I refuse to believe in three things: cash, clock, and calendar. You should never be enslaved by these three.

I sometimes wonder how powerful are those Fortune 500 CEOs who can can’t even change the way that list looks (leave aside how the world looks). And, I wonder what message do we send to our young girls, in classrooms across the world, who work as hard as our young boys but see only 20 CEOs out of those 500 who look like them.

I wonder how can I ever work for an organization that pollutes the world and refuses to clean up and sometimes even own up. And, I wonder how on earth can I work for an organization where one of my classmates wouldn’t get the same paycheck and the same perks and the same benefits as I would simply because she is a girl.

Let's be grateful to all those who came in before us. Grateful to all those men and women, young and old alike, who paved the path forward for us, brick by brick. To those men and women who marched across the bridge in Selma on that great day, those men and women who rallied behind the Gandhi's and the Mandela's every single time they were needed, to those men and women who stood up for voting rights and civil rights and gay rights and equality and justice and a free world, those men and women who invented the future by inventing things that fundamentally changed the world from the electricity to vaccinations, from airplanes to birth control pills, from the printing press to the internet.

My mother, who taught me how to read and write and homeschooled me for the first 12 years of my life, whose presence shaped me as much as her absence did, who imbibed in me the values of empathy and fearlessness and hard work, looks down on me today with great pride.

Our national emblem has four lions, but unfortunately we have highlighted more lambs and wolves than real lions of our country.

Our parents are the coolest parents ever. No other generation went on from writing letters to their own parents to sending Snapchat to their own kids.
