Motivation comes from within, and therefore it is important for women to change their mindset for gender equality to work. This means women must have the Can Do attitude first, and pursue their dreams.
I never believe in a quota system, whether it is in a private or public organisation. Neither should this happen in the parliament nor the High Court. Put it simply, it is about meritocracy.
There were tokenistic women movements for years, songs sung and books written promoting the image of women, and empowering the women to fight for their rights. Fight is not a good choice of word because it has a connotation of confrontation, which causes barriers to be put up, creates resistance and separates both genders further. No one likes losing, and loser will think of a way to bring the winner down.
Successful women are not just those glamorous images portrayed in the glossy magazine, or those dressed up like men in suits, They can be experts underneath the cars fixing and tuning them to run like a charm. They may be those in hard hat at construction site or graphic artists producing computer games or animating games.
Given the right training, many women from a food court cooking in the kitchen can be just as successful and entrepreneurial to expand from a single store to become franchisors.
