Oprah says Farewell to Network TV today!

After a 25 year run, Oprah Says Farewell today to Network TV.

I watched Oprah’s final show today. I for one will miss
Oprah and the Oprah Show which closed an impressive
25 year run on Network TV. Oprah is a person I trusted
yet I have never met her. Oprah sincerely wanted to
present to her viewers information that was honest, factual,
trustworthy and reliable. Oprah is a giving person yet she
also realized that each of us must trust in ourselves and
then reach out to help another.

I was not a regular die hard fan, yet when I did watch,
I felt I could trust the information Oprah was presenting.
Oprah touched my life directly because I trusted a web host
that she recommended. That is why I now have my personal
website www.janpolk.com Thank you Oprah!

In her farewell speech, Oprah stated she felt that each of us
wants to be validated. That we all want to know “they will
see you” and “they will hear you” and that “they will validate
you.” Oprah's words. Oprah wanted to fill that void in all
of her fans.

Luckily, one of the benefits of getting older is that you soon
realize that there is more than one way to tackle a task, a
project, or a job. It doesn’t have to be Mom’s way or no way.
All that counts is the "bottom line" and that you maintained
your honor, your self respect, and you harmed no one in the
process.

I also liked that Oprah gave credit to God for her success
yet we know that none of the success came to Oprah while
she sat around waiting for the government to come help her
out. She worked long hard hours to arrive at her station in
life. No one gave her anything she did not earn. Oprah
also did not accomplish anything by herself. She depended
heavily on people who held the same values she did and
who were honorable, dependable, trustworthy citizens that
treated themselves and others with respect. A business cannot
exist for long with dishonest, uncivilized, disrespectful
employees. A business will not maintain employees of good
character for long if the employer does not treat the
employees fairly and with respect.

Oprah wants all of us to stay in touch with her via email.
Her email address is Oprah@Oprah.com She said she
would be the one who would answer.

We are saying farewell to Oprah on network TV but we
are not saying Goodbye as we can still see Oprah on
her own TV network -- OWN – the Oprah Winfrey Network.
My prayers for Oprah are “Continued success, happiness and
good health to you! God Bless Oprah.”

I see Oprah’s formula as trust, respect and good manners.
We are all hungry for that whether we want to call it that
or not. Respect and Good Manners are our common bonds.
We all want to be treated with respect.

No matter how advanced our society becomes, Technology
does not trump our obligation to treat each other with honor,
respect and common decency. Good manners start at home.
I say “Good Manners are Powerful!” Don’t leave home
without them.
