Oprah Winfrey, global media leader and philanthropist, spoke to the Class of 2008 at Stanford's 117th Commencement on June 15, 2008. Winfrey drew on experiences from a career that began in 1976 when she co-anchored a television newscast, and she shared three lessons about feelings, failure and finding happiness.

Whenever you are unsure of yourself, connect to TH-cam and watch this video.
from me of the past to me of the future.
I have been watching this video over 50th times. At the first time when Im watching this one , I couldnt understand well. But now I can understand better than before. I still dont get some part, but I ll keep watching it. And the part I most like is when she said " The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody cant take that from away you"
I m struggling to study English everyday. I ll not give up when Im learning something, I ll make it mine.
Gotta love her self-deprecating humor.
How are you?
Wow, she's so amazing and I like her speech very much.
An awesome speech, indeed. Absolutely empowering.
The 200th comment!
Thank you so much Oprah , your speech was just the thing I wanted to hear
That was an awesome speech. Thank you for your wisdom...
I totally agree with you! I thought i was being overly sensitive when i cried listening to her speech but it's Oprah's inspirational and words of encouragement that made me teared. She IS such an amazing, AMAZING woman. I wish i could meet and sit down and talk to her. She is such a wise person...
I just want to say that I really enjoyed Oprah's speech.
She reminds me of my supervisor at BCDC. Incredibly insightful, brilliant and down to earth. It's rare to work with folks like that, but when you do it changes your life.
What an amazing human being! They don't get any better.
Yes indeed. She is my favorite. Great woman.
A wonderful speech, for those who chose to live in the light...

She is enlightening. I did not have the same type of guidance as Oprah but everything is coming into everything. I am en route to being the next millionaire. Thanks for sharing your wisdom O....!
What an amazing speech!
Oprah is so amazing. I love her way of life!
i had really learned from here.. she is the best..
The best advice ever!! Love the advice about following our feelings, and "getting still" when in doubt. Also love her episode about getting fired from a job for being "too emotional," and yet becoming one of the most successful women ever.
very inspiring speech!!!!!
congratulations Stanford class of 08. some of the brightest minds on the planet i'm sure.
she is awesome!
Oprah is saving Lives 2022
Wickedly funny speeech, informative, hilarious with sarcasm and straight to the point!
...because it's Oprah! 🤩
i love you oprah..i like your speech ...super nice
I really love her
Oprah Winfrey on the "GREATEST SPEECH OF ALL TIME."Thanks Oprah!
Wow, How Powerful and Sweet message it is!
i agree many parts.
(charity mind often makes you feel HAPPY and STRONG. does*t it?)
Thank you for sharing this to us!
Define your definition of DEEP!!! Sometimes it's the simple things that impact people the most. To me it was the best speech I've ever heard.
You explained this really well! 😄
Thanks for the great points about how the simplest things is what impacts people the most!
I'll remember this for next time!
omg i was there! my cousin was graduatng! it was such a cool time and i want to go to stanford university like her. she inspires me like oprah does to others. my cousin was on tv for being the only person from her school to go to Stanford. go hispanic pride!
Did you go to Stanford?
i am so glad she spoke to the school. i'm glad she admitted to crying.
despite all of her name dropping and quoting, she is a real person. we all do that. we all learn.
we are all fallible. even oprah.
q palabras tan emotivas e inspiradoras q ella dice, hace que tu reflexiones y pienses sobre errores q pueden ser facilmente solucionados, que chevere persona es ella, es una entre un millon
c/o of 2008 Stanford is so lucky!
You are right Oprah that you mean look inside and trust your instinct and intuition. Accept the warning signs. Good lesson. I always feel my situation that it is not right. It is not Ok. And more I am patient and the more it gets worse. When I trust my feelings, It is right decision to avoid bad situations.
Thank you Oprah.
17 sec this is were It make me cry! Always believe in are self💃🏽🙏🏾
BRILLIANT!
It's 2020 and the views & likes are keep rolling
I will keep this commencement address for good , I think it actually helped me a lot.
Especially, I got stock with my MBA program. I thought I gonna finish this semester first and travel alone to meet different people. I thought live ar the present and find the joy of your life matters more than getting that dipoma on time.
wow amazing
She's not arrogant, that's why she is well respected. There are lots of powerful people who don't get nearly as much respect.
Big Fan of Oprah. I think its very cool someone finally wrote this book. "You Have A College Degree, Now What?" was released last month. Spotted it on Amazon.
Profound
@nicole1007n i totally agree! :) she has a lot of wisdom! i loved watching her very final episode of her tv show also... it was really good to watch.
✨💫✨Felt so good ✨💫✨😊
I am a sixty year old U.S.C., U.C.L.A. graduate. I listen to this speech often and I learn something new from one of the most successful black women in history.
I remember from my speech classes before many of you were born, the first part of a speech is to get peoples attention, usually with comedy. It is appropiate to focus on Kirby because she is a 2008 Standford graduate and Oprah godchild. I find what Oprah said relative funny. I mean "sort of."
Who just "sort of" know Oprah
very inspirational
love u oprah.........simply awesome...............hope i was there........i would have taken admission in stanfords had i known u will be the commencement speaker.......lolzzzzzz
James you should be so lucky. Sir an education from this school is excellent! May I suggest Hal Urban. The author's book is truly inspirational. James once you read it. Surely you will understand that life has many lessons attached to it. I learned much from this book. As Oprah mentioned we live in the "me" generation. You can share your talents in so many ways with society. Truly if you can survive this school. Your skill sets and education can be of much value to all! Good luck.
All Hail Oprah!
I am glad she quoted Dr. King.
14:14 When you are doing the work you meant to do: It feel right and every days feels like a bonus regardless of what you are being payed.
Wissest words 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
@matling
The content of a good book is more valuble than any car!
the greatest speaker is the greatest miserable person in his/her life ever. . . and the most influential ones.

