Success to most of us is finally purchasing your own BMW, landing the penthouse apartment you had always dreamed of, finding the man of your dreams, moving into a house with him and raising 3 beautiful children whilst maintaining a high-paying successful career. But you should know now that that's not enough!

Times are bad, but they seem worse when you hear someone say “It’s great to have a nice home. It’s great to have nice homes! It’s great to have a nice home that just escaped the fire in Santa Barbara,” she told the students. “It’s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn’t great is lying to you.” - Oprah

Why would anyone tell you having a private jet isn't great?? Give it to me! I'll tell everyone how great it is. Post it on Twitter even!

Oprah said this during a speech to Duke University’s graduating class, where she talked about the secrets and joys of success. Among them: owning a mansion and a jet.

I guess this provides a higher goal to achieve as compared to the typical choice of goals. I suppose it's time I aim high and try to get a private jet and a mansion by the time I'm... 35? Long way to go. But kudos to Oprah for the advice.
