A Woman’s Dream: Perfect Balance in Family and Career

Can You Have It All?’ is a frequent topic for debate, interesting mainly among women men somehow do not seem to have to ask the question. It is also the title of the biography by Nicola Horlick, nicknamed in the British media as Superwoman’ for seemingly managing to run her own multi-million dollar investment company whilst running a home, bringing up five children, and still managing to look good. Only she knows the true answer. We all have the same 24 hours in a day, yet some people do manage to get a lot more done than others, but something always has to give somewhere.

The housework can be delegated, the ironing, the cooking, cleaning the car etc. But a telephone call to a friend, reading a book, conversation and fun with the family cannot be outsourced.
