In this exclusive after-the-show moment from the archives of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' Oprah explains why she believes reading is 'the strongest signal for success'.

    Till this day , I'm 51 years old and I get lost in huge hospitals and on freeways heading out of town and because I can read and articulate other languages and cultures I can find my way. So, everytime, I get lost whether cross country or inner city, I find my way. And I always thank God that I can read.

    The reason OPRAH is successful is that she helps the poor, the bible says: Proverbs 19:17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD— and he will repay you! English Standard Version
