Sheryl Sandberg

Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.

When the man is traveling with a man, he says, Let's stay up late and work on this and get this to be better. When the man's traveling with the woman, for the sake of appearances he doesn't do the work with her. That's a lost opportunity for her to be a success.

Image
In fact, my New Year's resolution every year, and I'm Jewish so I get two New Years a year, is to meditate, and I fail every time.
Sheryl Sandberg

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.

The best decision I ever made was to marry Dave.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I've seen over and over how much self-belief drives outcomes. And that's why I force myself to sit at the table, even when I am not sure I belong there - and yes, this still happens to me. And when I'm not sure anyone wants my opinion, I take a deep breath and speak up anyway.

When you're more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.
