No one is going to invite you to make all your dreams come true.
This woman is a hero. She looked for a solution to a problem. She didn't complain about the problem incessantly. Muriel Steibert, the "First Lady of Wall Street" formed her own firm, when she realized there was no other way to earn the same amount of salary as her male counterparts. Before she made the decision to branch off, she made 60% what men made. While there is some income disparity between men and women, the gap is shrinking. More woman go to college and professional schools. There is still a way to go, but we need to use examples such as these to inspire us to move forward when faced with our own obstacles.
I find that too often, people fixate on complaints. That gets them no where. Sure, in the moment it may feel better. But then what? Find a solution, or a series of small steps you need to take to position you for success. Don't take no for an answer!
