She explained that many people, but especially women, feel fraudulent when they are praised for their accomplishments. instead of feeling worthy of recognition, they feel undeserving and guilty, as if a mistake has been made. despite being high achievers, even experts in their fields, women can't seem to shake the sense that it is only a matter of time until they are found out for who they really are- impostors with limited skills or abilities.

More From Sheryl Sandberg

For the high achievers, studying gave them the pleasing, absorbing challenge of flow 40 percent of the hours they spent at it. but for low achievers, studying produced flow only 16 percent of the time; more often that not, it yielded anxiety, with the demands outreaching their abilities...the low achievers found pleasure and flow in socializing, not in studying.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them. this sequence is something that all achievers have in common. they do not see a mistake is as their failure; rather it is simply a learning experience. achievers view a mistake as an opportunity to do something over again and do it right the second time. a mistake is simply the price they pay to achieve success.

When a person is found not guilty, they're found not guilty. and it doesn't matter if it's a murder case, it doesn't matter what case it is, when they're found not guilty, they're not guilty.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

Achievers have a can-do attitude that sets them apart from mere dreamers. achievers are sold out to success-no matter the obstacles-and they are willing to put forth the effort and pay the price of success.

Eliminate the word "impossible" from your conversation, drop it from your thoughts, erase it from your attitudes. stop rationalizing it. cease excusing it. substitute for it that bright and shining word...possible."
