I don't think women can have it all. i just don't think so...my husband and i have been married for 34 years, and we have two daughters. and every day you have to make a decision about whether you are going to be a wife or a mother. in fact, many times during the day you have to make those decisions...we co-opted our families to help us. we plan our lives meticulously so we can be decent parents. but if you ask our daughters, i'm not sure they will say that i've been a good mom.

More From Indra Nooyi

There are times where i'd say the oval office, you use to gather the facts. the decisions you probably make late at night, or at least i do. but there are some times where you think you've made a decision, but during that walk, where you're announcing the decision, you've just got to make sure that, you're prepared to live with it, because as you know george, a lot of these decisions are not - the outcomes are uncertain.

People talked about being a parent, or being a mother or a father. we don't talk about "wiving" our husbands or "friending" our friends, or "childing" our parents. we just talk about being in a relationship with those people. you don't measure whether your marriage was good based on whether or not your husband is better now than he was 10 years ago, or whether your friend is richer than when they first became your friend. the relationships between parents and children is a kind of love, rather than a kind of work.

Our world has created a false unrealistic image of what women are supposed to look like and act like. but the truth is that every woman was not created by god to be skinny, with a flawless complexion and long flowing hair. not every woman was intended to juggle a career as well as all of the other duties of being a wife, mother, citizen, and daughter. single women should not be made to feel they are missing somenthing because they are not married. married women should not be made to feel they must have a career to be complete. we must have the freedom to be our individual selves.

But many, many stories were told; from what could be gathered, all fifty of the mine's inhabitants had reacted on each other, two by two, as in combinatorial analysis, that is to say, everyone with all the others, and especially every man with all the women, old maids or married, and every woman with all the men. all i had to do was to select two names at random, better if different sex, and ask a third person, "what happened with those two?" and lo and behold, a splendid story was unfolded for me, since everyone knew the story of everyone else.
Sex Men Two
When we first got married, we made a pact. it was this: in our life together, it was decided i would make all of the big decisions and my wife would make all of the little decisions. for fifty years, we have held true to that agreement. i believe that is the reason for the success in our marriage. however, the strange thing is that in fifty years, there hasn’t been one big decision.

If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no'.
