What do you aspire to be?

Everyone has a goal in life, mine would be to help the population of women that lack confidence, ambition and the urge to accomplish their minimal goals by settling for the “good”, and not the “great” they can become. More women should be empowered and have strength to accomplish their goals. In a few years, once I have my career and life set, I would like to start a non-profit organization that caters to the “double minority” population of the world: Women and Cultural minorities.

 

Favorite Quote:

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.  It will make or break a company... a church... a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
