Sheryl Sandberg Quotes

Done is better than perfect.

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence." (Harvard Business School definition of leadership)

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.

If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.

But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.

I hope you find true meaning, contentment, and passion in your life. I hope you navigate the difficult times and come out with greater strength and resolve. I hope you find whatever balance you seek with your eyes wide open. And I hope that you - yes, you - have the ambition to lean in to your career and run the world. Because the world needs you to change it.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.
