The mission of human life is to attain success. What does Success mean? Success can mean many things to different people. For some it is marrying the “right” person, having beautiful kids, acquiring wealth, or being popular. For others it means being recognized and appreciated for one’s talents, whether they be in business, arts, sports, or another field. Achieving goals is powerful and affects our success in life. Traditionally women are the homemakers, whilst men were in charge of bringing home the bread. In the past, it has been considerably hard for women to become successful as they were not permitted to break the gender boundaries placed upon them. Being a girl is cool, but it isn’t always easy! For no good reason, girls are not always given the same chances as boys. It is not an honor for man to succeed but It is a great honor for a woman to succeed despite her limited resources. Successful women are role models for other women in society. Samiya Hameed is one such successful girl who is a role model for other young girls. Samiya Hameed is from Karachi.

The biggest challenge facing women internationally is the fundamental inequality of political and economic opportunity that the majority of women in the world face. Now younger girls are taking control of their lives and making an impact in the world around them through the unique opportunities offered by the digitalised world today, that makes communication and access to services faster and easier. This is why more females are venturing into entrepreneurship from a younger age to become financially stable and independent. Success is an abstract word that is seen by the position of a person at the point, But, usually what is neglected between the success and a woman as an entrepreneur is the hard work. Achieving success is not easy but when it is achieved with the right way of hard work and compassion, nobody can stop women from reaching her goal. Samiya’s successful life is the great example of this. She is a great example of success. She has proved that nothing is impossible. She is a role model for all the women.
