No.1
It's quite amazing, when you ponder on it, to think how priorities keep changing as you grow older.
When I was a student, topping the list of priorities was 'Studies'. Soon 'Career' and 'Work' climbed its way to the top. A short while later, when holy matrimony swept me off my feet, 'Family' settled on its perch at Priority No.1.That soon gave way to 'Son'and that has continued to top the list till now.
I wonder whether it is similar for most other women who marry and raise families. Do family and children become the all-important factors in your life at a certain age? Everytime I've found myself facing a tough decision, my priorities bailed me out.Whether it was leaving a permanent job more than four times in my nine-yearlong teaching career or not taking up positions that weren't in line with what was most important for me,life for me has always followed the path lain down by my priorities.
Now when I'm standing at the edge once again, forced to take difficult decisions, I'm thankful to have my set of priorities guide my way. Thankful to know that my son, my all-time No.1, is more important than the grandest of salaries in the world for me.
