What is really critical for a working woman?

I have worked since the age of 16 and been on the go all this while. At one point I realized that it was not the best use of life and one needs to slow down and enjoy the comfort of a traditional marriage, or relationship with the man getting over home to a nice well-cooked meal. I did all of that and really worked on cooking dinner, cleaning dishes and keeping up with the house and office front. Still the happiness that I was seeking for or the attention that I longed for was pretty elusive. There was no love and comfort. It was pretty much chasing the dream together by going to office, eating lunch and heading home to some regular cleaning up etc. Infact personal live did not take off and so did the work life. The imbalance led me to run away from that and really work on becoming like one of the Hong Kong women. That did not help me either as the balance was never restored. How does a working woman keep herself really at the top-of her-game. Keep the balance going and ensure that she is loved, wanted and cared for?

There is no simple answer to this question.

But whatever you do you need to be true to yourself.
