2. It’s possible to have it all, depending on how you define it.
Kate White, Former Editor-in-Chief of Cosmo: “I think it is absolutely possible to have it all, depending on how you define ‘all.’ You can have a wonderful, successful job and children–there are millions of wonderful, successful women proving it. But there will be stress points in your career, and there will have to be trade-offs… To say that life doesn’t involve those trade-offs is unrealistic.”
“It’s important to know that you have to find ways to set boundaries, because no one will set them for you. No one will ever look at his or her watch and go, ‘Oh, it’s six! You have kids … don’t you have to get out of here?’ Let people see you as the dynamo who’s usually out of the office by a certain hour, who isn’t responding to emails in the evening, but will always get the job done and do it well.”
