June 15, 2008 - Oprah Winfrey, who called out "O-Eight" to a cheering crowd, delivered Stanford's Commencement address June 15, 2008, at Stanford Stadium. She encouraged graduates to trust their feelings, learn lessons from failures and, in their life and careers, "choose the paradigm of service."

  • I was there!!! what happened to the rest of the speech. I really liked the part before where she talked about doing what feels right!

  • This video was just some highlights of her speech. The entire commencement video is now also on the Stanford YouTube site.

  • this speech is terrible. oprah thinks she is wiser and more intelligent than she actually is. very dissapointing.

  • If you don't deal with your own problems, who will? You need to straighten up your own problems before you can help other people with theirs. Her saying, if you're hurt help someone else's hurt, is really just saying, ignore the terrible state of things and focus on the positive side (a mindless faith in the future (without drastic change.) How many of these grads are intelligent enough to read between the lines?

  • @netspencer Suppose "what feels right" is killing people?

  • @arKvaio17 hater

  • @arKvaio17 There is a wisdom that comes along with age. Even if you might not like the person or you think that person is not as intelligent as you... you have to respect the fact that they had lived more than you. Therefore, they have more life experience and probably know a lot more than you think you do. Where you are going, they have already gone and come back.
