"Women are still not allowed to do the job or follow their passion by society, relatives,
family, or partner. This way you will never be able to know what your true potential is.
Listen to your inner self. "Don't let the world dictate your life."
Be your creator.
Be dependent upon yourself and know courage has to be born within you. It takes time but you have to work for it.
Aim to become Self-sufficient. You can be your best friend or worst enemy. It's all in you mind.
Always remember, "You are your Best thing"."

"Reach out to people who are where you'd like to be professionally but make sure to reach out to as many people as possible, maybe even hundreds, so that you guarantee a response. Learn what the standards are to make it in your chosen discipline and then don't rest until you're getting the kind of feedback that is in line with where you'd like to be. It's hard work but remember that the more painful and challenging something is, the less competition you have because the pain and challenge scares off a lot of people!"
"Invest in yourself."
