獻給事業型女性的20條忠告(上)
"So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: ‘Is this person in between me and what I want to do?’ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you."
—Tina Fey, writer, actress, and author of Bossypants
“這些話你可能不愛聽，但我還是覺得有必要提一下。當你在工作場所遇到性別歧視、年齡歧視、以貌取人的狀況，甚至是極端佛教徒時，你不妨問自己這樣一個問題：‘這傢伙會妨礙我工作嗎？’如果你的回答是‘否’，那麼你大可直接無視他。一個人的精力是有限的，所以你最好把心思花在怎樣幹好你的工作上，這纔是你勝出的關鍵。等你坐上了管理層的位子，記得別僱傭那些曾經欺負過你的傻帽兒。”
—Tina Fey, 作家, 演員, Bossypants 的作者

"I’ve yet to be on a campus where most women weren’t worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I’ve yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing."
