For Oprah, wisdom is the result of deep self-observation. She teaches that 'your life is always speaking to you. First in a whisper... if you don't pay attention, the whisper becomes a pebble. The pebble becomes a brick. The brick becomes a wrecking ball. ' Wisdom is the ability to hear the whisper. She encourages us to spend time in silence and to trust our own internal compass above all external noise.
