"They say behind every great man there's a woman." Or the feminist would say," Behind every man is a great woman ."
Today, there are many women who are highly qualified and have high earnings. Their advancement in their careers is an embodiment of the modern day successful women.
Being successful ,married and having a demanding career can take a tremendous toll on her physical, psychological and mental state.
She suffers from the stress, tiredness and lack of sleep as she juggles her incessant demands of her career and home. Somewhere and something will have to break.
Her feminist ideals of managing her careers and home will be too high to attain and either one will have to suffer as she is only an ordinary mortal and not some wonder woman.
In the past, she only had to hold up half the world but compared to the present situation , she is holding up the whole world with some or little help from her man.
What profits a woman if she can own the world but loses her life ?
Is she getting the best of both worlds?
Do they derive the satisfactions and fulfillment's from their chosen careers .
Is she using the best of her abilities to enjoy a better quality life .What about their roles as mothers and wives ?
This is the dilemma of many modern ,married and working women. Women have got talents, skills and they are now better educated . With the modernizations , life's becomes more complicated , complex and confusing.
Whether they will use their given abilities to enhance their husbands careers or for themselves or their families will ultimately reward them with a happy and fulfilled life or consigned them to the lonely planet.
If they choose the right choice, they will not only be able to help their man in his career but will also have the freedom and pleasure of spending more time with their children. They will be more in tune with their inner calling as a mother ,wife and helper as God designed them to be.
Life is about balance.They need to seek a work-balance in their life .Having plenty of money or materialistic things do not enrich the quality of life and neither will guarantee you happiness.

Most single working women are usually broke before the end of the month due to their shopping binges. The lucky ones would get some loans or subsidies from their b/f's or parents ,while those who are single will have to tighten their belts when their money is in short supply. They may go on a diet of cup noodles for days to tight over until the next payday .
For those married, spending his money is fun and enjoyable .He works hard to earn the money while she spends hard to provide the good materialistic life.
Today, many women have high paying jobs and they do not rely on their men to pay for their shopping's. They have complete freedom to buy whatever they wanted without any complains from their men.
Otherwise , he would be scrutinizing every items she purchased and would come in for some heavy criticisms on her wasteful and spendthrift ways.
If she has to depend on her man , she will have to be very careful about how to spend or what to buy least she incurs his anger.
In the Asia region , women from Hong Kong are the most financially independent followed by the mainland Chinese and Singapore. Women from these countries have equal say with their men.
Even though the women are financially independent, they do expect the men to play their traditional roles of the main breadwinner. They expect the men to pay for all those bills and household expenses unless he is unable or beyond his abilities.
They are reluctant to pay and only grudgingly pay when forced by the circumstances.
What is yours is theirs and what is theirs is theirs.
Shopping can be therapeutics and a stress reliever. If they are not happy or felt stressful , a walk in those shopping malls would free their minds and they will feel their gloom's are no more. Women think of shopping every few minutes.
Women would rather shop alone or with their g/f's than with their man because of the man's attitudes . They would look bored, frustrated or uncooperative. They would stand outside the shop or find some seats and wait for her.Some of them would not be able to help her and ask her to decide for herself.
Having a man tagging on a shopping trip is like having a dark cloud following you and the cloud is heavy laden and waiting to pour..LOL!
From the man's perspective, they simply do not understand why women would enter every shop to look for a pair of shoes or even walk through all the shopping malls in the vicinity until they find the shoes they like.It is really hard to please a woman, so fussy and fastidious shopper.
You cannot really blame them because those shopping trips are to those shops which sells woman's products like clothing, accessories, skin care products and cosmetics in which they have absolutely no interest.
If women don't spend, then many business will have to pack their bags and close shop.

I am a single girl all alone in a big and lonely city .All my friends have steady boyfriends or are married and some have kids.
I am normal , attractive ,slim looking and have a great job. My biological clock is ticking and I want to settle down and start a family.
I cannot find the right guy . I dated a few but it did not go beyond the 2nd or 3rd date. I feel the world is passing me by.
Are you desperate ? Nah!
You would bravely tell the whole world that you are not desperate to get married .You will live your life to the fullest and enjoy traveling all over the world .
With today’s women going to the universities, by the time they come out, they will be 26 and after a few years working to repay their debts, they would reach 30 in quick time. Where do they have the time to think of marriage ?
More over , the playing field seems to get smaller and smaller as they ascent higher and higher in the educational fields.If they want to get married, they will have to lower their qualification standards and not judge a man by the paper degree’s.
One in three women is still single by the time she is 35,one in five women has not had a baby by the age of 40 according to a new survey.
Where are you on this scale of divide? The top half or the bottom half.? You are not alone so no worries..LOL!
You may be so busy with work or going on vacations that soon you will find that age is creeping up on you.You may have missed the last ferry to La La land.You will resigned to your fate and destiny.
Some girls may have no choice and have to travel that road .Others may lower their expectations when they are nearer 40 so as not to miss the last ferry.
You wondered why you are still single when you have all those good qualities .You could have the best the world can offer you but sadly that is not happening.All the good men are taken or are married or dead. You rue your miss chances .
You keep on waiting for your shiny knight in armour to rescue you from your plight.You dream everyday and it is a long dream and it may never materialize.
You rationalize and justify why you are still single and you can be happy being single” or “You’ll get married one day when the time and the man is right.
Meanwhile , you might want to do your masters and make more money like the others in the same office.
Will it come or will you be a wall flower ? If you cannot find a fish , will you be satisfied with prawns?
How is your “sell by user date .” Still valid or expired?
How fast is your biological clock ticking?
I hope it wont run like crazy..LOL!

It is very fortunate for most of us that the price of petrol have come down recently to below US$60.00, from a high of US$150.00. Otherwise, we will have to follow this woman's lifestyle.
Though the petrol price has gone down a lot, many of the prices for foodstuffs and services have resisted the downtrend or only gone down a bit and does not commensurate with the drastic drop in the oil price.
She has lived for 35 years without eating cooked food !!!!! Thus saving her a huge monetary benefits by not using gas or more electricity for the cooking .
How many of us can survive without cooked food? It is a matter of taste. Cooked food may taste better but loses some of the vitamins through the process of cooking. Eating fruits and raw vegetable is good for the body.
We cannot be eating raw fish or meat but in some cold countries, they do eat them raw. We can have the Japanese sushi which contains raw fish and fresh oysters, which can be very expensive in some places.
The only way in which we will have to follow her diet would be, if we are carpet bombed or a major catastrophic war breaks out and forced us to go back to the stone age.
She feeds on a diet of nuts, raw fruits and wheatgerms and does not drive, use the washing machine ,watch T.V or take a bath!!!!!! This is like going back into the past before all those inventions.
Some day it may become a reality if Armageddon comes and the world is destroyed. Then if you survive that holocaust, you may learn to live like her.
For now, thanks but no thanks to her way of life. I would rather enjoy what the world can offer me and die a happy person even if it a shorter life.
Food ! Food ! Aaah! And all those glorious and delicious food. For many are gluten's. The food is available 24 hours and everywhere in my country.
