Lessons from Oprah Winfrey

She is called the most powerful woman in America, although the first six years of her life she spent not in a private mansion in rural backwoods. Her TV show is watched by millions of people, and once she was denied a contract for the presenter news. 

In her only marriage she spent twenty years old, became pregnant for the first time at fourteen. Make a show of personal life and everyone can but to become a popular TV presenter, but keep yourself as a woman perfectly turned out Oprah Winfrey.

Honesty and simplicity

Oprah Winfrey is famous throughout the world. What's her secret? With any person, whether it's the president of the United States or an ordinary housewife, she talks easily and honestly, not hiding behind verbal tinsel and psychological manipulation. Before Oprah everyone is equal she makes no distinction between businessmen and politicians, political criminals and school teachers. The key to it is the person himself, not the social roles. This is the motto she lives herself. If Oprah does not adhere to the rules of "simplicity and honesty", she would not have become the mistress of her life. Sincerity - one of her major talents.

Try to be honest with yourself and with your partner. Pay attention not only on the superficial communication, but also on the inner world of the man with whom you are dealing.

Be different

"Marriage is actually - the sacrifice of yourself for a relationship with someone. When I'm ready to put myself in a position, then I'll do it, "- said Oprah Winfrey. Interview she gives, never vary in directness and honesty from those of the author which it is in their shows. For a long time she did not dare to register a relationship with her fiance Graham Stedmanom because she was not sure that she could be a good wife and a professional TV presenter at the same time. After Oprah agreed, twenty years they lived, as they say, in peace and harmony, but then broke up. Now Oprah Winfrey is credited in love to Barack Obama or the childhood friend, Gayle King, blaming nonconventional orientation, but it is nothing more than speculation.

At the same time, Oprah can hardly be called a model of constancy - in youth she had many short-term romance. However, she believes that it is rather good.

"Dating - it's fun - she explains. - Even if he is not your prince. Take care that he sometimes missed ... When a man always know where you are, and you are always reachable - he takes it for granted. "

Therefore: every age - has its own activity, each period of time - their priorities. Do not limit your life by a man and  do not only focus your existence on him. Do not restrain yourself with too stereotyped behavior. If you want to be a flirty - be, a love - love of the soul. Do not be afraid to learn and  be open to new people. Maybe a new acquaintance, maybe he will not be your prince, but you can get a good and useful friend.

The past is in the past

As a child, Oprah was subjected molested by brothers, uncles and friends. In her opinion, it is "a perfect example of poor guy who got out of the dirt." The girl had run away from home and wander in search of shelter and sustenance. As a result of all the tribulations of a juvenile detention saved her early pregnancy, keep the baby from which also failed.

Despite such a traumatic experience, and maybe partly based on it, Oprah Winfrey, and was able to build their own destiny, and relationships with the opposite sex. 

However, an unpleasant experience, it is reasonable and ordered: men with strange reputation she dose not allow in her life. "Avoid men who have a bunch of kids from different women. He did not marry them when they made the children, why would he treat you differently? "- Asks herself and their audience Oprah.

So: do not be afraid to be wrong, be afraid to make the same mistake twice. The past can be a valuable resource for building new relationships, and just a material for art.









Know how to protect yourself

"No man will not dare break your heart." Such a statement once made ​​Oprah Winfrey. For a long time she was embarrassed her appearance and weight, not to mention the color of the skin. Could build a serious relationship, satisfied with fleeting connections and romances only for the way she spoke to satisfy her sexual hunger.

"The fear of loneliness - that's what makes many women stay in abusive relationships - says Oprah. - You should know - you are the best thing that could happen to any man, and if he mistreats you, he will lose a lot. If he is the first to draw attention to you, just know that he - not the only one. They're all watching you, so you have much choice. Make the right. Women take care of your heart! "

Power in the word

Once Oprah has mentioned in her talk show about mad cow disease, transmitting through a the beef. Of course, after all, the demand for meat products plummeted. American businessmen working in this area have suffered huge losses. One of her casually thrown recommendation makes books bestsellers, ordinary Americans - the famous and diet drinks with which Oprah could significantly lose weight instantly become deficit in the markets bought by the fans of the star.





Oprah Winfrey has proven by example that words have over the minds and hearts of the people the enormous power. It's unlikely that we'll find ourselves in a situation where our every word and gesture will monitor millions of people around the world, but still we should treat them carefully. What are we up to the rest of mankind, if our words hear most loved, the most valuable people. Their feelings and our relationship with them may suffer due to careless words thrown.

Therefore: always say what you think, but think what you say. Closest people are called because we in front of them and they are defenseless in front of us, without the usual armor of irony and social protections. As a teenager, and now, the correct text messages could cheer up to its highest pitch. It seems to be a couple of words, and how much happiness. Rate the power of words. Learn to communicate.

Believe in yourself

Thoughts on the global popularity and millions of fees come in every other head, but Oprah Winfrey was able to realize their dreams in life. A simple girl from the Negro ghetto, who grew up without a father. Who could have predicted that within a few decades she will be the star of America and the billionaire into the bargain? At the cost of hell to work, intuition and faith in herselve unable to Oprah Winfrey to achieve such success. 

She never changed her personality, adjusting to the requirements of others, did not go for short-term profits as in the construction of her career, and in relations


"Do not try to change yourself for a relationship that is not destined to emerge. Slowly - that's the surest way - tells Oprah in one of her shows. - Do not survive life for the sake of another man, first find what makes you truly happy. If your relationship ended because he did not behave decently, then you can not "be friends." A true friend would never mistreat a friend. "



Therefore, no one except you will not make you happy. Neither the car nor the man will not bring  you happinnes. Oprah Winfrey experience teaches us that only faith in yourself, calm self-confidence, the ability does not depend on the opinion of others, can give the basis for a strong relationship.
