Quería compartir el conmovedor discurso de apertura de la directora de operaciones de Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, ante la promoción de 2016 de UC Berkeley. Su discurso sobre la resiliencia y la lucha en los momentos más difíciles de la vida se extrajo de la repentina y trágica pérdida de su esposo el año pasado. “De lo que quiero hablar hoy es de lo que harás a continuación. Sobre las cosas que puedes hacer para superar la adversidad sin importar cuándo te golpee o cómo te golpee. Los días fáciles que te esperan serán fáciles. Son los días difíciles, los días que te desafían hasta lo más profundo, los que determinarán quién eres”. Compartir la sabiduría que extrajo de la tragedia es conmovedor y recomiendo verlo.

No es tan importante, pero es egoístamente genial, realmente orgullosa de haber elegido usar nuestro doctorado de la UC. bata y capucha.
