So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.

I have never met a woman, or man, who stated emphatically, "Yes, I have it all.'" Because no matter what any of us has—and how grateful we are for what we have—no one has it all.

Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.

My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

What I tell everyone, and I really do for myself is, I have a long-run dream, which is I want to work on stuff that I think matters.
