YackPack and Oprah

I like Oprah. I never watch her on TV, but I do try to learn from what she writes.

My favorite is Oprah's little book "What I Know for Sure." You can read this gem in 30 minutes, but to deeply understand probably takes years. The pages are full of wisdom.

"The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give" -- yep, I say.

"If you don't know what your passion is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it."
-- I know my passion, and it makes every day fun, not matter how hard.

"Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different" -- that's startup wisdom right there.

Is there any other web 2.0 CEO out there that reads Oprah?

At Yackpack, Oprah is a natural fit.
