Favorite Quote:
“I think we don't feel it as a big accomplishment if we haven't had to struggle, if there hasn't been, you know, a big hill to climb - because that's kind of the narrative in stories, and there has to be some big friction or something in order for you to have this big result and for it to be celebrated, because you worked so hard for it… Look at all the fiction stories out there, look at all the true stories out there. Those are the ones that resonate with people, because you had to work so hard to get there, or you got over the hill. So if it's easy, it must not be that impressive. But I learned differently.” —Sheryl
