Recently I often feel very confused oaout this,should a awoman br very outstanding and sttrong?When I was young I thought that as a woman we should rely on ourselves and study and be as good as a man,but as I grow up and meet many things and learn the difficulties women have,sometimes I really feel very tired,I don't know if I should stick to it or if I am right.

Hi, well.. let me share this wonderful poem to you...
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside
to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn't afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman makes mistakes
and avoids the same in the future
but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes
can also be blessings and capitalizes on them
A strong woman walks
sure footedly
but a woman of strength knows
when to ask for help
A strong woman wears the look
of confidence on her face
but a woman of strength
wears grace
A strong woman has faith
that she is strong enough for the journey
but a woman of strength has faith
that it is in the journey that she will become strong

The women of the modern era are quite different from their predecessors. Women used to be associated with the home, where men are the breadwinners and women stayed home to look after the home and family. Nowadays, women are more independent, career-minded and ambitious, and some are even outstanding in their careers and are better achievers than men. They are no more playing the supporting role to men in various avenues of life. Having said this, not every women will reach the same heights of achievement and be as outstanding. It really depends on the individual self and the situations and opportunities presented. Not everyone has the same drive and energy to keep pushing themselves, because some women have to balance their work responsibilities with family responsibilities, and they may get tired out if they try and push themselves too hard in both these responsibilities and these take the toll on them.

I think women have always been strong, maybe not so outspoken. In todays society we've become more outspoken. Women hold down jobs, raise children and take care of their men and thats pretty outstanding. Continue to be self reliant, but dont be afraid to also be female and let a man pick up some of the slack, after all we're ladies and should be pampered by the men folk.

A woman should never realy solely on a man as while it is wonderful if he is there what if one day you wake up and he is gone you then have to rely on yourself and if you never have done it would be very hard.
Make yourself who you are because of YOU not because of a man or any other person for that matter.

It's quite right to rely on youself,my friend.Do stick to it!
Well,I must admit that it's quite hard for a woman to achieve success in her career when compared with a man,however,one must rely on hiself,no matter you are a girl or a boy.
As for outstanding and strong,I don't think woman should be as strong as a man,you know,you can chase excellent,but in a far more gentle way,no need to act as a man!
Anyway,be yourself is that matters!
