What do you think of when you hear the name..."Oprah Winfrey"? Almost everyone would say they know her as the most successful woman on the face of the earth. Quite honestly, she truly is. When they start using your name in French books for American students, you know that you are one great person. She really is an icon to not only women everywhere, but African Americans as well. But something that a lot of people might not know is that she had a very rough life growing up. She was molested as a young girl and dealt with a life of poverty. She came out of that dark hole to become one that is so incredibly successful. Oprah turned her childhood consumed by failure into a life that has surpassed all expectations, becoming a household name. Coming out of that failure is possible and very attainable.

Visit this site to hear a view on failure in relationships.
Almost everyone has dealt with a break-up of some sort in their life, whether it be with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a family member or friend. And if they haven't, it's coming for them. Break-ups seem to be the end of the world when you're going through them. But after a while, you learn to move on from that person and and have a new start, at least hopefully. When going through a break-up, try to think about the positives. Maybe your boyfriend had smelly socks; you won't have to smell those anymore! Or maybe your best friend used to always steal your clothes without asking; you will get to keep the cutest things you have now! Not only will you benefit from a materialistic view, but also on a deeper level. Take what you have learned from this past relationship and use it! Now you know better what to look for when choosing to trust a person that will be so involved in your life. Take all of the things that went wrong in your relationship and make them right in the next one. Now you know the red flags for when something not-so-good is about to happen! Take all of that failure in your newly, or not so newly, over relationship and use it to make you stronger as a whole! Go get 'em!
