I sometimes wonder how powerful are those Fortune 500 CEOs who can can’t even change the way that list looks (leave aside how the world looks). And, I wonder what message do we send to our young girls, in classrooms across the world, who work as hard as our young boys but see only 20 CEOs out of those 500 who look like them.

About This Quote

In the world that we live in today, many people try to look for a quick way to success. Many people have the wrong idea about what success is and how to get there. Many people have been looking for instant gratification in life and when they do find it they cannot handle it because it seems too easy or too much work. These people believe that if they could only find a way to make money easily, they would be happy.

The problem with this thought process is that it causes a person to settle for less than what they really want. This is not the kind of life that anyone should settle for.
