Behind every successful man there is a woman

Behind every successful man there is USUALLY a women but

Does every successful woman NORMALLY have a man backing her up?

Lets take a look at history. Chinese emperor with their 3000 concubines vs the great queen elizabeth the first of England....

Come modern day, Florence Nightingale, Mother Theresa, Helen Keller, Hilary Clinton, Oprah......vs big men like President Obama, Duke of Cambridge, Tiger Woods etc......

So what is the difference?The men all had loving wives behind their backs, supporting their every move, sharing their every success.........

The women?they had themselves i suppose. Take Hilary Clinton for instance, talk about family issue and look how well she fared on her own.

The point is, great women are almost always alone in their struggles of achieving their goals in life and dreams. Thus behind every successful man there is a woman but behind every successful women, there is usually a sad story.

Why the sudden thought u might ask....well....the last example to this testament would be me....i suppose i am not considered successful now...but if i have to choose to be the woman behind the man or to be a successful woman with a sad story..........i would without hesistation to choose the former............

However, it is not always a choice.....sometimes, life meant for you to do things that you originally never thought you could set out to do.......

A discussion with a good friend today enlightenend me.......we must all become a functioning individual...having your other half beside you is icing on the cake..without it, we still have to funtion........that is a good way of ensuring an equal balanced relationship between two people.........

Very true......sad to say.....all those successful women........not all is as lucky as the heroine in my favourite book, Falling Leaves.

Sisters out there, i post a question to you....do you want to be a successful woman or a woman behind a successful man?
