Conclusion
What Oprah represents is a triumph of adversity as so many other of the people I feature in these thirty quotes intermezzos. Get yourself into a positive mood and cut out the people around yu who drag you down. Get things done quickly and without a fuss. Avoid to linger on mistakes and look into the future. Try again when you fail. These are all qualities which distinguish great parents from bad ones, great partners from cheaters and unhappy from happy people. Be the master of your own faith. For me, this started with taking better care of my body and mind by exercising and meditating and spending more time with my fiancée.
