Oprah and "Do You!*

I had a break yesterday and had a chance to do something I would never normally do, watch the Oprah show! The theme was finding your passion and following your heart when it comes to work. She interviewed some hugely succesfull people. They all said that those close to them, family, teachers and friends, in each case without exception, were dead against their ideas and actually tried hard to persuade them not to do it. All of them went ahead anyway. They are now worth billions. One of the most notable was the woman who has penned 90 top ten hits in the USA. Her mother was right, she wasn't a great singer but that didn't stop her from writing songs for Cher, Streisand and Celine amongst others. We can be thankfull she didn't listen to her mother!
