Based on this experience, I began to wonder why is it that women tend to be better investors than men. I thought about it over and over, and I could not ignore facts. Women make successful investors.

But why? I think it comes down to three simple words: EGO, EGO, EGO. The one thing that most men have in common is a big ego. Men tend to let their egos make their decisions for them. They hold when they should sell. They buy in for fear of missing out on that one big opportunity. In other words, they invest not to get best deal out of market but invest so that they look good (or not look bad).

Usually when people think of investing, they think of taking chances and risks. But truth is that investing has much more to do with emotional intelligence than most people realize. Emotional intelligence is ability to think objectively about a situation and not get too emotionally involved in it. Women, in general, possess a high emotional intelligence.

My dream is...

· Of women loving uniquely beautiful bodies they were born with.

· Of no one wasting another minute of their short, precious life trying to diet into some skinny, impossible ideal.

· Of women in beautiful, curvy, womanly bodies fully ripe and gorgeously inhabited.

· Of women doing good work in world and loving their families instead of obsessing about food and what size they wear.

· Of a world that no longer shames naturally curvy female body.

· Of bigotry toward body sizes fading away and becoming as unacceptable as bigotry toward skin color or race.

· Of children being accepting of varying body sizes instead of learning to make fun of each other.
