "aha!" moment of theirs that changed their lives for the better or sometimes worse which could inspire you to know better, do better and be better. If you really (and I mean REALLY) get what they saying, Take it! Use it! Never forget it!
I am inspired daily in life by quotes and sayings. One such person whose words have lead me to many "aha!" moments is the queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey.
Yes, she truly is the queen of talk! Whether it is asking the hardest questions, going to the hardest hit places or most importantly just being a fellow human, Oprah knows how to touch one's soul. My admiration for her over the years has been undying.
In honor of this great woman, here is some of her wisdom that to keep in mind and use at all times:
In honor of this great woman, here is some of her wisdom that to keep in mind and use at all times:
- I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.
- Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
- You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
- The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
- Use your life to serve the world.
After all...
When you know better, you do better.
