How Motherhood Liberated Me
‘My daughter doesn’t care if I’m exceptional. She just cares that I am hers.’ By Raina Raskin. May 2024
Why I chose to re-post Raina Raskin's personal account on my blog.
How Motherhood Liberated Me, by Raina Raskin.
Raina Raskin is an editorial assistant in The New York Times opinion section.
Follow her on X @tinychalice.
Original publication on May 11, 2024 on The Free Press.
I am a subscriber to The Free Press, and I came across an article where the author wrote, "Despite all my attempts to distinguish myself, I've ended up like every other mother." This statement piqued my curiosity, so I continued to read the rest of the article. The article highlighted the challenges of raising children and how being a mother, whether raising one or multiple children, is an even more difficult task.
Raising children requires an enormous amount of emotional and physical effort. One can only truly understand this by experiencing it firsthand. While people can showcase their talents and superiority in various aspects of life, such as running a successful business, being a CEO of a large corporation, or even leading a country, nothing compares to the role of a mother raising a human being.
Mothers are unique because, from the moment of conception, the living being is connected to her. Even a small mistake by the mother can have a significant impact on the development of the child. This level of responsibility and influence is unparalleled in any other role or profession.
As a father of two, I was deeply moved by Raina Raskin's personal account in her article about motherhood, especially on this Mother's Day. It reminded me that despite our flaws and biases, mothers hold a unique and revered position in our society. The role of a mother is truly exceptional, and the challenges and responsibilities that come with it are unlike any other in life.
There is no room for second chances in either parenting or motherhood, making the journey all the more remarkable. I encourage you to read Raina Raskin's story, which I have republished on my site from The Free Press. Please note that I have not reached out to either to The Free Press nor Raina Raskin for permission. This article was copy and posted from the The Free Press subcription on May 11, 2024.

My Latest Book Review
12 Rules for Life.
Jordan B. Peterson.
October 2021
Yes, I love non-fiction books.
I have always been fascinated by other people’s experiences and events that have occurred. My keen interest remains in the many aspects of the business world. I believe understanding and absorbing from a variety of sources will give us a formidable foundation for everything we do and the actions we take. It gives meaning to the parabolic quote, “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” The knowledge from these sources gives an opportunity to compare, relate and think, cognitively and empirically.
Reading is good for you, at any age.
You can learn only so much in school. There is a limit.
A good friend of mine from high school became a heart surgeon. One day he had a change of heart! Instead of mending hearts, he decided to incorporate technology in human physiology. How did he make the conversion? He read books on technology. He read voraciously until he transcended to where he wants to be!
When I read, I make my own cliff-notes and store them in a folder on my computer. Easy access for future references.
I hope my book reviews and suggestions are helpful in your transcending.
I wish you All the Best!
Leaders Teach
Leadership of James Lenon.
Leadership is a fundamental and important part of life and business. Looking back, I see my father’s upbringing where he read under kerosene lamps, and then became a successful entrepreneur in decorative lighting powered by electricity. When I came to the United States of America, I was exposed to millions of stories like his.
The good news is that leadership can be learned. The best way to learn is by observing leaders around us and assimilating their qualities, behaviors and even best practices. Observe what qualities make great leaders. If you have similar qualities, think about how you can implement them. If not, what should you do to acquire those qualities?
“ The only true voyage would be not to travel through a hundred different lands with the same pair of eyes, but to see the same land through a hundred different pairs of eyes.”
– Marcel Proust
In that in mind, I asked leaders in our community for their wisdom. My hope is that we all will use their advice as our tribe of mentors.
I was fortunate to meet Mr. James Lenon, entrepreneur and restauranteur. He is the founder and owner of two fast food restaurants, Magic Wings and Things, located in Newnan, Georgia, USA. The scheduled 30-minute conversation lasted 2 hours. He is fascinating. The conversation made me realize that when we refer to the American Entrepreneur, we are referring to people such as him.
His ethos and ideals are the epitome of the American Dream. He showcases the true American spirit where, regardless of circumstance, an individual can be successful by taking calculated risks and working diligently.
Booker T. Washington said, “Cast down your bucket where you are.” The United States is a resourceful country. Opportunities abound. The recipe for success is having the right character. This is the foundation of the American dream. And that is exactly what Mr. Lenon demonstrates. His stories and his thoughts energized me. His words confirmed, yes, I can too. At the end of the interview, I encouraged him to share his message and experience with middle school, high school, and university students. He has the right message to empower today's generation.
I’m confident you will be impressed and will learn from James’ advice.
