Other important things

Other important things

Prior to launching the Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah confidently predicted in a 1986 interview that her new show will “do well.” 

But what would it if it doesn’t do well? the journalist wondered out loud.

Then I will still do well, she shot back.

Because I am not defined by a show. 

I think we are defined by the way we treat ourselves and other people. 

It would be wonderful to be acclaimed as this talk show host who's made it,

But if that doesn't happen, there are other important things in life.

My takeaway…

Yes, it’s important to believe in yourself. 

And it’s equally important to remember that you are also defined by how you treat yourself and others.

And that’s more important than whether the project you’re currently excited about succeeds or fails.
