What happened to her brain, her life, her ambitions, her dreams ?

When you first set out into the world, after you have graduated from the university ,you will have high ideals about your plans and dreams of how you want to live your life.

Being better educated than their mothers, they would like to improve on their mother's lifestyle.

Many would not want to follow in their mother's footsteps. Even their mothers do not want their daughters to follow theirs.

Each of us have aspirations and plans
for our future.
We want to get married ,have children, a wonderful husband , a beautiful home , a promising career and those are the things we want to seek in our life .We want to have it all , combining motherhood and a successful career.

We hurled headlong into the fray in search of our dreams but those lofty ideals are no where in sight. Some could not even touch the first base .Many may dream until their hair turns white.

Only a few will get to realize their dreams , while the majority will find their ideals out of their reach.

What we get is a jumble and a mix and match of all those dreams. We muddle through our life as best as we can , children , husband, career and home.

The arrangement may not be the most ideal but as working mothers and breadwinners, what more can women they do ?

The most idealistic situation would be to revert back to the traditional gender roles and this is where women would find their fulfillment as a wife and a mother .

Some women have given up their promising careers to be full time house wife when their children are young.

The children are more important than their careers. This is the time when you will experience only once in your life time and see your children growing up.

You share in their joys and pains of growing up. It is an experience where no amount of money can buy.

This opportunity only happens once in your life time.That is what makes life more interesting and worthy of living.

They may have to downgrade their lifestyles but they will find their life's is more enriching and enjoyable. They will have more time , more fun and are more relax .

When you are on the fast lane , everything just passes you by and by the time you realize what you are doing , you would have lost the purpose and meaning of life. You are just another clog in the big machine and nothing more.

Your children will grow up and leave the nest and fly far away and your husband is like a stranger to you and would probably have a secret family behind your back.

Women may have won more freedom and liberation's but this freedom comes at a price . They cannot be at two places at the same time.

The trouble with today's working women, two-thirds of females said they worked out of necessity and not by choice.

What happened to her brain, her life, her ambitions, her dreams ?

If she continues on the same path in her career, she may find emptiness and no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

What is the meaning of life ?
