At age of 22, Oprah Winfrey was fired from her job as a television reporter because she was “unfit for T.V. ” Winfrey was terminated from her post as co-anchor of the 6 o’clock weekday news on Baltimore’s WJZ-TV after the show received low ratings. Winfrey has called it the “first and worst failure of her TV career.” Winfrey was then demoted to morning TV, where she found her voice and met fellow newbie Gayle King, who would one day become her producer and editor of O, The Oprah Magazine. Seven years later, Winfrey moved to Chicago, where her self-titled talk show went on to dominate daytime TV for 25 years, and ultimately head her own channel, OWN.

Rich Habits Lesson of the Day
Thoughts become things. Our thoughts are responsible for our success or failure in life. If you think negative, defeatist thoughts you will fail in life. Like attracts like. Negative thoughts say to the world, “I am thinking this way because I want negative things in my life.” Every successful person has failed or run up against one roadblock after another. If they accepted a negative, defeatist attitude they would have certainly quit. You don’t quit because the going gets too tough. You quit because you allow negative thoughts to talk you into quitting. Your intuition tells you to do “X”. When you allow negative thoughts to dominate your thinking intuition no longer works. Intuition is the communication method of the universe. Successful people have intuition because they live in a positive, upbeat, never say die world.
