When a woman is successful in her carrier: Is it a bless or a curse?

Being able to balance a career and family is certainly a remarkable achievement. Having to choose one over the other, is not an easy decision either. Just having a career, or just having a family, can still be a rewarding life if one makes the most of it.

@MissPiggy: when you have a family the work "me", "myself" is not going to be that important to you. all you will think and say is my husband, my baby... i am willing to give up everything for my family, especially for my little son. some will never understand the feeling unless you have experienced it. the best job every woman can have is to be a mother and it is the best right we have. thanks for your kind comments.

@Shylade: It's really amazing to know that you could manage to make it in balance between work and family. I have some friends who do the same. But somehow I always manage to find the flaws in their life. :( And finally you have to make a choice too, right? Right now, I'm enjoying everything I achieve, but I'm ready to let everything go to take care of my family someday. And thank you for your wish, I really say Amen to that. Now, I guess I'll just wait for that day to come. :) @Sishy7: Yes, to me, a woman who can manage to keep work and family in balance is a very amazing woman. But if she is willing to let go the carrier and choose the family, she's even more amazing. And Shylade there, is a very very amazing woman in my book. :D Thank you for both of you. :*

But what if I see both? :( I have some successful friends and I can see the flaws in either their carrier or in their family. :(

I agree with you. And yes, I'm enjoying myself right now. I keep on pray to God and just wait for Him to do His job. :)

Hello MissPiggy, exceptions are always there in all spheres of life. I bet you just need to give yourself sometime and wait for the right person.....

You're right... :(

Hi, Alvaro. I just wish that the guys I meet so far have the same thoughts as yours. Somehow I can be very sweet and lovable to a guy, but when they starts saying or doing silly things, I can't help myself to become sarcastic. :( My boss (he's a man who really enjoys having a conversation and jokes with me, but unfortunately, he's married, lol) says that what scares the guys. I can be a good listener, as long as it's a logical conversation. But if I can learn how to be more patient, I can attract guys. But that's what he says. I don't know for sure. Lol.

Believe me, I'm grateful to God for what I have achieved now. However, I'm also waiting for another blessing from Him: my soul mate. :)

First, you're right, I have stopped trying to be in a relationship. Now I prefer to be relaxed. :) And yes again, just like you, I have seen some relationships collapsed because one of the couple refuse to understand each other. That's why I am worried that I won't find a man who is brave enough to propose and marry me. :) But I'm waiting for God to do His job now. I won't rush Him although I'll keep on praying. ;)

Omg, Cassije74, who are you really? :D It really is amazing reading your respond and I am really grateful to you for responding. This is exactly what I need, but I already know some of the answers to those questions even when I'm still in high school. :) 1. Yes. I am willing to let go off my carrier to stay with the family. I even hope that guy would ask me to quit working to take care of him and our family. 2. Well, to be honest I don't know the answer to this question. Some of my friends said that I'm an idealistic person. I prefer to really think with my head than with my heart. And although I sometimes break some rules, but I prefer to stay in it most of the time. If this perfection means to the character, then I'd say that no body's perfect. But there's nothing wrong to keep learning how to be a better person, right? 3. I don't care. If this guy has the guts to propose me to marry him, then it means he already has a plan for both of us. It also means that he believes in himself and in me. 4. Correct, that's why I need a man who can "control" me. Well, I have t admit that I need a man who's smarter and more strict than me. :( But he also has to be very patient. :D 5. Don't worry, I've been educated well that a woman should be "under" man. I know their ego. But somehow, men also need to listen to us women as well. And I'd appreciate this kinda guy more. 6. Depends on the situation. If this guy can logically convince me if I'm wrong, then I'd listen. That's why I said I need someone smarter. At first yes, I forced myself to search for this Mr. Right as I have been in relationship. But now, I think I'm going to pray and let God takes care of the rest. You're right in this: My choice will always depends on me. :)

Yes, but I'm ready to let go off my carrier once I meet my soul mate. :)

Awwww...that's really sweet deodavid! I'll sure wait for that day to come! Just please pray for me. :)

Well, I think I would also do the same if I have this someone to focus on. :( I'm enjoying what I have now, but I really hope I'd find someone soon.
