As B.B.put it,“The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.”And learning is really in the broadest sense what I really want to talk about today, because your education, of course, isn"t ending here.In many ways, it"s only just begun.
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school and our life the classrooms.And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks, and sometimes as full-blown crises.And the secret I"ve learned to get ahead in being open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest universe of all, that is, the universe itself.AIt"s being able to walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that"s really why we"re here, to evolve as human beings.So, to grow into being more of ourselves, always moving to the next level of understanding, the next level of compassion and growth.
BI think the great one of the greatest compliments I"ve ever received:I interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago. And then many years later, I saw the same reporter.And she said to me,“You know what?You really haven"t changed.You"ve just become more of yourself.”
And that is really what we"re all trying to do, become more of ourselves. CAnd I believe that there"s a lesson in almost everything that you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move forward.It"s how you enrich your spirit.And, trust me, I know that inner wisdom is more precious than wealth.The more you spend it, the more you gain.

Now I want to talk a little bit about failings, because nobody"s journey is seamless or smooth.We all stumble.We all have setbacks.If things go wrong, you hit a dead end—as you will—it"s just life"s way of saying time to change course.So, ask every failure, every crisis, every difficult time, what is this here to teach me?
And what I"ve found is that difficulties come when you don"t pay attention to life"s whisper, because life always whispers to you first. And if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you"ll get a scream.Whatever you resist persists.But, if you ask the right question—not why is this happening, but what is this here to teach me.It puts you in the place and space to get the lesson you need.
I started a school in Africa. AAnd I founded the school, where I"m trying to give South African girls a shot at a future like yours.And I spent five years ****** sure that school would be as beautiful as the students.I wanted every girl to feel her worth reflected in her surroundings.So I checked every blueprint, I picked every pillow.I was looking at the grout in between the bricks.I knew every thread count of the sheets.And yet, last fall, I was faced with a crisis I have never anticipated.BI was told that one of the dorm matrons was suspected of sexual abuse.
That was devastating news. First, I cried—actually, I sobbed—for about half an hour.And then I said, let"s get to it;that"s all you get, it"s half an hour.You need to focus on the now.So, I contacted a child trauma specialist.I put together a team of investigators.I made sure the girls had counseling and support.
So, it"s a lesson that applied to all of our lives as a whole. What matters most is what"s inside.What matters most is the sense of integrity, of quality and beauty.I got that lesson.CAnd what I know is that the girls came away with something, too.They have emerged from this more resilient and knowing that their voices have power.And their resilience and spirit have given me more than I could ever give to them.
