Little Wins for Working Women


Just read this book entitled 'Little Wins for Working Women' by Jen Dalitz, recently. I received the book when I went for Asia Pac Conference in Canberra, Aussie. This was quite some time ago (well, years ago.Haha)...That time, this book not quite interest me...Hehe...And I really did not know where I put it until the other day when my brother decided to clean his room. Like every normal sister, mesti nak menyebok kan. Time tu la, I accidentally stepped on this book (tengah kemas, barang semua were thrown on the floor =.='). Still in good condition, I thought of giving it a read.

Well, I found that it is actually a very good book. About working women, juggling their working life, life at home and life as a woman. I really feel that I've been inspired by this book. Learned to love and celebrate the little wins.


These are some of the captions that give inspiration to me:

"Learning to think 'little' is not about compromise, accepting less or lowering your expectations. It's about quality over quantity; outcomes not hours; detail and discernment." by Jen Dalitz

"little wins give you the emotional boost to keep going when you miss out on the promotions; you forget to pick the kids up; your electricity is disconnected because you forgot to pay the bill; or friends visit unexpectedly to find a home that's in a shambles and an empty fridge! 

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone! An you're not a failure.

Because in the very same day you may have receive a compliment from your boss, remembered your mum's birthday; or made it to the gym for the first time this month!" by Jen Dalitz



"The thing about little wins is that they can give you just as much satisfaction as even your greatest goals if given half the chance" by Jen Dalitz

Anyway, that's about it. Kalau nak tahu banyak lagi please do buy and read the book. ^___^

Thumbs up. I give it 4/5.
