Woman... seriously need a business ownership!

事业平景是每个人都会碰到的。
特别是肩负多任的妇人们, 更得在好的情况下, 寻找商机。
Society and employers in Singapore have yet to be so pro-family although the situation is improving. I think especially SME of Singapore where most, know how to 'squeeze' must out of their own Singaporean folks (personal experience)

I always feel, people's direction changes as we process to different stages of life...especially woman like us. Therefore, its best to pick up some skills or business so that if your boss would one day, move you away from your desinated task, psychologically, you will not be hitted so badly. Trust me, I have friends whom are in motherhood, and was 'stripped' off in terms of authority etc.

That is why I always encourage people (especially lady friends) to get into some kind of business somehow... big or small, start to have a true ownership!

Cheers to life of great ownership :D

And the talk on kids and parents continue.......

Such coincident alright... When I was blogging about incidents of lady friends being 'stigma' by the employer, our lovely government pick up the same topic too, but from growing population aspects.

A few days ago, Mr Vivian, hinted that society pressure on modern woman responsibility is rather high. They expect woman to perform well in work, at the same time, give birth and take care of kids. I do agree.. its rather taxing. Help is definitely needed.

Yesterday, we have a gathering. One friend with a kid said; human are selfish! And that makes them less 'kan cheong' about having the #2 although both have been trying. They claim still need time for themselves etc etc. Well, my comment is just go with the flow... dun force and stay cool!

Actually man, traditionally, have not been tasked with taking care of kids as, traditionally, woman are not working! Breadwinner = Man... not so true in the current society anymore.
Therefore, rules should change to allow Daddy to have more leaves to help to take care of the kids too. I seriously think this is something that our lovely government should considered.

Hmm... National day is coming... think one of our nation wish should "Baby boom boom boom" :D
