Ask a woman if she’s ambitious and she’ll look at you as if you just asked whether she sticks pins in puppies for fun. Ask a woman if she’s competitive and she’ll look at you as if you suggested that she’s a hooker.

About This Quote

The idea that women aren’t competitive or that they don’t have a competitive spirit is an outdated myth that still plagues us in business and in our personal lives. In fact, the opposite is true. Women are just as competitive as men when it comes to their careers. So, if you’re looking to get ahead at work, start speaking up and asking for promotions. It will be well worth it in the end.
