subject: What Lessons We Can Learn From How Oprah Went From Poverty To Riches [print this page] If theres one person I admire, its OprahIf theres one person I admire, its Oprah. Heres a lady who has taken her wealth and has helped so many people, inspiring them, helping them change their lives around. But she wasnt always a billionaire. In fact, Oprah Winfrey at one time lived in a shack which didnt even have a bathroom. She had to use an outhouse. Compare that to her life now where she has several mansions all over the world.
She is a classic case of the American story, going from rags to riches. She had nothing but she kept dreaming, she kept going and even the terrible things that happened in her life she has turned into a positive by connecting with others and helping them see that they too can turn their lives around.
We have a lot of things to learn from Oprah and her life. We can learn how to surpass all hurdles and reach our ultimate goals, whatever they may be. We can learn to fight all odds and keep on going, no matter what.
She also teaches us how we should never be bogged down by our problems and we can be determined to achieve whatever we have set our mind to do. Her life is an inspiration for all who feel that they are unlucky. Oprah was born a poor woman at a time when Black Americans were treated as third class citizens. She easily could have thought of herself as unlucky. But she didnt. There is no such thing as unlucky and Oprah is living proof of that. There is no excuse for not succeeding.
