In December 2010, I was standing 3 with Pat Mitchell, waiting to go onstage to give my TEDTalk. 2010年12月，我和帕特·米切尔站在一起，等着上台做我的TED演讲。
The day before, I had dropped my daughter off at preschool and told her I was flying to the East Coast so I wouldn't see her that night. 前一天，我送女儿上学时，告诉她我要去东海岸出差，所以晚上不能陪她了。
She clung to my leg and begged me not to leave. 她抱着我的腿，央求我不要走。
I couldn't shake that image and, at the last minute, asked Pat if I should add it to my speech. 我脑子里一直抹不掉这个画面，最后一刻我问帕特能不能把这一段加进演讲。
"Absolutely tell that story," said Pat. "Other women go through this, and you'll help them by being honest that this is hard for you too." “当然可以，一定要讲。”帕特说，“其他女人也有这种经历，你坦白地分享你遇到的困难，对她们来说是种帮助。”
I took a deep breath and stepped onstage. I tried to be authentic 4 and shared my truth. 我深吸一口气，走上讲台，真诚地与大家分享自己的故事。
I announced to the room — and basically everyone on the internet — that I fall very short of doing it all. 我向在场的所有人（包括网上的观众）宣布，我根本不能做到一切。
And Pat was right. It felt really good not just to admit this to myself, but to share it with others. 帕特说得对：接受这个现实，并和其他人分享自己的经历，那种感觉真是太好了。
