I Work Hard, I Work Late, I

Of Course, I Am The First Democratically Elected Woman President In Africa, And That Raises A Lot Of Expectations. Because I Represent The Aspirations Of Women All Over Africa, I Must Succeed For Them. I Must Keep The Door Open For Women's Participation In Politics At The Highest Level. That Is Both Humbling And Exciting.

I Work Hard, I Work Late, I Have Nothing On My Conscience. When I Go To Bed, I Sleep.

Leadership Is Never Given On A Silver Platter, One Has To Earn It.

I Believe That There Are Certain Attributes In A Woman That Give Her Some Advantages Over A Man. Women Are Usually More Honest, More Sensitive To Issues And Bring A Stronger Sense Of Commitment And Dedication To What They Do. Maybe Because They Were Mothers, And Being A Mother You Have That Special Attention For The Family, For The Young, For Children…

I Just Think That Unless You Have That Cohesiveness In The Family Unit, The Male Character Tends To Become Very Dominant, Repressive And Insensitive. So Much Of This Comes Also From A Lack Of Education.
