Oprah knows that the children are our future; she also knows that those attending Harvard Business School are a bit more worth her time — so much so that she attended a class that had been studying her as a business model. She took time to speak at every session, at one point saying:

If you only desire to make money, you can do that. Obviously, everybody in here is going to make money. Everybody in here is going to have a level of financial success that most people in the world will not know. But what I will tell you and I know this for sure too that the money only lasts for a while in terms of making you feel great about yourself. In the beginning, the money is to get nice things. And once you've gotten those nice things, I think some of the most unhappy people I know are the people who've acquired all the things and now they feel like, "What else is there?" What else is there? What else is there? And that feeling of "what else is there" is the calling is the calling trying to say to you [that] there is more than this. There is more than this.

When students asked what more there was, Oprah pulled out a copy of her O, The Oprah Magazine and began reading from "Great Food" and "The Workout That Does It All." Before leaving, she also reminded the inspired class that her book Live Your Best Life was on sale now.

See? There is more to life than financial success. Your life, that is.
