Former President of India and late scientist APJ Abdul Kalam's statement seems to change the way many people think and act.

With strong will power, people try to reach the goal from any position and can be successful. There is no set size for success. Moving forward from one's position is one step towards success

I see many successful women around us whose success may seem quite normal to us. We are encouraged to see them again. But the story behind most women moving forward is not easy.

Those who have nurtured the dream in their chests and faced adversity have slowly moved forward.

The three women told bdnews24.com the story behind their ascent and descent.

Being married and being 'settled' is not the only job

Rahatara Ferdousi is currently working as an assistant researcher at the University of Ottawa, Canada.
He told bdnews24.com that he would move forward avoiding various obstacles.

However, to cross this path, I have had to cross the path of many friends from a young age. And I think that every human being has to reach his goal by overcoming various family or social barriers and in the case of women, the level is much higher. ”

Rahatara said he was born into a very ordinary middle class family. Where it is believed that if you become an adult after getting a good education, you will be able to settle down by getting married. The same was the case with him. According to the family, you have to do some kind of study. Because if he is of suitable age, he will be given in marriage. No obstacle could stop him from studying.

After getting good results in SSC, I got up on Inter and was asked to change the subject again. But, I still don't agree with that. I study science by force and I get good results. ”

I take exams in six universities and do 'place' for university admission. I wanted to study IT at Jahangirnagar University. Even though my name was in the top twenty in 'IT' in the admission test, I was not admitted there. Because my father wanted me to be admitted somewhere near home. He did not want to accept studying outside the home. I won the first place in Khulna University. Being close to home, I got admitted in computer science there. ”

Because according to that family, I have to be 'settled'. After marriage, many varsity friends looked a little different. Everyone seemed to have such a contemptuous feeling that getting married meant that my studies and 'career' were all over.

Again, the elders used to say that after studying so much, what will happen now? I became very frustrated and the results started to get worse. "

He concentrated on dealing with these unfavorable environments slowly and re-reading. As a result, the results have been good and he has taken part in various projects and camps. Despite her husband's permission and support, her family opposed her. Nevertheless, she continued these activities with the help of her husband.

Later, on the advice of my husband, I took the exam and was selected as a teacher in Sylhet Metropolitan University. In this case too, we have to face the question of the society whether there is any problem between our husband and wife, these also cause constant mental stress. There was no shortage of people to discourage her husband from helping. ” He said.

Rahatara added, "Even after getting married and working, I had to think about the various questions of the people in my family and society before making any decision and act accordingly, which means I still can't think for myself." But it is also true that if all the restrictions of the society and the family were obeyed, I would not be able to stay at this stage now. ”

According to Rahatara, in order to move forward, it is necessary to pay more attention to one's own interests and qualifications rather than avoiding obstacles. It is possible to stay focused on the goal, otherwise there is a possibility of slipping.
