The three things that I want to leave with you, just these three, I could do ten, I could do a whole life class.

Future simple

But just these three things will carry you if you let them.

Being able to answer this question, who am I and what do I want?

I'm asking the bigger question of who am I?

I am, as Pierre de Chardin said, a spiritual being having a human experience.

Come trailing the breath of the ancestors yet, but trailing the breath of the angels.

And understanding that because I am connected to the source of all that is, all that is possible is possible for me.

I don't want to just be successful in the world.

I don't want to just make a mark or have a legacy.

The answer to that question for me is I want to fulfill the highest, truest expression of myself as a human being.

I want to fulfill the promise that the creator dreamed when he dreamed the cells that made up me.

You must have some kind of vision for your life.

Even if you don't know the plan, you have to have a direction in which you choose to go.

What I've learned is that's a great metaphor for life.

You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you're not, life will drive you.

So, knowing who you really are in this space and time that we embody, that's number one.

Number two, you must find a way to serve.

Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous, but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service.

Now, we live in a world where everybody wants to be famous and where we admire people for just being famous.

The truth is all of that will fade in time.

In three years, you won't be able to name the housewives of Atlanta.

The real truth is that service and significance, service and the significance that you bring to your service is that which is lasting.

So, to be able to whatever your occupation or job or talent or gift is, our honorees today getting doctor degrees, two apparently opposite fields, HIV and AIDS and the spoken word.

But what they have in common is service, using the spoken word in service to community and the world.

Using your knowledge and information about HIV and AIDS and medicine in service to the world.

And if you look at all the most successful people in the world, whether they know it or not, they have that paradigm of service.

Everybody's talking about Mark Zuckerberg and IPO.

Service. JZ Rapid. Service. Through the word, to people, through song.

For many years, I was really just happy to be on TV and people would stop and say, oh, you on TV? Yeah, I'm on TV.

And it was about the time that I received my honorary doctorate from Spelman around 1993.

So, I don't know if that had something to do with it. I thought of myself as Dr. Winfrey.

Then I went back and I took a long look at what it was I was doing on TV and made a decision that I was no longer going to just be on TV, but I was going to use TV as a platform, as a force for good, and not be used by TV.

And I will tell you, my decision to make that significant change in the way I operated on television, using television as a service, changed my career exponentially. Service through medicine. Service through art.

Using whatever it is you produce, your product, as a way of giving back to the world.

When you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service and you bring significance to that, success will, I promise you, follow you. Service and significance equals success.

That's number two. Number three, it's so simple, but so hard to do.

Be excellent. People notice. Think of how you notice.

You go to Taco Bell, somebody gives you an extra napkin and some sauce, you notice.

You want to go back to that person, because even at Taco Bell, excellence shows itself.

Be excellent. Let excellence be your brand.

Everybody talks about building a brand. I never even knew what that was.

When people say, you're a brand, I would say, no, I'm just Oprah.

What I recognize now is that my choice to, in every way, in every example, in every experience, to do the right thing and the excellent thing is what has created the brand.

And what I know is that when you are excellent, you become unforgettable.

People remember you. You stand out. Regardless of what it is, you become an unforgettable woman.

And that is what we all want. We want to be unforgettable and not forgettable.

So doing the right thing, even when nobody knows you're doing the right thing, will always bring the right thing to you. I promise you that. Why?

Because the third law of motion is always at work.

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

That's what Newton said. You just have to do the right thing, and the right thing will follow you even when people don't support it.

I remember many times on my show. There are many shows y'all never saw.

And the reason you didn't see them is because I got the last vote.

And I remember 2010, my team, hardest working team in television, had done this interview with a woman who turns out she was a Sunday school teacher by day and a sex addict at night. They were like, you won't believe it.

We got her going out. We got her with the men.

We get to show her and she was willing to show us everything.

I sat down with a woman for an interview that was taped.

And during the process of the interview, I said, why are you doing this?

And she said, oh, I want to help people. I want to tell my story and I want to help people.

I said, do you have children? She says, yes, I have a 10 year old son.

I knew right then this is never going to see the light of day.

So we got off the air and I said to the lady, we are not going to air that show.

She knew she was being filmed. She knew what she was saying.

She knows what you... I said, because her son will never get over it.

Not worth a rating point to me to know that there's a 10 year old boy who's destroyed because his mother went on the Oprah Winfrey show.

You do the right thing even when other people think it may not be.

And oftentimes when you make a decision to do the right thing, immediately you're faced with doubt.

Was that the right thing? Was that the right decision?

You always know it's the right thing when in the end there is peace.

You are rewarded by peace in knowing that you did the right thing.

The most important thing I have come to know in doing the right thing and making the right choices is understanding what we talked about yesterday.

All of you leaving here have the potential for enormous success.

And if you surround yourself with people who are not accustomed to your success, they become fearful.

Because you are reflecting back something to them that they don't recognize.

People who want the best for you want you to be your best.

So my greatest advice to you is to surround yourself with people who are going to fill your cup until your cup runneth over.

And those three things will not only lead you to a blessed life, but a sweet life.
