I'm aware that beyond my own need to find a personal balance, I should be sending a signal to society as women's minister about the importance of work-life balance.

We need everyone to be a feminist. Feminism is the fight for the equality of sexes, not for the domination of one sex over another.

It's important to understand that one gender is not superior to the other.

School is at once a place of hope, but it's also a laboratory that exposes our differences.

I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

In South Africa, success never presented the problems that it presents in New York. In New York, if you happen to be the flavor of the month, a lot of nonsense comes with it into your life.

Look at misfortune the same way you look at success - Don't Panic! Do you best and forget the consequences.
