I believe in equity because it recognizes the inherent differences among individuals and seeks to rectify historical injustices. It's time for society to shift its focus from mere equality to true equity, where every person has the opportunity to thrive regardless of their background or circumstances. Only then can we truly claim to live in a just and fair society.

In pursuit of personal fulfillment, let's not forget the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to keep society functioning.

The saying, “Sometimes our ego writes a check that our pride can’t cash,” serves as a reminder to keep our ego in check, acknowledge our limitations, and strive for a balance that fosters personal development and harmonious interactions with others. Balancing ego and pride is the key to unlocking our true potential without falling victim to the pitfalls of overconfidence.

It mirrors the reality of an imperceptible systemic limitation of opportunities in education and career advancement for women, as well as the burden of society’s expectations regarding women's roles in housework and as primary caregivers, particularly when they have children.
