You might not feel like a superhero every day of the week. That's why we partnered with Supergirl on CBS for this inspirational post.
There are days where you get knocked down by one thing after another. You forget your lunch at home (on the kitchen counter), or maybe all the hard work you put in on a project at work gets overlooked, leaving you feeling stranded in life. But you are in control of your own destiny, and strong, motivational quotes from powerful people are what you need for a new outlook. Here are 14 that will challenge you to be the best you can be.
