Celebrate ‘International Women’s Day’ with Kaymu Bangladesh

In honour of every woman all over the world Kaymu Bangladesh celebrates International Women’s Day. On this occasion, we asked some of our successful women sellers three simple questions: ‘Who is your woman role model? How does she inspire you?’ ’ How would you define a successful woman? And ‘ What would you like to advice to the women of today?’ Here is what they have to say:Symun Solaiman : Owner of Smart Shop‘Aung San Suu Kyi is one of my most favorite role model. She is a global symbol of moral courage in the face of repression. Her determination, patience, courage and personal sacrifice in working for human rights and democratic change in Burma inspires me and countless people around the world to go ahead who strive for peace, justice and freedom.The process of defining successful woman can be a rich journey; they’re giving it a much needed makeover. Success for women is a journey with peaks and valleys, setbacks and mistakes, achievement and disappointment. When she overcomes all, she is definitely a successful woman.My father often says, “The life you choose, the price you pay”. How you define success is actually your key to success. Find Your Balance, Anything in excess is not a good thing. Have passion, have determinations, don’t afraid, believe in yourself. Most importantly have patience like a mother!’Farwah Tasnim : Owner of Glitters‘My mother got married at a very early age and conceived her first child soon after. Even then, she continued her studies amidst all difficulties and went on to become a home maker because she felt the need to stay back with her children at home. These were courageous choices she made and she lived life her way prioritizing her goals in life. Anything and everything I know today is because of her and she inspires me every day to reach greater heights.A successful woman is someone who has had success defined in her own terms and has worked hard and has been courageous enough to overcome obstacles to achieve the target she has set up for herself. Today`s women are very career driven so I would hope they ensure proper work life balance and be successful both in their family lives and their career.’Farzana Islam : Owner of Farzana Dress and Design‘My woman role model is mother Teresa. Mother Teresa`s task was overwhelming. She started out as just one woman, with no money and no supplies, trying to help the millions of poor, starving, and dying that lived on the streets this is how she inspire me.The way women today work to achieve the perfect work/life balance is a successful womanI would like to advice to the women of today that, do something you are passionate about,do something you love,At the same time, we should be authentic and grounded in the realities of business today.’Sharmin Nusrat : Owner of Tomas Unique Collection‘I have no specific role model. All women who want to do something to achieve their own identity they always inspire me.According to me success for a woman is achieve all of those things which they really deserve and Keep trying until reach the goal.In our society still it’s difficult to achieve something. But every woman has as much as capability like any man. So please don’t lose hope earlier. Keep trying to achieve what you deserve. We all deserve our independence.’In the spirit of International Women’s Day and to honor all the women out there and celebrate this day together, Kaymu.com.bd has taken the initiative to assemble a ‘Women’s Day’ Collection on the website from where woman can treat themselves or the loved ones with something special.
