Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey, for sure, is
the most recognized African-American women in the world. Her success is both
fascinating and inspiring. A talk-show host, an entrepreneur, actress, she is undoubtedly,
one the America’s most influential women.
Her childhood was not easy,
but Oprah had an absolute belief that her life would change. And today’s Oprah has shown the world that no
matter what beginning in life you have had, is who you’ll become later in life
that counts the most.
And
today Oprah is not only a successful business woman, producer and actress,
founder of the”O, the Oprah magazine”, but also a philanthropist.
Oprah
has succeeded in several areas, but she is widely known as a host of a day-time
talk-show. What makes her show so popular and loved not only across America but
around the world? On her shows Oprah talks about days or ordinary people, their
problems, conflicts and personal achievements and that touches hearts of
millions of viewers.
Curiously,. while Oprah
Winfrey was co-anchoring the evening news in Baltimore, an assistant news
director decided that her hair was "too thick" and sent her to an
expensive New York City salon for a makeover-with disastrous results. A botched
permanent left her completely but temporarily bald, and she was forced to cover
her scalp with a scarf. Although she cried "constantly," she found in
the ordeal an opportunity for self-discovery, admitting in a Ms. magazine
interview, "You learn a lot about yourself when you're bald."
Her
advice to young entrepreneurs is to "Follow your instincts," as she
says in a Ladies Home Journal magazine article. As well, she advises to take every conflict and every experience and learn from it.
