You can only do one thing well. You can't be an international footballer and a PhD in chemistry. When a PhD plays football on Sundays or a mayor of a major city scores goals once a month, that's great. But you can't be both.

To be a parent, you have to dedicate your life to it. To build a career, a woman has to spend her life. But a person only has one life. And more often than not, it's the children who suffer from a life wasted on someone else.
