At some point in your career people stopped and listened to what you had to say and it all comes down to your story. To what you have encouraged today above and beyond... AUTHENTICITY!

    The greatness of this lady is her vulnerability. She uses that to connect with everyone and disarm them completely. An eloquent speaker, driven with an acute sense of purpose, she had it all before she came to Harvard. And yet, she is so unassuming and says the Harvard graduates are better off than most - and then cautions them saying they will all face difficulties in the journey of life, but if they follow through with the moral compass within themselves, they will emerge from a temporary setback to become more of who they are and they will be ok. Amazing pointer for young ones starting out, regardless of who they are. Ms. Winfrey, you sure did ok ;-) Thank you.

    Negative and bitter people are always looking for the negativity in things...but people who have goals and dreams take speeches like this and allow it to resonate with their dreams and ambitions. Regardless of her occupation, her purpose of this speech is to inform others that they can become whatever they work hard to become!!!

If she is a British subject she would be awarded the OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth 11 or preferebly by King Charles 111.

    I look to these videos to learn life lessons, and quite possibly others got lessons that relate to them, but the only hard education I got from Oprah's speech is to make your resume the story of who you want to be and the reinforcement of finding happiness within the highest, most truthful expression of the self. Besides that, it seems like a regular Oprah show.

    This was my graduation and it's the first time I saw the "Oprah effect." When she was up there receiving her degree one, of the professors hugged her and another one was like "wait...we can hug Oprah?? So then they all did it with these huge grins. It was a sight to see because even though in this speech she shows her admiration for Harvard, in the beginning it was the other way around. To see these professors in awe of her was kind of amazing. Disclaimer: that day was hot as hell, and as amazing as I knew this would be, I had to leave early for water and A/C. I saw this on TH-cam the next day like everyone else! Lol

    Oprah Winfrey is truly an inspiration to us all. I enjoy watching the Harvard TH-cam videos of commencement speakers who share their testimonies of failures and success because some how I feel connected to them by our passion to want to help make a difference within society.
    Although I am almost as old as gray, which means I am probably older than most of the dreamers who dream to go to Harvard, my dream to be a civil rights lawyer is still ignited. My unfortunate experience which resulted to circumstances I would not wish for anyone was by no means the fault of my own. However, I thank my offenders for their offenses against me because in the midst of it all, I discover my passion for law.
    I developed an interest in reading and learning about the purpose of why laws are written and how they govern issues. I discover how the law can be used to make a difference to resolve offenses, and hold offenders accountable for their unlawful offenses. I want to make a difference within the surrounding communities where I am lead because I feel alive to be an advocate. Harvard Law school is my dream school. God bless Oprah Winfrey, the Harvard staff and faculty, and most importantly congratulations to all the graduates of all classes! Thanks for sharing! 🥳🎉🎊

    It's just a school.... Math is math, science is science, english is english anywhere you go in the world. The beauty of education does not lie in the institution you go but in the desire to learn and make use of what you learn.

      austin darling Actually I don't think there's much difference between the cost of university's at least around the top few. And there are a lot of subsidies plus most of the top few institutions accept students based on merit and not background. So the more drive to learn you show, the higher chances you have of getting into a good school and using better facilities to quench your thirst for knowledge :D
      There really is not much brainwashing going on here. The concept is fair and simple. There are financial incentives too, if you can't afford a good school like say Harvard.

    So many times in my life the wisdom that I hear accept and even share from Oprah and many of the folks who have been on her show as I’d have brought to forefront because of that … and because of that that I have been able to hear them and understand and learn …
    I am so grateful
    I am so thankfully blessed
    I am channeling all the wonderful energy that is from the higher frequencies of the universe now and I am sharing it

      But don’t worry! You can see the history by yourself that most powerful and magnificent people have never gone to schools or named colleges.It’s your self study ,self realisation and self actualisation that makes you who you are.eg.ELON MUSK,OPRAH WINFREY......
