Who/what inspires you? Why?
My mother inspires me with her strength of character. She’s been through things I never want to experience. And yet, though it all, she has maintained a remarkable spirit of hope and caring. The love and attention she has showered us with has never diminished.. from childhood till today.
My father inspires me with his determination and drive, that yielded my strong academic performance throughout school.
My son inspires me become a better person, so that he in turn can cultivate the good character traits that will enable him to live a good, honest life.
Finally, I am inspired by successful professional women who prove, by being where they are in the organisational hierarchy, that women can perform at a level equivalent to their male counterparts.
If you could change one thing in your world, what would that be?
I want to be more forgiving, and appreciative of what I have now, instead of pondering upon what could or should have been. That would change a lot of things for me.
