We’re focused on doing one thing incredibly well. If you look at other companies, all of these companies are doing a lot of different things but we’re still, as we grow, doing exactly one thing.

SHERYL SANDBERGMotivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.
SHERYL SANDBERGWhen people are really suffering, and we know they’re suffering, that question can be a very difficult one. Inadvertently, I think without anyone meaning it, it communicates a lack of empathy.
SHERYL SANDBERGWhen 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.
SHERYL SANDBERGThe time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.
SHERYL SANDBERGIt’s more pressure on women to – if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
SHERYL SANDBERGWe cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
SHERYL SANDBERGI have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
SHERYL SANDBERGI have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
SHERYL SANDBERGWhen you’re more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.
SHERYL SANDBERGThe best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.
SHERYL SANDBERGOur culture needs to find a robust image of female success that is first, not male, and second, not a white woman on the phone, holding a crying baby.
SHERYL SANDBERGBelieve in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.
SHERYL SANDBERGDon’t make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you’re not even conscious you’re making.
SHERYL SANDBERGFraming the issue of work-life balance – as if the two were dramatically opposed – practically ensures work will lose out. Who would ever choose work over life?
SHERYL SANDBERGI’m not telling women to be like men. I’m telling us to evaluate what men and women do in the workforce and at home without the gender bias.
