"If you have too much on your plate, get a bigger plate."
I first heard this when I was doing a leadership course in London in 2009. Everyone in the leadership course was doing too much stuff and getting overwhelmed. And someone in the course suggested this quote.
I'm always trying to figure out how to make my plate bigger... I think that's why this quote compels me so much.
Forbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.
I tweet @maritacheng and I'm on Facebook.