wao.........i feel as if i know her values..thanks for sharing
If I remember correctly from forty years ago when I studied speech, the first part of a speech is to get peoples attention. Its appropriate to talk about Curby since she is a graduate of the class 2008.
OPRAH business is talking, although how elegant. Have you notice that most commencement speakers are wealthy and heavy philantropists. Its expensive to attend Stanford, however , Oprah probably have made contributions to help maintain the status of that University.
I remember when she spoke @ Connecticut
Inspirational
I personally don't care if she talked about Kirby that much because I don't live in a perfect world where celebrities don't get extra recognition. I am a huuuuge fan of Oprah because of her wonderful and generous spirit and would have been honored just to have her share her wisdom with me.
she is beautiful inside and out. and that guy sitting behind her laughs at allher jokes. ADORBZ
Love the reaction of the girl at 17:24 :D
GO STANFORD
@Vivamamaafrika This isn't a competition. I'm going to watch Jobs' one in a minute, but Oprah's really spoke to me. I found it very enlightening and wise. You can tell she's been there and seen it.
i agree
good speech
She is. But she does give a lot.
Wow, so many cynical replies to this speech I've read so far.
It just appears to me that someone who can be cynical about such an inspiring, goodhearted and valuable speech is exactly the same person who should take notice from it's content most.
Oprah Winfrey is so inspirational, god bless her :-)
“speech to the young… speech, to the progress toward…” praise god-kanye west-donda
i've never been a fan of Oprah's, lets' just say im not her demo....but i found this to be very inspiring.
@woah455 she is amazing
The secret of life is giving......
yeah she is
I love u oprahhhh ♥
Thank yooou Oppi, Ilove you too, peace and love, Doug :).
congratulations
I listen to many of your speeches, discussions, debates, and talks, in which I found that most of the conclusions were unrelated to the clear, direct and simple observations that you used as verifications.
Good day
@SPMNDK89 why can't you just say "watch Jobs speech" like maraianazhovnirenko did? btw - her speech has been up for how long? and Jobs has been up for how long?
@rokyourbody She mentions Kirby to show she has a personal connection with the graduates , to show this isn't just a throw away speech , that it means something to her , it was entirely relevant to open the speech that way.
I just want to ask what was the title of her speech?I badly need it for my research
wish i were there
I would love a book as a present
BEcause she is successful and not average...Every person strives to be successful, thats part of living....She has accomplished her goals, and the low to middle class obviously havent...Shes teaching the students how to be successful, so dont criticize her just cause shes living her dreams....
I love that girl texting 3:37.
i love oprahs hair!!!
