Women Today.........

Today's women are forced to perform a tough juggling act - they are expected to care for the family, excel in their career and still stay in great shape all the time.

However, in their pursuit for a balance between career and family, many working mothers face problems. There seems to be no one right answer or formula. The act of balancing career and family requires a women to keep on working on it, making it a lifetime commitment. As the main subject in this involves people we deal with daily - husbands, children, bosses, colleagues, etc - each of whom has their own personality and hence can easily become affected by external factors.

Whatever it is, women needs to remember the price they have to pay and the benefits they can gain when setting their priorities between work and family. Putting one above the other do require some sacrifices in achieving an ideal balance.

Let me share with you a phrase which best describes today's women......

A hand in the cradle, a foot on the ladder of success.
A child to raise at home, a project to complete in the office.
A home to run, a department to oversee.
In bid to have the best of both worlds, many women have to be content with having less than the best from one or the other.

Because women today have so many areas of life to handle, we sometimes forget to carve out a little bit of that time for themselves. But we really should - Because if we don't re-charge our batteries, how can we hope to inspire our family, friends, colleagues - and the hundred and one other people we meet everyday?????

So, my dear women friends...... always be happy, cheerful & content with whatever we are doing & all that we have.

"Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are ~ Henry Van Dyke "

"The cheerful live longest in years, and afterwards in our regards. Cheerfulness is the offshoot of goodness ~ Christian Nestell Bovee"

"If you are content, you have enough to live comfortably ~ Plautus "
