A Queen, A First Lady, Oprah and other Stars and CEOs Reveal Their Secrets For Success in Business and Personal life.

1. "It doesn’t matter whether you are a waitress or a CEO—the question is are you true to yourself? Are you improving the quality of life of those you meet and work with? Are you a force for good in a world in desperate need?" Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan

2. "Don’t compare yourself to other women. There is no woman in reality that looks like she does in a magazine. Concentrate on being the best that you can be." First Lady Maria Shriver

3. "There is a calling for your life. I go to work. It doesn’t feel like work. It feels like breathing. That’s when you know you’re home." Oprah

4. "Dream big, bold dreams. Dream as far as your imagination will take you." Andrea Jung, chairman and CEO, Avon

5. "Whatever you do, enjoy yourself by laughing more easily, moving more slowly, connecting with others and expressing yourself authentically." Cecile Andrews, author, Simplicity in a Complex World

6. "No matter how smart you are, you get more done as a team. Whether a team member or team leader, value everyone – and every contribution." Jane Beseda, Group VP and GM, No. American Parts Operations, Toyota

7. "Have your first child before 35; don’t wait until your late thirties or forties before trying to have that first child." Sylvia Ann Hewlett, economist and founding president, Center for Work-Life Policy

8. "Kindness works. It’s like a boomerang: it ALWAYS comes back to you, even if not from the person you gave it to." Gayle King, editor-at-large, O Magazine

9. "Be Choosy About the Role You Let E-mail Play. Use it as a tool to drive your agenda, not to define your agenda. It is a poor substitute for the nuances of interpersonal communications that require leadership and finesse." Susan Decker, former president, Yahoo

10. "Choose to be better, not bitter. If you experience trauma, be sure to give yourself at least one year to grieve and begin the healing journey before throwing yourself into volunteerism. If you don’t take time to focus on yourself before focusing on others, it can make you bitter and angry, rather than positive and productive." Wendy Hamilton, Past National President, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
