A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night

Its fashionable these days to see women as they "lean in" and climb the
management ladder. But new research based on historical data suggests
that for women this position may come at a costto their happiness.
Nowadays gender roles are completely different than they were even just 30
years ago. Women are a strong factor in the work force, out learning, out
educating, and out achieving our male counterparts.
Despite these improvements to our advancement in the work force, it is still
very difficult for women to do both, a career and a family, successfully.
In The Choice, the poet William Butler Yeats considers the consequences of
choosing perfection of the life, or of the work and suggests that choosing
the latter can exact a high personal cost and end in great remorse.
Fortunately, we do have the power to choose. In any given moment, we can
decide what we are going to do whether were going to give work its due
or be fully present for our loved ones.
That is to say, we are the ones who have to accept the consequences of our
choice: either to have a modest career, but a unite family and a good
personal life, or a successful woman with the persisting feeling of loneliness.
Without any doubt, the first one seems more pleasing, but everyone is
different and the choice remains to the discretion of each of us.
