Writer's Quote

Oprah Winfrey. She was born in January 29, 1954. Throughout her life she has been an American television host, actress, producer, philanthropist and entrepreneur. She hosts a show called, "The Oprah Winfrey Show." It is known for interviews with celebrities and discussions of social issues. Although it seems like she has a great life going on and all, she had a rough past; being raped at the age of nine and became pregnant at 14. What's even worse is, her child died in infancy. Aside from all of that, today she is a successful person making a difference in the world.
"When there is no struggle, there is no strength." -Oprah Winfrey.

What this quote means to me is something powerful and says a lot about grit, and having the will to keep going. To be good or strong at something, you must first struggle through it. Eventually, if you keep striving to try and become greater at something, that is the strength you are building at what you want to learn. Something I can relate to this quote is that I want to become better at the guitar, and improve my writing. What will happen is that I will struggle, but if I keep at it, then I will become better.

  1. Jacky, I love that you related this back to the concept of grit. Although it is not a quote that is directly about writing, I agree with you that there is a lot to be learned and you can relate it to many aspects of life.
    One technical error;
    - What's even worse - contraction
