Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
The best way to do it, is to do it!
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
Times are changing and women need the critical stimulus of competition outside the home. A girl must nowadays believe completely in herself as an individual. She must realize at the outset that a woman must do the same job better than a man to get as much credit for it. She must be aware of the various discriminations , both legal and traditional, against women in the business world.
Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.
Everyone has ocean's to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.
Being alone is scary, but not as scary as feeling alone in a relationship.
Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.
When a great adventure is offered, you don't refuse it.
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another.
Too often little attention is paid to individual talent. instead, education goes on dividing people according to their sex, and putting them in little feminine or masculine pigeonholes ... Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.
