Every woman lives by a code, whether she realizes it or not. It informs how she treats others and herself, how much she expects of herself, and how far she is willing to go in order to find success.

"Ich war nur kurz abgelenkt." Viele Menschen halten sich für gute und empathische Zuhörer. Das ist ein Trugschluss - das Gegenteil ist der Fall.
