Giver of womanhood wisdom and ‘Lean-in’ revolutionary Sheryl Sandberg says there are two questions every young ambitious woman should ask herself in her journey in achieving her long term career goals.
And according to Girls creator Lena Dunham, being asked them changed her life.
During a recent interview for her online publication, Lenny Letter, Dunham shared the impact Sandberg had had on her life to date, and the myriad of ways in which she had been inspired to participate more actively in her life and career.

Question 1: Do you know how much your male contemporary is making
Question 2: When are you planning to have children (if you are)
(She also asked her whether or not she had a business manager, but this may not betoo relevant for most young women at the beginning of their careers.)
Proving she really is all of us, even Dunham admitted, "I was shocked to realize there were some questions I had never actually asked myself."

"I expected to admire Sheryl, to be impressed by her fierce intelligence and conviction, her work-life balance, her blowout," Dunham wrote.
"But what I didn't know is that we would connect deeply and fully, spending a long night after our initial talk curled on her couch, discussing the challenges and triumphs of sharing yourself with the world.
