      *Oprah Winfrey slipped unnoticed into the back of a Harvard Business School class last week that had been studying her as a business model.

      "The students all did double takes when they saw Oprah sitting at the back of the classroom," Professor Nancy Koehn told the school's Working Knowledge publication. "I thought they would be a little nervous. But they were fantastic in each class I taught. Winfrey took the floor for half an hour to speak informally and address specific questions that the students had raised about her company."

      According to Working Knowledge, Winfrey told the students: “If you only desire to make money, you can do that. Obviously, everybody in here is going to make money. Everybody in here is going to have a level of financial success that most people in the world will not know. But what I will tell you – and I know this for sure too – that the money only lasts for a while in terms of making you feel great about yourself.

       “In the beginning, the money is to get nice things. And once you've gotten those nice things, I think some of the most unhappy people I know are the people who've acquired all the things and now they feel like, ‘What else is there? What else is there? What else is there?’ And that feeling of ‘what else is there’ is the calling – is the calling trying to say to you there is more than this. There is more than this.”

       Koehn said of Winfrey’s appearance: "It was just a great message. And the students heard it."
