Some food for thought…
Mother Teresa

Oprah Winfrey

Comparable? I think so… Oprah’s fan base and sphere of influence has changed many lives.. Perhaps Oprah will one day rank up with Mother Theresa…

Oprah has done more for humanity than Mother Teresa ever did. Her business employs probably hundreds of people (maybe more); her show has inspired millions to live a better, more conscientious life; and her philanthropic efforts best the nun’s in every way. She just doesn’t publicize it as well as Mother Teresa did.
I’m sure we come from this at different angles, but for me personal integrity and success are a measure of greatness. Selflessness and self-sacrifice are the mark of failure.
