The question is not about the decisions that working women take in their lives.But the real issue is that 'why is it expected from us to say always yes at our work place'? If the employees are the shakeholders in an organization, then it should be obligatory on the organization to watch for their interests ,including career development.It should not be left for the women to either say 'yes' to the oddest of jobs at the cost of their family life, or leave their career midway and start looking for alternate opportunities.

I think you say the right things for people to understand what is out there. I to believe in what the universe has to offer to myself and family and friends of course do not forget the friends. I believe you have to (Be Able T o See The Unseen) I believe that at times one needs to take a stand and say no!! and understand that for every cause there is an effect. One needs to be prepared for the outcome. I think this a wonderful article. I think you say the right things for people to understand what is out there.

It's amazing that you are following your passions in life; not many people have the guts to do that. But, I actually think that's what makes you different than the women in the article. Those women have the ultimate goal of getting to the top; they want to be CEO (regardless of whether or not the companies around them are crumbling - they probably think they can fix them - and maybe they could). There idea of success is making it to the highest seat possible, and to do that, they need to say yes a lot. In a way, they're right - saying no will hurt their chances of reaching their ultimate goal. In my opinion, the key here is the difference of goals. Many millennial women want a successful LIFE and the women before us want a successful CAREER. There's a big difference there, and your bullet points at the end highlight that difference. <abbr><em>Angela’s last blog post: <a href="http://www.girlmeetsbusiness.com/my-four-smartest-financial-decisions" rel="nofollow">My four smartest financial decisions</a></abbr></em> I really enjoyed this article.
