Meg Whitman Quotes

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything.

The best advice my mom has ever given me is to never give up. She believes when one door shuts, another door opens. Always, always move forward.

I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem, Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams. I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed, But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh.

Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

If you have just one person believe in you, you'll always find your way
