1) One of the biggest career decisions you'll make is who your life partner is (should you choose to have one). - - We should tell little girls that, while spinning tales of happily ever after. Everyone doesn't want or need a 50-50 partner, but some of us....need it like water.
2) When the opportunity presents itself, always sit at the table. - - I wish I had this explicit thought before now, but its something I've generally tried to do, and hopefully I'll have many more tables to take a seat at in the future.
3) What would you do if you weren't afraid? - - For one, I'd likely have not only taken a seat at the table, but spoken up more often too. I'd do most things without so much thought regarding how others MIGHT mis-perceive my intentions.
I think I'll read Sandberg's book when I get a chance.

Yep, I went to a conference about a year ago for Black Engineers and one of the tips they gave was: "if there's a table in a conference room, sit at it." Now, being short and near-sighted, I tend to sit at the table anyway just so I can freaking see what's going on but since hearing that little piece of advice I've made a conscious effort to take that chair at the table.
