Wonderful

Great personalities. To all young women out there, there's always a positive way to make a difference.


Happy int'l women day.

Nice. If there's any lie that has been disproved in the last couple of decades, it is the long-held view that male children are more intelligent and therefore do better than their female counterparts in school.

If you have children, give them the same opportunities. After all, you don't know which one will save you in your old age.

Only thing is that as chief executives, women tend to 'overdo things'. I don't blame them though. They probably want to prove a point: that women are not weak after all.

interesting
