Teachers’ Campaign for Oprah’s Final Book Selection
“If You Want to Accomplish the Goals of Your Life, You Have to Begin with the Spirit” says the Queen of Talk, Ms. Oprah Gayle Winfrey.
Sharon Rose Sugar is the the author of the “The Silent Crisis Destroying America’s Brightest Minds” that was chosen as “Book of the Month” by the Alma Public Library in Wisconsin. She understands the importance of Oprah’s gratitude journal. Educators have to develop the mind, body, and spirit of a child.
According to Ms. Sugar, “Spiritual education develops the ‘Light from Within.’ That ‘Light’ is the inner voice in good times and bad times. Journal writing is an excellent way for students to simultaneously develop their English language writing skills and build the internal spiritual resources that are necessary to survive in a difficult, demanding, and dangerous world.The ‘human being’ is a man-made artificial construct. Spiritual education socializes the nasty human animal into a loving human being. Students learn how to choose cooperation over competition, sharing over selfishness, love over hatred, and truth over lies.”
Humming the same tune, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Intelligence Plus Character -- That is the Goal of True Education.”
This book encapsulates Oprah’s vision of a world ruled by spiritual maturity. This is why Oprah should choose the “Book of the Century”as her final book club selection. It is a befitting choice that recognizes Oprah’s core values and central mission of her life, and her devotion to education and world peace.
Also, Ms. Sugar is nicknamed the “Mini Oprah on the Upper East Side of Manhattan” because she transforms floundering and failing students into Grade A students and pioneered the new learning technology. The books “EVERY DAY, AN EASY A,” “Your Study Room Is Under New Management,” “Back to School Smarts” and “The Academic Achiever” will place processing tools directly into the hands of all American students.
Before Oprah Winfrey bids farewell, she should make one more mark on the world and change the lives of teachers, parents, and students who need these books to grow, develop, and mature to their full potential.
