Today, lessons from two books I've read recently...

The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho 


1. “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.” 


2. "When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”


3. “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” 


4. "Your eyes show the strength of your soul." 


5. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” 




Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, by Sheryl Sandberg

6. "Knowing that things could be worse should not stop us from trying to make them better."


7. "The promise of equality is not the same as true equality."


8. “Done is better than perfect.” 


9. “Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. (Harvard Business School definition of leadership)” 


10. “We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.”
