In light of the dialogue created by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book, "Lean In" and The Huffington Post's first ever women’s conference, “The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money & Power,” both men and women are intent on determining what makes a person "successful."

This article explores the bigger challenge women face in defining and adapting to various roles, as dictated by society, in the pursuit of "having it all."

Especially loved that quote! "“Nothing women ever really use to define—and judge—ourselves means anything at all. That is, of course, unless we let it.”

SO much truth!

So inpiring article. It reminds me of my mother. She always says that she is succesful enough if she see us, siblings, grew in good conduct and reached our milestone. She only thinks all about her children.
