Women are called difficult and tough when (1) we negotiate the best deal, (2) we are perfectionists in doing our job, (3) we are willing to work harder and longer than men are willing to, and (4) when we question anything - anything - that someone else is doing, particularly if that someone is a man.

Reality is the only place you can deal from. If you're still worrying about the way things should be, you haven't even approached the starting line.

Cash is cold comfort under these circumstances. But make no mistake about it; It is some comfort.
