Facts

The greatness of this lady is her vulnerability. She uses that to connect with everyone and disarm them completely. An eloquent speaker, driven with an acute sense of purpose, she had it all before she came to Harvard. And yet, she is so unassuming and says the Harvard graduates are better off than most - and then cautions them saying they will all face difficulties in the journey of life, but if they follow through with the moral compass within themselves, they will emerge from a temporary setback to become more of who they are and they will be ok. Amazing pointer for young ones starting out, regardless of who they are. Ms. Winfrey, you sure did ok ;-) Thank you.

Negative and bitter people are always looking for the negativity in things...but people who have goals and dreams take speeches like this and allow it to resonate with their dreams and ambitions. Regardless of her occupation, her purpose of this speech is to inform others that they can become whatever they work hard to become!!!

The first thing she says, makes you willing to listen to what she has to say. Her state of mind really is powerful.

Oprah, Your strength and humanity, your ability to relate is without a doubt a true gift to the world. At some point in your career people stopped and listened to what you had to say and it all comes down to your story. To what you have encouraged today above and beyond... AUTHENTICITY!

This was my graduation and it's the first time I saw the "Oprah effect." When she was up there receiving her degree one, of the professors hugged her and another one was like "wait...we can hug Oprah?? So then they all did it with these huge grins. It was a sight to see because even though in this speech she shows her admiration for Harvard, in the beginning it was the other way around. To see these professors in awe of her was kind of amazing. Disclaimer: that day was hot as hell, and as amazing as I knew this would be, I had to leave early for water and A/C. I saw this on KZread the next day like everyone else! Lol

Truly inspirational... Very Nostalgic.... Straight fro heart....These are not mere words...these are the gems collected after speaking to thousands of people...

such a well rounded speech, structurally speaking. and so inspiring at the same time. there are wisdom in there. magnificent

Thank you.. I really needed it to listen to this not 5 years ago but today... timing is perfect. Must watch again

I look to these videos to learn life lessons, and quite possibly others got lessons that relate to them, but the only hard education I got from Oprah's speech is to make your resume the story of who you want to be and the reinforcement of finding happiness within the highest, most truthful expression of the self. Besides that, it seems like a regular Oprah show.

Oprah is a phenomenal orator. I mean no surprises there haha but still! She’s just too good at connecting with people 🥰

WOW, one of the best commencement speeches ever from one of the best speakers ever.

Thank you Oprah...you have inspired my entire life. I'm still working on it. I love you and send love and prayers to you and yours xoxxo

I can’t stop watching this , she speaks so powerful

Oprah is such a great speaker & always adds humor to give it a light feel. Everyone can relate to her because she isn't stiff or formal. She makes you think!

A great way to spend some free time...free advice from Oprah and others as I watched several memorable commencement speeches.

Another touching speech, I can tell she is about to burst into tears.

Admirable 🌹Theres so much one can learn she’s mentally graceful kind and empathetic it’s her sensitivity towards humanity and the realisation that life has a purpose 🌷So inspiring 🌻

When I see Oprah, I see my mother. Growing up in Zambia 🇿🇲 my mother used to watch her shows whenever it was on TV. Now, I see what my mom saw in her.

Oprah, your words hit home for me... Wow I'm watching this in 2022 when I needed this speech to know that we all fail sometimes its learning from it.

I use her speech for my listening practice in class. I absolutely adore her speech. ♥️

The miracle of successful person is the true achievement of great leadership.

Wow this speech really touched me! Thank you so much. I recently downloaded an app called perfectly happy visualization, and it really motivates me, especially on those days where I'm lacking. And now I found this speech! Couldn't be happier and more focused

And there are a lot of subsidies plus most of the top few institutions accept students based on merit and not background. So the more drive to learn you show, the higher chances you have of getting into a good school and using better facilities to quench your thirst for knowledge :D There really is not much brainwashing going on here. The concept is fair and simple. There are financial incentives too, if you can't afford a good school like say Harvard.

Oprah Winfrey is truly an inspiration to us all. I enjoy watching the Harvard KZread videos of commencement speakers who share their testimonies of failures and success because some how I feel connected to them by our passion to want to help make a difference within society. Although I am almost as old as gray, which means I am probably older than most of the dreamers who dream to go to Harvard, my dream to be a civil rights lawyer is still ignited. My unfortunate experience which resulted to circumstances I would not wish for anyone was by no means the fault of my own. However, I thank my offenders for their offenses against me because in the midst of it all, I discover my passion for law. I developed an interest in reading and learning about the purpose of why laws are written and how they govern issues. I discover how the law can be used to make a difference to resolve offenses, and hold offenders accountable for their unlawful offenses. I want to make a difference within the surrounding communities where I am lead because I feel alive to be an advocate. Harvard Law school is my dream school. God bless Oprah Winfrey, the Harvard staff and faculty, and most importantly congratulations to all the graduates of all classes! Thanks for sharing! 🥳🎉🎊
