Exactly. The same is true of men who put career ahead of their family, and is true of anyone who puts career ahead of becoming the best human being they can be. Everyone eventually dies. What do you want your life to be about? I've seen too many people 'of stature' come and go, and be forgotten (after some fawning retirement dinner of some sort). If you haven't built a personal life, and given love and help to people, you will be very lonely when the spotlight is turned off you and onto someone else.
The hard cold fact is, guys aren’t interested in how successful a woman is in her career.
