“Until women are as ambitious as men, they’re not gong to achieve as much as men.”
– Sheryl Sandberg
“We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.”
– Sheryl Sandberg

– Sheryl Sandberg
“Success, for me, is that if my son chooses to be a stay-at-home parent, he is cheered on for that decision. And if my daughter chooses to work outside the home and is successful, she’s cheered on and supported.”

– Sheryl Sandberg
