Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo
“I always did something that I was a little not ready to do. I think that, that is how you grow. When there’s a moment of ‘Wow, I’m not so sure that I can do this, and you push through those moments, it’s then that you have a breakthrough. Sometimes that’s a sign that something really great is about to happen. You’re about to grow and learn a lot more about yourself.”

“High expectations are the key to absolutely everything.”
Kevin Plank, CEO of Under Armour
