MRS CHAN SAID THAT THE WOMAN PLAYED A UNIQUE AND INDISPENSIBLE ROLE IN HOLDING THE FAMILY TOGETHER, AND PROVIDING THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH YOUNGSTERS COULD BE NURTURED TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS AND FUTURE LEADERS.
SHE THEREFORE URGED GRADUATES WHO ASPIRED TO CAREERS NOT TO OVERLOOK THE IR MORE TRADITIONAL ROLES AS WIVES, MOTHERS AND HOMEMAKERS.
HOWEVER, MRS CHAN CAUTIONED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE EASY TO STRIKE A PROPER BALANCE BETWEEN THE DEMANDS OF ONE'S FAMILY AND ONE'S CAREER.
IT HELPED IF YOU RECOGNISED YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, AND SET YOURSELF REALISTIC GOALS, SHE SAID, ADDING THAT: +YOU MUST DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU - IF NECESSARY BY SEEKING GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION AND HAVING MADE YOUR DECISION, YOU MUST HAVE THE MORAL COURAGE TO STICK WITH IT. THIS IS WHAT EDUCATION IS ALL ABOUT. +
