I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If your ceiling is falling down, don't you call someone in? I apply the same principle to myself.
I never thought I was breaking a glass ceiling. I just had to do what I had to do, and it never occurred to me not to.
I think it's a responsibility for everyone to give back.
Often we women are risk averse. I needed the push. Now, more than ever, young women need more seasoned women to provide that encouragement, to take a risk, to go for it. Once a glass ceiling is broken, it stays broken.
People didn't always see a person with a disability who had to use a ramp or elevator as people who have been given unnecessary privileges. But I run into that often now. People are saying, 'Why do we have to go to great expense for these people?'
The average person pushes an elevator button 6 or 7 minutes before realizing it's not working. I did a study on this, you know.
If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button.
I don't do what I do to try and break a glass ceiling.
When I go to my health club, and it's in the basement, you have to take the elevator down. And this drives me crazy. Why can't there be a stairway? At least make it as easy to exercise as it is to not exercise. It's in society's interest for me to take the stairs.
If you're lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down.
