There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.

The best decision I ever made was to marry Dave.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg

Real change will come when powerful women are less of an exception. It is easy to dislike senior women because there are so few.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
