給所有醒目的女人

今早收到一個forward的電郵, 說今天是什麼"International Very Good Looking Damn Smart Woman's Day". 在網上查看一回, 其實都不知道哪一天才真正是這個IVGLDSW Day.

不過作為一個女人, 當然對這些good looking, damn smart的形容詞特別敏感.

電郵上有一個motto:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Have a wonderful day !

後來在網上找尋相關文章時找到一些更有意思及搞笑的語錄, 都和大家分享(HealthyPages.net):

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse. -Lily Tomlin-

Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart. -Caryn Leschen-

Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. -Charlotte Whitton-

I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once. -Jennifer Unlimited-

Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened. -Cora Harvey Armstrong-

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house. -Zsa Zsa Gabor-

同時在網上遊逛, 找到一本書, 名為"Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women" by Christine B. Whelan. 哈, 很想買來看, 最好先叫另一半看一遍, 讓他知道他如何醒目地揀了自己!

這是去年十月才出版的書. 經濟學家Heather Boushey說作者打破了"事業型女人被車撞死比嫁得出更容易"的說法. 此書說的是女人除了可以有成功的事業之外, 也可以同時擁有浪漫, 婚姻及做個好媽媽.

此書亦做了一個調查, 原來被訪問的男士(high-achieving men)當中, 90%都希望找到一個聰明甚至比自己聰明的伴侶; 而三份之二的受訪男士認為能幹的女人更升任作一個好媽媽. (難怪李先生醒目地揀了徐小姐, 她的學歷比他更高, 相信她的IQ一定比他更優勝, 是替李家傳宗接代的好材料!)

越看內容簡介越想買來閱讀!
