"Yes, it does pay to floss. Yes, you need to look people in the eye when you speak to them. You need to keep your commitments, you need to make your bed every day because when you do, it makes your whole house look better. And you need to leave your cell phone away at the dinner table," she said.
"It's about taking one big life transforming step at a time," said Winfrey. "But the truth is you cannot fix everything. What you can do here and now is make a decision — because life is about decisions — and the decision that you can make is to use your life in service.""The truth is, success is a process — you can ask anybody who's been successful," she said, pointing to successful restaurateur Danny Meyer, whose son was among the graduates.
For this reason, Winfrey says she does not measure her success in dollars. "I live the most beautiful life that you can imagine," she said. "It's not because I have wealth — although I love money, money's fabulous, I love it — or that I get a lot of attention, which is also good…It's because I had appreciation for the small steps, the seeds that were planted, the maps of my life that unfolded because I was paying attention.
This mentality, that life is made of small purposeful steps, should also serve as a reminder to look beyond the sources of anxiety that recent graduates undoubtedly face, said Winfrey.

Opinion | How to Slay Dragons in the Business WorldOpinion: Here’s my simple advice for college graduates: be a hero. Don’t let your job description be a straitjacket. Do something above and beyond, writes AndyKessler andykessler And don't think you own the world because you have an MBA or whatever, you don't and still have a LOT to learn before you are efficient and professional. Take it from someone who has fired many MBAs. Experience takes time. andykessler Also remember your degree does not guarantee anything. It just gives you a better starting point.
