On success and failure. It takes courage to succeed. Being lucky helps too. But success also requires the courage to fail. But learning from these failures is the best revenge.
Women tend to be more cautious, particularly with career decisions.
Gamble on yourself. Tackle the tough jobs. Set aggressive goals and plan on meeting them. Tout the successes and learn from the failures. If you haven't known failure, you haven't taken enough risk and you will limit your career trajectory accordingly.
