Quote of the Day

Carrie Lukas, blogging at Acculturated, about the frustrations of modern feminists. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.

People who dedicate themselves fully to one arena, whether that’s work or parenting, are almost always going to achieve more in their chosen specialty than those of us who dabble in both.

Most of us are going to end up somewhere in the middle, and we hope to strike a balance that seems right to us. The good news is that society has become more innovative and created many more options for how we allocate our time. However, that doesn’t change the basic fact of life that our time is finite, and that not everyone can win a gold medal in everything they do.

Rich or poor, smart or stupid, everybody gets the same 24 hours each day to use or waste. Life is a series of trade-offs, "having it all" is not a realistic option  - carpe diem.
