In celebration of her birthday on the 14th of November, our inspirational quote of the week comes from Condoleezza Rice. 

Condoleezza Rice (1954-) is an American politician who served as National Security Advisor between 2001-2005 and then as Secretary of State between 2005-2009 to President George W. Bush. 

Rice grew up in Alabama, and after completing her higher education studies, her career as a public servant began at the US Department of State during the tenure of President Jimmy Carter. She served on the National Security Council under President George H. W. Bush. After a brief return to academia at Stanford University where she served as Provost, she rose to political prominence during the campaign and administration of President George W. Bush.
