Oprah Winfrey inspires Emmy audience with an interesting anecdote

According to Entertainment Tonight, as Oprah Winfrey took the stage to present the first award of the night, she stated how the Emmy awards were the most coveted television accolade on the planet and yet it's impossible to win one. Adding to it, she mentioned eight billion people on this planet, but only 25 Emmys were to be given out during the ceremony with the chances of winning being 300 million to 1 and added how one can win one with a dream. 

She stated, “It's the most coveted television accolade on the planet and yet it's impossible to win one -- almost. There are eight billion people on this planet, but only 25 Emmys to be given out tonight. Your chances of winning? 300 million to 1. So how do you win one? It starts with a dream."

Winfrey went on to encourage everyone to start with a dream strong enough to endure the knockdowns and rejections. "A dream strong enough to endure the knockdowns and rejections. You can lose a role or a series, but there is one thing you can't lose -- the belief in yourself. Without that belief, you'll never succeed. And even with it, you've got, at best, an outside chance. Every Emmy nominee tonight has been knocked down, but they got back up. And that's why you're here. [They were] voted for, by their peers, as the very best. So let's make some dreams come!" Winfrey added.
