Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey appears in 129.如何成为真正的不完美主义者,浑身是劲儿! as a source-scoped example for distinguishing excellence from Perfectionism As Avoidance. The episode uses her statement that excellence and perfectionism differ to support its claim that a person can care about quality without making impossible standards a barrier to action.

Her role in this branch is illustrative rather than biographical. The source uses her beside James Cameron to show why the target is not low standards, but standards that make completion, learning, and Imperfect Action Practice impossible.
