I don't think there's anyone who is saying a life of a child in Idaho or Iowa means less than someone on the other side of the border.

If you are cheating on the SATs so your son or daughter can get into Yale, what do you think it's going to be like for them when they show up to Yale, and they should be at a completely different school?
We try so hard to be excellent and only want the best of the best but, instead of the greatest day ever, try to have a good one.
Social media is amazing because it's opened a platform for so many people to have a voice - but that voice can get inside your head, and it can really mess with you. The only way to avoid that is to have a strong sense of self. I can't say that I have one, but I can tell you I'm working really hard on it.
I was involved in an organization called the White House Project, and the woman who ran it introduced me to Bloomberg. I told them, 'You can pay me zero dollars, but I need you to give me a TV show to anchor, and I need you to hire someone to teach me where the cameras are.'
When I got to college, my sister was starting work, and she realized she had two weeks of vacation a year, so she called me and said, 'Go abroad.' So right after my freshman year, I went and I studied in Guatemala, and I studied in Kenya, and I studied in Italy, and it was incredible.
If I can bring a little light, love, and laughter into my environment, it's a win.
For me, I don't have a loyalty to a set of ideals.
In banking, it was my responsibility to deliver investment opportunities and solutions to hedge fund clients, and at Bloomberg, it's my job to break down news that matters to our viewers and readers.
Very early in my career, I almost went to journalism school.
When I first entered this business, I said, 'Well, this will be good to stay in for 10 years or so; then I'll start a family.' Then 10 years came, and I thought, 'I'm just hitting my stride. There's no way I'm leaving.'
For so many career women who are also mothers, our own well-being comes last. But when you take the time to make your health a priority, other parts of your life will fall into line.
When you see celebrities say, 'I hope the economy bottoms out to get rid of Trump,' I think that helps Trump.
I think I have a loyalty to try to make the best news show I can every day.
Two of our favorite excuses for holding onto a few extra pounds and being out of shape: Too little time and too little money.
I love watching the N.Y.C. Marathon - it might even be the best day of the year. I'm already in a true romance with the Big Apple, but the determination, spirit, sport, and glory that are all in full force on race day make it a true standout.
It's amazing how filling my cup with empty calories can lead to filling out the rear of my jeans.
It has been a true honor to wear a Bloomberg badge, and this credential has been the passport to sit across from some of the greatest titans of industry, including Mike Bloomberg, the visionary behind this extraordinary company.
Every year, deans of admissions are pushed: 'Did you increase the number of applicants? Did you decrease the acceptance rate?' And it's an institutional priority for colleges and universities to look for students that are going to have a philanthropic family that could give to that school.
If you commit to too many things, they become miserable experiences.
In many ways, I don't think journalism is any different from banking. And I don't think that banking is any different from parenting.
My boys are wild. My daughter is wild.
I want to tell stories of impact.
You cannot change who you are, so don't punish yourself for your shortcomings. Know who you are, give it your best, and celebrate it.
Stop overanalyzing how you 'feel' about your job and focus on being great at it. That will lead to bigger and better opportunities.
I joined Bloomberg Television as an anchor in 2011 after spending fourteen years on Wall Street. In many ways, the industries are similar: it's about relationship-building, trust, and problem solving.
I think, for young people, and I think, for women, it's great to work in new products and derivatives products because, if you work in a plain-vanilla product, it's going to take you decades to get to a level where other people are. If you work in a brand new business, no one is more experienced than you are.
Having the responsibilities of family life forced me to drown out office politics and focus on delivering my best at home and work.
Pregnancy forces you to put your health first.
You want to call me out for being a person? Bring it on.
When a woman stands up and is strong and commanding, she's called bossy. When a man does the same thing, people say, 'They're strong.'
If you're like me, and self-motivation just doesn't get the job done, maybe a little fitness-app competition is just what you need to ignite your need to get moving. It's worth a shot!
While you may watch what you eat, food is only half the battle. Liquid calories count just as much - maybe even more!
People just want to live their best lives. They want to be socially free, physically safe, and financially secure.
When I started at NBC, I'm quite sure there wasn't a plan or initiative that we need to make sure the girls are anchoring the shows.
College has become a business, and because of that, it can be gamed.
People confuse integrity with the idea of a high moral standing. I think integrity is saying you're going to do something and doing it.
One of the things that's great about the financial industry is, it's really financially rewarding.
I worked in finance for 14 years, and I loved it. But after the financial industry, I thought a lot about, 'Do I love what I'm doing?'
Whatever job you're asked to do, whether you think it's mundane, boring, or beneath you, do the best job you can. No assignment should be treated as a task. Before you can climb the ladder, you need to build a good foundation.
Work hard on yourself; don't be hard on yourself.
I believe it's on everyone - men and women - to knock down stereotypes and outdated assumptions.
Your life shouldn't necessarily cost exactly how much money you make.
When I was 23, 24, I started covering hedge funds - a lot of this was luck - when no one else did. This was before hedge funds were the prettiest girl in school: this was pre-nose job and treadmill for hedge funds, when nobody talked to them - back then, it was just all about insurance companies and money managers.
When I first started working, I thought I would have a career in my 20s and a family in my 30s. But when I got pregnant with my first, I was really just hitting my stride professionally. That's when I realized it wasn't an either/or decision.
People stop believing what the media tells them when they see media superstars say things like, 'Let the economy fail.'
Everything you say on TV counts. You say it on record, with people watching you.
Gym memberships and personal trainers can be very expensive, but they're not required for getting the body you want.
There's only one thing I love more than race day: the morning after! The morning after the Marathon, New York catches running fever. The Hudson River bike path on Manhattan's west side was like a traffic jam of joggers on Monday morning. No doubt the great race fires up the endurance athlete in all of us - and it's beautiful.
I know how important it is to drink water, but plain H2O bores me to death, so I inevitably end up dehydrated.
