Executive VP For Harpo Offers Advice To OU Students

Nice piece on the OU Daily's Web site on Monday regarding a Friday talk from Erik Logan, an executive VP for Oprah Winfrey's Harpo, Inc.

He talked to journalism students about what it takes to be successful.

Two of his secrets are not really secrets in the professional world, yet they are undisputable truths: First, one has to find something one loves. Second, one must work his butt off.

Believe it or not, the first of these two things is often difficult for people. I know plenty of people who have no idea what they want to do, and they're like 40. On the other hand, I know some people who would rather eat mud than work a 12-hour day.

Anyway, this guy was spot on and, frankly, a good read/watch for anybody wanting a professional vitamin.
