My advice to other
women and the upcoming younger women , it is Never too late to start your
career and do what makes you happy. Choose God first and surround yourself with
good network of friends. Where I am today is because of God, and good friends , that were there to talk to,
share good idea s and work together during my challenges and stressful time. Woman
should also use friendship not just for social networking only, also develop
one and other, to share good knowledge , skills , support , and develop each
other to achieve greater things in life.
In my life I have lost, made mistakes, have been miserable, had
few regrets and also been happy, but still believing in God that is possible to
achieve my goal.
I am using this opportunity to thank my
children, my family’s all over the world my colleagues and my friends all over
the World
