Kõige lihtsamaks sisemise tõega kooskõlas elamise mõõdupuuks on oma sõna pidamine, sest sõnades peitub suur loov vägi. Kui me räägime ühte, aga teeme teist või ütleme asju, mida me tegelikult ei mõtle või murrame pidevalt nii endale kui teistele antud sõna, siis kahandame oma võimekust luua endale sellist elu, nagu me soovime.

Careers are jungle gym, not a ladder. (Pattie Sellers)
…ladders are limiting—people can move up or down, on or off. Jungle gyms offer more creative exploration. There’s only one way to the top of the ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. /…/ Plus, a jungle gym provides a great views for many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.

When a man helps a colleague, the recipient feels indebted to him and is highly likely to return the favor. But when a woman helps out, the feeling of indebtedness is weaker. She’s communal, right? She wants to help others./…/ Even more fustrating, when a woman declines to help a colleague, she often receives less favorable reviews and fewer rewards. But a man who declines to help? He pays no penalty.

As a girl, you know that being smart is good in lots of ways, but it doesn’t make you particulary popular or attractive to boys.

If a woman pushes to get the job done, if she’s highly compentent, if she focuses on result rather on pleasing others, she’s acting like a man. And if she acts like a man, people dislike her.
