The moment she said "your legacy is every life you've touched" I burst into tears. So beautiful. Oprah is so intelligent.

Oprah, you made me believe in good. You are my childhood and that's who I am today. You gave me a unique identity, a unique goal and a well rounded character that includes compassion, selflessness and humor. You are a mother to so many. I've learned a lot from you.

It's amazing how you ask her one question in 2 seconds and she'll answer an enormous amount of thought that can go on forever.

You are a gift to this world Oprah, glad and honoured to have been alive in the same era as you 💙🏁

For nearly 30 years you have helped me be more of myself than I ever would have been without you touching my life every day. Even though I still struggle in so many ways I shudder to think if I would even be here anymore at all if my soul had never found yours all those years ago in my late teens. I love you and thank you with all my mind, heart and soul Oprah Winfrey.

Unbeknown to me my legacy was teaching a student how to do long division aged 10 years old. The mum stated that his confidence sky rocketed in so many direction. I was absolutely gobsmacked.
So I say continue BEING THE BEST OF YOU.

Beautiful.
Thank you for uploading this.

She is right. You don't have to do specific work do be kind to someone who is sad, to smile on the street, to help someone, to be friendly on the phone at work to a caller etc. Please don't forget to see these positive things when media (who has an interest in reporting sensation because of money... and therefor make people anxious and depressed, but media really don't care about this toxic media-legacy...) only report bad things. Positive things are thère.

[fernlulham]

Hearing Oprah say certain things is like someone striking a match inside my brain and suddenly the whole thing becomes illuminated. Listening to her totally lights me up! ❤️

[NiceButBites]

I love Oprah...
(And I love her impression of Maya Angelou! Rest in Peace, Maya!) 😃

Oprah, here is how your show touched me. Because of your show I went back to school. One of your guest went back to school, to get her GED. This guest if memory serves was in her mid 70's maybe even older. Because of that show I too went back to school got my GED and went on to take some college courses in turn I was able to advance in my professional life. Many thank you's to you and this guest who shared her story.

*If Americans must have a celebrity as President, it should be someone like Oprah. She's a self-made billionaire.*
_That's a big deal._
