Oprah Winfrey's Biography

       

        Have you ever heard about Oprah Winfrey? I'm sure you did, nowadays no one doesn't know about her. She is known as a famous artist, a successful presenter, a singer, and also one of the most wealthiest woman in the USA at present. Orpah Gail Winfrey was born January 29, 1954 on the family farm in  Mississippi, but now goes by the name of Oprah.


        Although now she is one of the most successful woman in the world, her life was not perfect as I thought before. She has a grim memory when she was young, her parents separated.  At the age of 13, she suffered because of sexual abuse from her step-father until she ran away from home. She sustained a great pain in her early life. I feel very sorry and surprised when I heard about this, but I appreciate how she faced her problems.
 

        In my opinion she is a very strong woman because her poor experiences motivated her to do more than others, not to complain. From her, I learned that I should have a goal in my life, keep focus, and put a lot of effort in it. There is nothing that is instantly fall down from the sky, but I have to reach it step by step, and it is not an easy thing to do but I will keep trying and do my best.

        At the moment, Oprah Winfrey is one of the wealthiest women in the United States of America. Even though she has reached a top position, but I see that she continues to influence and inspire people worldwide to achieve great success in financially, spiritually and socially. And I think that is awesome, I learn that I should not get satisfied easily and always want to do better.

       Why she became my idol? Because I really adore her spirit and her way of thinking in facing life. There is so many things that I can learn from her, maybe theory is easy but to do it in real life is hard. That I should not get down and do nothing when bad incidents happened to me, but I have to make it as a motivation to get a better life. I should try to change myself first, not my environment. Her life story makes me think and realize a lot of things. So, is there a reason not to follow her? Just be thankful of what you have, make a goal, and never give up!
