People who are proud of themselves tend to have passions in life, feel content and set good examples for others. Being proud of yourself requires envisioning the person you would like to become and making your best efforts to grow as an individual. Don\u2019t think that if you are a woman you can\u2019t do it. You can do it in a fantastic way. Problems arise when women are trying to run away from opportunities with big responsibilities, because that is the ultimate masculine-coded authority position and we subconsciously take steps back. We shouldn\u2019t. Keep working for your dreams and do it confidently.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-447195 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/moldova2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/moldova2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/moldova2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/moldova2-400x500.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dorina also recommended a book that was, in turn, recommended to her by Kirsty Hair, one of the Cisco Meraki leaders, and that could open some secrets for success \u2013 <strong>\u201cLean In\u201d by Sheryl Sandberg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if she would change anything, Dorina said a confident \u2018no\u2019. <em>\u201cEverything that happened in my life was definitely given for a good reason.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Photos: Facebook\/ Dorina Calistru<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 6<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>\u201cYou should never forget your roots and be proud of where you are coming from.

She managed to build a successful career, lives in a city of all possibilities and enjoys an active social life. We asked her to make some recommendations for her followers and successors and here is her message:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cNever stop growing and be proud of you no matter what \u2013 these are the words I grew up with and for that I want to thank my inspiration, a wonderful woman in my life \u2013 my mom. People who are proud of themselves tend to have passions in life, feel content and set good examples for others. Being proud of yourself requires envisioning the person you would like to become and making your best efforts to grow as an individual. Don\u2019t think that if you are a woman you can\u2019t do it. You can do it in a fantastic way. Problems arise when women are trying to run away from opportunities with big responsibilities, because that is the ultimate masculine-coded authority position and we subconsciously take steps back. We shouldn\u2019t. Keep working for your dreams and do it confidently.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-447195 aligncenter\"
