A lot has been written about Oprah, the ultimate queen of media. I myself am a big fan of Oprah Winfrey and I admire her generosity and kindness to the people who, in one way or another have touched her life, as well as to people who she wanted to influence in a good way.This is the main reason I bought the book, Oprah Winfrey's Inspirational Life Story. Not only did I get to learn about Oprah's childhood and struggles, I was able to get a good grasp of the valuable lessons she herself learned as she grew up and rose to be among the most powerful women in history. Sure, she was not perfect, she was like other women who had suffered under the hands of her family members, sexually harassed even, gotten pregnant at an early age, etc. But through the years, these tribulations got her to what she had achieved now.I think I was just Oprha-fied after reading this inspirational book. I actually remembered the Favorite Things episodes from her Oprah WInfrey Show where she gave cars to the audience. That was really amazing of her! I loved the quotes she had shared to the world, specifically this one: "What I know is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come." And "failure is a stepping stone to greatness". Like Oprah, I believe that these failures will only strengthen us to become a better person of the future. I highly recommend this book, not only to Oprah fans, but to everyone who want to get inspired about life.
