Quote by Sheryl Sandberg
If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.
Summary
This quote highlights a common gender difference in the way men and women attribute their success. Men tend to take credit for their accomplishments, attributing them to their inherent ability and superiority. In contrast, women tend to downplay their achievements by attributing them to external factors like luck or assistance, while also acknowledging their hard work. The quote suggests that societal expectations and gender norms often shape these responses, with women being inclined to be more humble and modest about their accomplishments.
