"Marriage is not an achievement, Having children is not an achievement"
Like the Bible says, 'Paul plants, Apollos waters, and God brings the increase'. It's not just hard work. Hard work alone is not enough, just like love alone is not enough in marriage.
What would I teach my daughter? Self-esteem. If I don't teach my daughter anything, I would teach her how to respect herself, how to value herself, because a woman who respects herself can never be disrespected by anyone.
Another valuable lesson I would teach her is that marriage is not an achievement. Having children is not an achievement. She will do whatever she wants to do at her own time, at her own pace.
I feel we women need to work twice as hard to get the recognition or applause for what a man will work half as hard for. So, as a woman, you need to be on top of your game.
You need to close your ears to people who say, 'Oh, she didn't get it by merit. She went to sleep with somebody.' Don't. See, women will never stop calling a successful woman '......' So block your ears to the noise.
Stay grounded. Stay focused. Study people who have made it ahead of you. Do not envy. Be inspired. Do not be jealous."
