Oprah Winfrey is widely recognized as America’s most celebrated broadcaster. Upon announcing her retirement, a festival was organized in her honor at a football stadium. The event had people dropping their jaws in awe when it was revealed that for 25 years, she had quietly sponsored 65,000 individuals in need without anyone knowing.
Many of those beneficiaries attended the event, and 450 of them lit candles in tribute. Among them were five Harvard University professors who delivered a brief sermon encapsulating the impact of Oprah’s generosity: “Without Oprah, our lives would be vastly different.”
Can one individual truly transform the lives of 65,000 people in such secrecy?
Humanity is not merely a belief system; it represents a level of achievement that some individuals attain, akin to the wisdom of Socrates.
To everyone listening, especially you: focus on nurturing human potential rather than engaging in futile and harmful rivalries. When you rise in life, strive to uplift others rather than subjugating those who are yet to reach your level of success. Be a true embodiment of humanity.
