SHERYL SANDBERG -
There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.
SHERYL SANDBERG -
Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.
