You're happy Everything is nice and from 11 in the lecture for good. Ah But for me I knew whatever I'm going to do in life. And that's why I want you ladies to do that I Really have confidence Don't go with the guys but the border guys and I'm not discouraging anybody I don't have money and you settle there and you have six children. What are you going to feed your children stones? They stay no money. Yeah, you are telling us, but there's no money. Did you not know he was a border rider? Yeah, even you start looking for money stop this somewhere in your husband's in here So for me, I really had a dream where I thought I was going to have one child because when you get to London Oh, there was who's have one child Is it because they cannot have any more children? Yes or no But because they want good life for themselves true or false So the more children you have the more money you have in China if you have to They'll take you to jail. You know that One child one home, you know that So that was me for me. I had already done my homework and thought After 10 years your marriage is a chakal kuta, but I'm not going to say anything. I'll continue making money So he leveled off to 23. I got tired at 23 years of marriage. I never told anybody apart from my dad Say that he thinks this is not for me. I have one child by then she was I think 13 or 14. I want to go. I just want to I'm not happy Why am I telling you this always be happy? Nobody else can never make you happy. You make yourself happy Nobody will never give you happy. So if you're waiting for your Empowerment bosses to make you happy So if you're going for empowerment, make sure you are happy content you're going to do that a hundred and not a hundred percent a 30% it's in your so for me idea after 23 of my marriage I walked out and what did I want to go to coronary school?

I didn't have a lot of money then but I don't have I'm not that rich I'm comfortable anything I want in life I can afford it's not called a million days called what? Comfortable when you get there then you can you can decide what to do So for me, I go to Western Minister College, and the course was 48 weeks U.s. He's 12 months, and then you give them jobs They can go they don't even have to finish God you know you are spoiled Bruns We didn't have that So you're going for 48 weeks full You're doing the fast cooking and the next one you're going pastry, and I hate pastry if your pastry chef move over I hate it.
