Arianna Huffington

Acceptance Speech

2011 Glamour’s 21st Annual Women of the Year Awards

As one of the most influential women in media, Arianna is a woman to learn from.

Listen to her eloquently speak about how failure is not the opposite of success, but rather, “failure is just a stepping stone to success.”

“Usually you go to events and they suck, but this one meant so much,” Stone told WWD. “Arianna had one of the greatest speeches about success and failure. I felt so connected to her.”

Art history aficionados will also appreciate Arianna’s comments directed at the reknowned Cindy Sherman, whose work deserves to be celebrated as well.

Other award winning women at the event were comedian Chelsea Handler and actress Lea Michele, as well as Gloria Steinem, who took home the Lifetime Achievement Award.

If you see Arianna Huffington listed under “People to Subscribe to” in your Facebook sidebar, perhaps now you’ll better understand why that’d be a good call.

Lost in the big city? Overwhelmed by misleading advice?
