Sheryl Sandberg Quotes

A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life.

I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful - but I know that I have tried.

It's good to feel stupid sometimes and do things that are out of your comfort zone.

The project you are most scared to do is the one that holds your greatest growth.

The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.

I'll keep doing the things I don't know if I'm good enough to do.

Even if I make a fool of myself, it's better to have tried.

Hurl yourself at goals above your head and bear the lacerations that come when you slip and make a fool of yourself. Try always, as long as you have breath in your body, to take the hard way–and work, work, work to build yourself into a rich, continually evolving entity.

I want to be one that is willing to do things that are not easy but that need to be done.

I've learned in my life that it's important to be able to step outside your comfort zone and be challenged with something you're not familiar or accustomed to. That challenge will allow you to see what you can do.

No one knows what he can do until he tries.

Unless I try, I'm never really going to be at ease with myself.

I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.

You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.

It's the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it's running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business.

I'd rather attempt something I'm not sure I can do.

Sure, I got lost, which is an actor's worst nightmare. But it is a gift as well, because great things come out of being lost and unsure, especially if you have a controlling side or a perfectionist side, which plenty of us do.

What I've found is that every time you have that uncertainty, if you face it, walk through it, you grow as an individual and gain confidence.

I felt, and it may sound a bit stupid, that I want to try things that are hard.

If you only do what is easy, you will always remain weak.

I constantly get out of my comfort zone. Looking cool is the easiest way to mediocrity. The coolest guy in my high school ended up working at a car wash. Once you push yourself into something new, and whole new world of opportunities opens up. But you might get hurt. In fact you WILL get hurt. But amazingly when you heal - you are somewhere you've never been.

Do what is easy and your life will be hard. Do what is hard and your life will become easy.

I'm not afraid to take a step and if I fall, I fall. I pick myself up and move on. If we can all learn one thing in life, it's don't be afraid to take on something that you believe you're capable of achieving.

No. Never. I have to try my best or I'll become worse and worse. Even if I can't make up with them. Even if they all ignore me. I still have to try my best.

There's no disgrace in failure, the disgrace is not to try.
