Fortune does favor the bold and you'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.

A lot of people will say, what's Facebook's business model? I always find that a kind of funny question. Our business model is out there, which is: we monetize largely through advertising and a little bit through the gift revenue, the virtual gifts we have on our site. I think those continue to be the most promising avenues going forward.

Getting from point A to point Z can be daunting unless you remember that you don’t have to get from A to Z. You just have to get from A to B. Breaking big dreams into small steps is the way to move forward.

Sixty-four percent of managers in the U.S. are afraid to be alone in a room with a woman. Mentoring is all about being alone in a room with someone. Let's start talking about this honestly. The lack of equal access is the silent killer for women and no one wants to talk about it.

No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.

Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay but acknowledging that it is not.
Sheryl Sandberg

Don't let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face-and there will be barriers-be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you're capable of unless you try.
Sheryl Sandberg

It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Let's have an honest conversation about what's going on. A man and a man at a bar looks like mentoring. A man and a woman at a bar looks like dating.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I wish I were strong enough to ignore what others say, but experience tells me I often can't. Allowing myself to feel upset, even really upset, and then move on - that's something I can do.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.

Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.

I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
