We look at problems happening halfway across the world and we think, 'Well, that's their problem.' But it's not. ... When you solve somebody else's problem, you're solving a problem for yourself because our world today is so interconnected.
We are stronger when we listen,and smarter when we share.
Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.
At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It's really your essence and your values that are important.
