She walked into the door of CBS. Once the door is opened, no one can close it.

In a humorous speech with missionary color lasting for two and a half hours, Oprah told the audience about her personal struggle history and how she adjusted her mentality to make herself stronger in the face of poverty, obesity and career setbacks. When talking about career issues, Oprah said: "Life often has a huge inertia, which makes people keep silent in front of their existing jobs. At this time, we should ask ourselves, is this the job you want and what job is best for you? Then listen to your inner voice. " Oprah also gave her own example. Since she became a TV interview host in Chicago from 65438 to 0984, she "really found the passion and feeling of work". Oprah advises her admirers from time to time that when heavy work can't bring them rich rewards, they should give it up and pursue their dream job. Everyone should listen to the "inner call". Only those who believe in themselves can become strong in life and career. "If you believe that one day you can be president, maybe one day you can get it." Oprah said.

As a black man, Oprah's childhood life is no different from others. She was born in 1954, a single-parent family in Mississippi, southern United States. Her life is extremely difficult, and she is in a state of wandering almost all day. Like other black teenagers, Oprah has indulged herself. In her future gold medal program "The oprah winfrey Show", oprah winfrey once confessed her disgraceful history in front of 33 million viewers: taking drugs, having an abortion, and even giving birth to a dying baby girl. Oprah's biological father once said to his daughter, "Some people make things happen, some people watch them happen, and some people don't even know what happened." So Oprah, who is extremely empty, wants to know what her life will be like. Oprah has natural speaking skills and good memory since she was a child. She found that her words could easily arouse other people's emotions, so when 17 years old, Oprah first took part in a local beauty contest, and then, with her impeccable eloquence and good luck, she was hired as an amateur news announcer by a local radio station when 19 years old, and set foot in the media industry from then on. After graduating from college, Oprah became an official announcer of a TV station in Baltimore. However, her early TV career was not smooth. Because Oprah can't keep an objective and neutral attitude when broadcasting news, her mood often changes with the content of the broadcast, which often leads to criticism from the audience. Fortunately, she had a good eye for pearls in Taiwan Province, and arranged a morning talk show for her, which made her feel at home and soon became a famous local hostess.

Different from ordinary talk shows, the invited guests of oprah winfrey show are not experts or scholars in a certain field, but ordinary people, and the topics discussed are also focused on personal life. In order to inspire guests to "tell the truth", Oprah often tells each other some of her secrets. When the guest's story is touching, she will cry with the guest. Compared with other programs, Oprah Winfrey Show is more direct, frank and personalized, so it is very popular with middle-aged people who have nothing to do at home during the day, especially middle-aged women, who are the mainstream crowd watching TV programs. When Oprah's career was booming, she met another person who changed her fate-Jeff Jacobs, who was just an unknown lawyer in Chicago. Jeff reminds Oprah that she can't really succeed just by working for others. She should start her own company. So, 1986, the two of them co-founded Harper Entertainment Group (Harper is the inversion of Oprah's name). The company is led by Jeff Jacobs and owns 10% of the shares. Oprah is the chairman and owns 90% of the shares. The company regularly produces "oprah winfrey Show" and sells it to various TV stations. Under Jeff's careful care, Harper Group achieved rapid success. By 200 1, the operating income of oprah winfrey Show alone reached $300 million. There is also a remarkable "Oprah Reading Club".

Oprah tries to do everything by herself, regardless of details. In 2000, Harper Group began to publish a magazine called O. According to the editor of the magazine, "Before the magazine goes to press, Oprah will read every word carefully and check every picture thoroughly. When there is no program, she stays in front of the computer in the office. She can work from 3 pm on Monday to 8 pm on Thursday, and then she won't let go of a punctuation mark all day last Friday. " As a result, in just one year, the monthly circulation of the magazine reached 2.5 million copies, and it took five years for the most successful magazines in the past to achieve this result.

[Edit this paragraph] Both praise and praise.
Oprah winfrey talk show hosted by American TV station attracts 7 million TV viewers every day, while Struggle, a magazine co-sponsored by her and Hearst Group, a famous American newspaper and magazine publisher, has more than 22 million readers all over the world. Oprah's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of American audiences, and her position in the eyes of Americans may only be matched by American modern religious instructors deepak Chopra and Stephen Covekan. In recent years, Oprah has been instilling in the audience how to sublimate her spirit and how to change her ideas. While winning many admirers, she also attracted a lot of criticism. Someone even gave her a nickname: "deepak Oprah", which means that she doesn't want to be a pure talk show host, but wants to be a spiritual mentor like deepak Oprah. "She probably thinks she is the Prophet Messiah and wants to guide each of us to heaven." American writer Barbara? Grizzuti Harrison said. Abt, a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and an expert in American studies, said: "She oversimplified all kinds of complicated contradictions in real life. When people listen to her speech for the first time, they may be inspired by some passion, but when the methods she provides can't solve various practical problems in real life, they will only be more depressed and disappointed. "
[Edit this paragraph] She made countless American women regain their lost confidence.
Although people have different views on Oprah, in the eyes of many Americans, Oprah is still an excellent woman. "In my eyes, she is an ordinary person like us. When she communicated with me, I felt that she was like a good friend of mine. " Cheryl Pierce, a 36-year-old sales representative, told reporters that since the hysterectomy last year, the whole person has fallen into sadness and despair, and life seems to have turned gray. It was Oprah's previous programs and speeches that made her completely recover from depression. Gloria Burroughs, another old "Oprah fan", said that it was Oprah's program that put her divorced life on the right track and gained a "new life". "Oprah's life is an example. She overcame many difficulties and achieved success in her career and life. If she can do it, I believe we can do it. " Not long ago, Onda Russell was an alcoholic who lived a degenerate life. However, since watching Oprah's program, she has changed her way and taken on a new look. She not only gave up the old habit of drinking, but also spent $24 to subscribe to the magazine Struggle sponsored by Oprah. At the same time, she also subscribed to several other books as gifts for her mother, grandmother and three friends, hoping that they could draw some strength from them. Now Winfrey, as a black woman, is one of the most influential women in the world, and her personal net worth has reached 1 100 million dollars. No one knows where this single woman who is over fifty will make great strides. Oprah's influence is unprecedented. As a black woman, she canvassed for Obama, held parties and held various receptions, and Obama's votes increased by one million. Her interview with Tom Cruise and her interview with Michael Jackson created the myth of viewing, which has not been broken so far. Such a legendary woman will definitely bring us more surprises!
