Chanda Kochhar
Indian Businesswoman
I always believe that, as you start out, while you should have a big dream - a big goal - but it's also important to move step by step. So, you know, frankly, if you ask me, when I started as a management trainee in 1984, I don't know that I really thought that I would become the CEO.
Quote examples
Catherine Bell
British Model

Quote examples

American Scientist
