会太迟吗?

人生需要储备。
健康需要储备。
知识需要储备。
经济需要储备。
就连捍卫自己的信念原则也都需要储备。

最近,阅一书,做人妻为人母、身为女人也极其需要储备。
作者说:“我相信一个妻子原本是有许多功课要做的, 而且有许多功课是在她成为妻子之前就要准备好了的… ”这句话在我心里起了小小的震撼。

原来,在决定成为妻子的当儿才开始做功课已然算迟了!
的确。能否把一件事做好;或是为何没能将一件事做好;又或是能够将一件事做得多好,
除了时机、际遇与缘分外,另一个的原因便是自身的储备。
这不仅仅是事件发生之前,行动上与精神上的准备,
也包括了在某个阶段开始之前,知识领域里、经济范围内、心态上以及情绪上的储备。

做人妻、为人母、身为女人、女儿、媳妇,
甚至是未来婆婆岳母外婆祖母的角色,
我的储备够吗?

对于不足的、尚有欠缺的、还需加强的、还未开发的...
现在开始做功课,会太迟吗?

Very inspiring and set me thinking about my life...now...and the future. Am I ready to face what is in store for me? Hmmm..mmm..why am i working so hard now?

Yes i felt the same too when i first came across that sentence... women are often required to multitask, and we tend to wear many hats.

Recalled the transition from girlfriend to wife to mum, our tasks never fail to pile up and our roles need constant improvising...

On the other hand, it is a blessing to possess multiple roles. It's a woman's priviledge ;)

In whichever case, i'm sure you have much lesser homework to do as compared to many of us... Had always admire your accomodative, supportive, cool-headed yet principled personality. gotta learn from you :)

Big big cheers to our ever-ending homework ;)
