Her television career began unexpectedly．When she was 16year old，she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people's stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world．She was on television by the time she was 19years old．And in 1986she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first．
TIME magazine wrote，"People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV．In a field dominated by white males，she is a black female of big size．As interviewers go，she is no match for Phil Donahue．What she lacks in journalistic toughness，she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity，rich humor and，above all understanding．Guests with sad[stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah's eye．They，in turn，often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone，much less a national TV audience．"
"I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year，pushing，pushing，pushing myself as hard as I knew．It doesn't matter how far you might rise．At some point you are bound to fall if you're constantly doing what we do，raising the bar．If you're constantly pushing yourself higher，higher the law of averages，you will at some point fall．And when you do，I want you to know this，remember this：there is no such thing as failure．Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction"as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30，2013．

The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I looked through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough（面团）covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had failed, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work.

I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast （酵母）made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing--Doug or me?
