4. Oprah Winfrey has just returned to the No. 1 position on the Forbes celebrity list after two years in second place and a drop in income of $88 million since last year. She is broadly acclaimed as the queen of entertainment, and has enjoyed an amazing career as a talk show host, media proprietor, actress, and producer. However, Oprah began her life in poverty, and in her earlier career she endured numerous setbacks, such as getting fired from her job as a reporter because she was ”unfit for television, ” and fired as the co-anchor of weekday news on WJZ-TV, which resulted in her being demoted to morning TV. Clearly those organizations didn’t recognize the incredible talent they were squandering.
4. 奥普拉·温弗瑞(Oprah Winfrey)在福布斯名人榜上重返第一名的位置,此前两年她位居第二,去年收入减少了8,800万美元。她被公认为是娱乐业的女王,她同时还是脱口秀节目的主持人、媒体经营者、演员和制片人,成绩斐然。然而,温弗瑞从小在贫困家庭中长大,在她职业生涯的早期,她承受了数不清的挫折,例如她在做记者的时候被解雇,原因是她“不适于上电视”,后来她在WJZ电视台与同事共同主持工作日新闻节目,但又惨遭解职,降级去了一档早间电视节目。显然,这些机构都没意识到他们白白浪费了一个极为出色的人才。
