Don't Just Climb The Ladder, Chart A

I Was Lucky In That I Had A Mother That Was Full Of This Colloquial Wisdom And She Used To Say To Me 'you Know, Failure Is Not The Opposite Of Success, It's The Stepping Stone To Success. There Is Nobody Who Has Not Failed Along The Way.' So I Think Its Very Important For Young Women, Especially As They Are Starting In Life, To Recognize That Because Otherwise, They Only See People's Success. So, When I Speak, I Speak Of My Failures.

I Think People Are Attracted To The Huffington Post's Blend Of Up-to-the-second News And Thoughtful Opinion, Delivered With An Attitude. Plus, I Think They Enjoy That We Cover So Many Different Things - From Politics And Entertainment To Style And Satire. There Is Always Something Interesting To Read And Think About - And Even To Laugh At.

Self Expression Is The New Entertainment, We Never Used To Question Why People Sit On The Couch For Seven Hours A Day Watching Bad Tv. Nobody Ever Asked, Why Are They Doing That For Free? We Need To Celebrate [this Desire To Contribute For Free] Rather Than Question It.

What Preoccupies Us Is The Way We Define Success. If You See Your Life Purely In Terms Of Money And Power, Then Everything In Your Life Becomes About 'am I Getting Ahead?' And That Is Truly A Barbaric Way To Live, Because It Eliminates Huge Chunks Of Our Humanity.

The Only Tool We Have To Fix The Problems Of This Country - The Democratic Process - Is Itself Broken. Which Is Why Nothing Will Fundamentally Change Until We Solve The Problem Of Money In Politics.
