A Twitter user by the name of Amy Nelson - on Twitter as amy_riveter - asked a simple -- but riveting -- question. "To my working women friends: If you could give your younger working self any advice, what would you say?"

The advice the followers of the CEO of Riveter responded with is so spot-on, it's hard to narrow down. Nelson reflected on the viral thread in a piece for Inc., writing, "Working women have so many of the same questions and fears and hopes -- no matter how young or old, where we are in our career or around the country, or the number of babies we've had or hope to have. The simple truth is that over the course of our lifetimes, we live many shared experiences at work. And we walk away with many of the same lessons."

Here are 10 of the most-liked words of wisdom:
