"   It&amp;#039;s graduation season, and you know what that means\u2014heaps of advice from commencement speakers. It&amp;#039;s usually hard to filter out the good from the blah, but we just heard some great advice from none other than President Barack Obama in his commencement speech to Barnard College grads. Among other things, the president told graduating women that they should &amp;quot;fight for your seat at the table. Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table.&amp;quot; We love this quote because it can apply to everything\u2014work, life, relationships, etc. If you work hard enough at something and want it to be a success, you&amp;#039;ll see results.  Basically, he&amp;#039;s encouraging women to go big or go home in all areas of their lives. Just a little phrase to keep on the back burner for whenever you need a mental boost.
