I
hear that a lot these days. On the TV, in magazines and even from my
friends and work colleagues - but what does it really mean?
The
phrase itself – is dependent on so many factors and perspectives.
I myself am an Asian woman, second generation born to immigrant
parents. I class myself as a strong woman. However, I am fortunate to
have been on a path of many opportunities some of which I ignored and
some which I am grateful for.
It
is not opportunities which have made me strong but the lessons I have
had to learn from life journey. Lessons where my plans and dreams
have dissolved before my eyes and from that I have had to create a
new me – a truer me – a stronger and gentler me.
I
look around – and see women and young girls around the world that
do not have these basic opportunities and I see a waste in human
potential and growth. Women are the foundation of society and under
valuing them create an imbalance in the education of our society. We
all benefit from the wisdom of women, but first we must support them.
True
equality in our society starts here. We all can be so much more then
we imagine ourselves to be.
We are after all a mirror to our deeper selves and we can all be an
anchor to others and in the process, realise our true strength.
