Oprah earns a Honorary DOCTORATE Degree from Harvard! Check out the inspiring video and pics!

Oprah Winfrey just continues to break the glass ceilings folks! Today the media mogul earned an honorary from Harvard University and delivered the 2013 commencement address to the university's graduating class.

Gayle's BFF shared some sage advice to the graduating class of Harvard University saying that her own "perceived failures as the backdrop of her inspiring speech, she challenged the class to live a life of purpose"

According to the YBF:
Another poignant moment came when 59 year old Oprah offered her advice on getting over the inevitable hurdles of life. She suggested that individuals develop an internal GPS and build a resume that doesn't tell the story of what they want to be, but one that tell's "...a story that is really about [their] purpose.”
She added...“When you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole...that is the story that will get you out.”
Also,  she received a Doctor of Laws degree and ended by telling the class, "...you now have a chance to better your life, the life of your neighbors and that of your country... When you do that, that's when your story gets really good."
