A storey (British English) or story (American English) is any level part of a building that could be used by people (for living, work, storage, recreation, etc.). The plurals are storeys and stories, respectively.

The terms floor, level, or deck can also be used in this sense; except that one may use "ground floor" and "ground level" for the floor closer to what is considered the ground or street level, whereas "storey" is commonly used only for levels strictly above or below that level The words "storey" and "floor" also generally exclude levels of the building that have no roof, even if they are used by people—such as the terrace on the top roof of many buildings.

Houses commonly have only a few floors, often only one. Buildings are often classified as low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise according to how many levels they contain; but these categories are not well-defined. The tallest skyscraper in the world, Burj Khalifa, has 163 floors.

The height of each storey is based on the ceiling height of the rooms plus the thickness of the floors between each pain. Generally this is around ten feet or three metres total, however it varies widely from just under this figure to well over it. Storeys within a building need not be all the same height — often the lobby is more spacious, for example. Higher levels may be smaller in area than the ones beneath (a prominent feature of the Willis Tower).

Timothy Brian Storey (born November 2, 1960 in Lynwood, California) is an American speaker, author, life coach, media personality, and entrepreneur. He is Founder of Tim Storey Enterprises and StoreyDreams Foundation.

Storey grew up in a family of mixed heritage. He is the son of Anthony and Bessie Storey and the youngest of five children.

His father died when he was 10 years old, followed by his sister's death by car accident when he was 13 years old.

His children, Isaiah and Chloe, are the son and daughter of he and his former wife, Cindy.

Storey studied at Southeastern University for three years and holds a Bachelor's of Arts Degree from Southern California College, now called Vanguard University.

He has also received his doctorate of divinity from Bethany Theological Seminary.

Before Storey was known as a "life coach", he began teaching and praying for large masses of people as a traveling minister at 20 years old. He was discovered in an unusual manner by a minister, known as Dr. Cerullo, in a hotel restaurant. His first speaking engagement was in front of 15,000 people, overseas. Now, he is an ordained Evangelist (bringer of good news) who has traveled to approximately 60 countries.

Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her self-titled, multi-award-winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was for a time the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.

Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, claiming to be raped at age nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime-talk-show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place, she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.
