Someone wins the lottery and then tells you to work hard and you can too.

blueNtx :

Her name is Oprah Gail ?! Am I the only one learning this now ??

kristensnow152 :

Oh please

savannahbminee :

people get so jealous of what other people have worked hard for overcame from nothing and she had two things against her. She’s black and a female, but she wasn’t gonna let that stand in our way, and if people get jealous of her money, let them because she earned every last time of it. People get jealous, cause they don’t wanna work hard.

Whatever happened to the school in Africa?

There are no ethical billionaires

kenrapetersonlol :

Boy was she right!!

Yofo64 :

Good for her but there’s plenty of other people who had the same thought but didn’t escape the poverty. Perhaps they made peace with their lives and focused on their blessings of family & friends. Money doesn’t guarantee peace and contentment. Ambition is a good thing but not always enough.

I think we all do have a knowing we also agree to hardship or not!

fortxune.100 :

There’s nothing wrong with doing laundry for a living it’s just something Oprah did not want to do! We all have our own path 🥰
