Oprah Said This to The Class of 2018

Oprah Winfrey gave a commencement speech at the University of Southern California, Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism this week and had some pretty insightful things to say.

She told the class, “Your job is not always going to fulfill you. There will be some days that you just might be bored, other days you might not feel like going to work at all — go anyway.”

She explained, “Your job is not who you are, it’s just what you’re doing on the way to who you will become.”

“Every remedial chore, every boss who takes credit for your ideas — that is going to happen — look for the lessons because the lessons are always there,” she said. “And the number one lesson I can offer you where your work is concerned is this: Become so skilled, so vigilant, so flat-out fantastic at what you do that your talent cannot be dismissed.”
