1. Jerry Zhang, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank China<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe should always reflect on the paths we\u2019ve travelled, to reinforce what we\u2019ve done well, improve what we haven\u2019t done so well and avoid mistakes other people have made before.<\/p>\n

People often repeat similar mistakes, as if they were inevitable, but it\u2019s because they haven\u2019t figured out the root cause behind these mistakes.<\/p>\n

If we can reflect regularly and really learn our lessons, the chances of success will greatly improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook<\/h3>\n

\u201cOption A is not available. So let\u2019s kick the sh** out of option B.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Women<\/h3>\n

3. Mary Kay Ash, Founder Mary Kay Cosmetics<\/h3>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Anita Roddick, Founder of The Body Shop<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhatever you do, be different \u2013 that was the advice my mother gave me, and I can\u2019t think of better advice for an entrepreneur. If you\u2019re different, you will stand out.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Ginni Rometty, Former Chairman, president and CEO of IBM<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re clear on what you believe, you have a great foundation to go make a market.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.Lynette Ortiz, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Philipines<\/h3>\n

\u201cI think females tend to be forced into stereotypes, or pigeonholed. It\u2019s almost like there are traits ascribed to a female leader by default.<\/p>\n

For example, a male leader is expected to be tough and demanding, but people expect women to be nurturing and collaborative, and that can be construed as weak. A man exhibiting command will be praised for taking the bull by its horns.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t call a man bossy, right? But if you\u2019re a woman, you\u2019re being bossy. These are stereotypes that need to be broken. The first order of the day should always be competence and capability, whether you are male or female.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. Alaina Percival, CEO of Women Who Code<\/h3>\n

\u201cI realized that if I was willing to step up and be in the spotlight, I\u2019d be able to make everyone else around me much more powerful as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Coco Chanel, founder of Chanel<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Sandra Day O\u2019Connor, the first women appointed to the US Supreme Court<\/h3>\n

\u201cDo the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time. No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay to admit what you don\u2019t know. It\u2019s okay to ask for help. And it\u2019s more than okay to listen to the people you lead \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Women<\/h3>\n

11. Indra K. Nooyi, Former CEO of Pepsi Co<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere is nothing like a concrete life plan to weigh you down.<\/p>\n

Because if you always have one eye on some future goal, you stop paying attention to the job at hand, miss opportunities that might arise, and stay fixedly on one path, even when a better, newer course might have opened up.\u201d<\/p>\n

12. Adriana Gascoigne, CEO and founder of Girls in Tech<\/h3>\n

\u201cYou have to follow your dreams and be true to yourself, even if that takes you down a less popular road.\u201d<\/p>\n

13. Claire Wasserman, CEO and founder of Ladies Get Paid<\/h3>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t ever be afraid to ask for help. Always be cultivating a support network so that when you stumble \u2014 and you will \u2014 they\u2019ll be there to catch you.\u201d<\/p>\n

14. Susan Wojcicki, CEO of Youtube<\/h3>\n

\u201cRarely are opportunities presented to you in a perfect way. In a nice little box with a yellow bow on top. ‘Here, open it, it’s perfect. You’ll love it.’ Opportunities \u2013 the good ones \u2013 are messy, confusing and hard to recognize. They’re risky. They challenge you.\u201d<\/p>\n

15. Marissa Mayer \u2013 Former CEO of Yahoo<\/h3>\n

\u201cI always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that\u2019s how you grow.<\/p>\n

When there\u2019s that moment of \u2018Wow, I\u2019m not really sure I can do this,\u2019 and you push through those moments, that\u2019s when you have a breakthrough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Women<\/h3>\n

16. Emma Watson, Actor and Activist<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you want to run for Prime Minister, you can. If you don\u2019t, that\u2019s wonderful, too. Shave your armpits, don\u2019t shave them, wear flats one day, heels the next.<\/p>\n

These things are so irrelevant and surface to what it is all really about, and I wish people wouldn\u2019t get caught up in that. We want to empower women to do exactly what they want, to be true to themselves, to have the opportunities to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n
