This passage from tonight’s 60 Minutes interview with Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook COO who just published Lean In, was striking:

Norah O’Donnell: You know, Sheryl, people are going to say, “Oh she’s got a charmed life, She went to Harvard. She’s a billionaire.”

Sheryl Sandberg: Yep.

Norah O’Donnell: “And she’s telling me what I should do?” Do they have a point?

Sheryl Sandberg: I’m not trying to say that everything I can do everyone can do. But I do believe that these messages are completely universal.

….Norah O’Donnell: And for those who say, “Easy for you to say?”

Sheryl Sandberg: It is easier for me to say this. And that’s why I’m saying it.
