DO YOU THINK A WORKING WOMAN IS MORE EMPOWERED THAN A HOME MAKER
Dear Reader,
Simple Logic and Mathematics tell us that 1+1=2, which means 2>1. Right?
Therefore you must agree with this equation as well:-
Home Maker + Working Woman = One Greatly Empowered Woman.
Which means she is 2-in-1.
Here,
we are presuming that the Working Woman is indeed a married woman. If,
however, she is not, then the equation may not always be true. But let
us continue with our original presumption and analyze the situation.
Our
typical home maker, is a Great manager. She is a past master in Time
Management, juggling various chores all at once, keeping schedules,
meeting deadlines, and turning out her best in every aspect of home and
public life. There is no question of her compromising on quality, ever.
How could you even entertain such negative thoughts?!!! Money
Management like budgeting, planning for long term goals and meeting
short term goals, are a matter of baayein haath ka khel for her, (if I
may borrow from our National Language). Her husband will vouch for
this! As for Human Resource Management, do you need to ask? Only she
knows, how she manages to get the best out of her husband, children and
domestic help, when the need arises, without ever letting any of them
know what she is about. No mere workingwoman can top that! She is a
Jack-of-all-Arts and trades. Just give her a chance and she can cook,
clean, wash, sew, knit, paint, teach, play, sing, dance, play-act,
direct, design, counsel, judge, charm, entertain, garden, sculpt, make
handicrafts, plan, invest, execute, and manage all these and more,
beautifully.
In short we have a Wonder Woman on our hands.
Now
imagine, when we make her into a working woman as well, we are taking
this highly talented woman and putting her in a field where she
competes with men as well as other women and comes out on top. You may
ask me why. The answer is simple, she is already a whole lot of women
rolled into one, and now the exposure she gets from being in a
commercial environment, broadens her horizon beyond imagination. Now
she is more knowledgeable of the Outside World. She learns the
intricacies of how any business is run. She puts in all her self-taught
Principles of Management into action and she is the Boss’s first choice
when there is a promotion to be given. She earns her own living and can
be economically independent if she desires. She now has more facets to
her personality than before. She has the power! The power to hold her
own against all human beings, be they men or woman, rich or poor, young
or old, Indian or International. What more can you expect of such an
empowered woman, but to shine like a well cut diamond – The Kohinoor,
no less!!!
