Nancy Pelosi: 'Know your why, know your what, and know about it so that people ask your opinion and respect your judgment.' (via KnowYourValue)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was honored on Know Your Value and Forbes' inaugural "50 over 50" list this week.Though it’s hard to believe that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was ever anything but a fiery, powerful legislator, she actually had no intention of launching a political career until her late 40s. First, she raised five children.
Pelosi said her political career was initially motivated by her children. She wanted to protect other kids, she told Brzezinski, since“My motivation sprang from being a mom,” said Pelosi. “... I always say to people: ‘know your why.
Pelosi contended that times have changed for women. Many mothers are now building their careers and raising children concurrently. Pelosi, on the other hand, took time off and built her political career from scratch later in life. But every woman should own her personal timeline, she said. For young women who feel bogged down by multitasking, Pelosi advised them to get help, and to view their tasks in a positive light: “All of these interruptions are enhancements. See it as an opportunity, and as a plus.”Whatever their path in life, women should never give up their dreams, Pelosi said, especially if they dream of being leaders.
