A couple of things of late have made me reflect on how we define success and how we try to give advice to others on what they should or need to do to achieve it.
One being a recent article in Femail that was flagged up to me last week.
And I quote:
Louise (Vesey) is one of a new breed of middle-class women who, quite simply, consider themselves too clever to have children.
‘You can be too intelligent to have children,’ she says. ‘To reach your full intellectual potential you need to be childless. If you are a thinking woman it’s more sensible not to become a parent.’
