Sheryl Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders

Summary
The name of this talk is” why we have too few women.” The presenter, Sheryl Sandberg, tells us what women can do individually if they want to stay in the workforces. She gives us three points. The first one is,” sit on the table,” which means women should negotiate for themselves to get the promotions because no one will give them promotions if they do not think they deserve their success. The second point is, “make your partner a real partner”. This point means both women and men should do the house job equally, so men have the same responsibilities as women in the houses. The last one is,” do not leave before your leave.” She explains us that women should not think too further, so women should keep their feet on the “gas pedal” until the very day they should leave.

Response
I think this is a good talk even for the women who want to be a housewife. This talk makes me thinking. I have to same problems as Sheryl’s examples. For example, when I do well, I will say that I am just lucky and this is someone help me. However, after I watched the video, I think I should say I am good sometime. People think I am good when I recognize myself. Also, when I think I am not good, people will not consider that I have the abilities to do well. The third point also reminds to think about this people usually think about what will happen in the future, but they forget what they should catch right now. Therefore, people always miss the most important things. We are living the present, so we should not regret what we did wrong in the past, and what will happen in the future. If we can do well in the present, I think this is the biggest happiness. (170words)
