Oh Women...!

We have more and more women joining our team in our office in these recent weeks
And one of my colleagues shares the same sentiments as I do -
It's worrying cos we know how some women can complicate things, not to say they cat fight
There are thousand and one things women compare amongst themselves
Looks, figure, age, status, dressing, make-up, bags, shoes... the list can go on and on
Some women obviously can be very threatened by younger, prettier and more energetic newbies
Some others resist that there is another woman more powerful, more assertive in the same room as they are
Some just cannot stand the fact that they are no longer the centre of attention
So they resort to stunts of all sorts to get to where they want to be...
Conversations such as "she is a bitch", "she did this, she did that” and “like and dun like" blah blah blah start to storm the grapevine...
Women can be worst creatures on earth when they start to get insecure
These undercurrents are worse than chemical warfare itself

At the end of it all, I think it eventually boils down to self confidence - knowing who you are, where you stand in terms of your own beauty and capabilities
We all are unique individuals with different personalities, looks and strengths, appealing to different people and excelling in different areas
Embracing fully who we are will make us shine brightly amongst the crowds...
Yes, it's easier said than done...
And ... I am also a woman...
