Oprah Winfrey Reflection

929 Words4 Pages

To begin, the video that I found to be the most engaging was the one involving Oprah Winfrey, and that is simply because I was interested in the person being interviewed as well as the topics of career and life that are discussed by Winfrey as well which are of great importance to me going forward in life.

She talks about how hard it was for her because she was young at the time and often didn’t take criticism the right way, but as time passed by she realized the discomfort you’re feeling now is simply because you haven’t found your actual purpose yet, or better yet as she says in the video, “you don’t know what you want to be validated as in your life”, meaning that I simply just don’t know yet about what I might actually want to do with my life yet. I have to create my own stage, or create my own lane going forward because in doing so I will find my true life’s potential, or what my life was destined to
