There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.Oprah Winfrey, talk show host and media entrepreneur, addresses graduates at Harvards 362nd mencement on May 30, 2013.Oh my goodness! Im at Harvard! Wow! To President Faust, my fellow honorands, Carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson, Harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend Dr. Henry Lewis Gates.All of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.And to you, members of the Harvard class of 2013! Hello!I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the mencement of your next chapter. To say that Im honored doesnt even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really acpanies an honorary doctorate from Harvard. Not too many little girls from rural Mississippi he made it all the way here to Cambridge. And I can tell you that I consider today as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, I consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey. My one hope today is that I can be a source of some inspiration. Im going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad.Actually I was so honored I wanted to do something really special for you. I wanted to be able to he you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but I see you got that covered already. I will be honest with you. I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to e up with something that I could share with you that you hadnt heard before because after all you all went to Harvard, I did not. But then I realized that you dont he to necessarily go to Harvard to he a driven obsessive Type A personality. But it helps. And while I may not he graduated from here I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they e. You know my television career began unexpectedly. As you heard this morning I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest. That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee and you had the requirement of hing to he red hair in order to win up until the year that I entered. So they were doing the question and answer period because I knew I wasnt going to win under the swimsuit petition. So during the question and answer period the question came Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up? And by the time they got to me all the good answers were gone. So I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered I would like to be a journalist. I would like to tell other peoples stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world. And as those words were ing out of my mouth I went whoa! This is pretty good! I would like to be a journalist. I want to make a difference. Well I was on television by the time I was 19 years old. And in 1986 I launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first. I was nervous about the petition and then I became my own petition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. Sound familiar to anybody here? Eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years.The Oprah Winfrey Show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and I he to tell you I became pretty fortable with that level of success. But a few years ago I decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground. So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey work. The initials just worked out for me. So one year later after launching OWN nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. Not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it. I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today and read the headline Oprah, not quite standing on her OWN. I mean really, USA Today? Now thats the nice newspaper! It really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life. I was stressed and I was frustrated and quite frankly I was actually I was embarrassed. It was right around that time that President Faust called and asked me to speak here and I thought you want me to speak to Harvard graduates? What could I possibly say to Harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding? So I got off the phone with President Faust and I went to the shower. It was either that or a bag of Oreos. So I chose the shower. And I was in the shower a long time and as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me. You may not know it. Its By and by, when the morning es. And I started thinking about when the morning might e because at the time I thought I was stuck in a hole. And the words came to me Trouble dont last always from that hymn, this too shall pass. And I thought as I got out of the shower I am going to turn this thing around and I will be better for it. And when I do, Im going to go to Harvard and Im going to speak the truth of it! So Im here today to tell you I he turned that work around!
