Don’t aim to break the glass ceiling; aim to shatter it.

सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदो यज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः।

यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम्॥ ४-३०

Meanings:- All these performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful reactions, and, having tasted the nectar of the results of sacrifices, they advance toward the supreme eternal atmosphere.

Explanation: - The main aim of performing the sacrifices explained in the Vedas is to have control over senses. The only cause of one’s existence in the material world is Sense gratification. Hence, until and unless one takes control of his senses, he/she cannot be elevated to an eternal platform of full knowledge, full bliss and full life.

Life is not at all the bed of roses, everyone has to suffer in their odds. Those who managed to float over these unfavourable circumstances learns to tackle the life and emerged as an exotic embodiment.

 In the 1880s, when India was reeling under British rule and women were expected to remain confined to their homes, eighteen-year-old Anandi refused to budge from her decision — to go to America and study medicine.Her decision was mocked by her townsfolk in the erstwhile Bombay Presidency of India. ‘How can an upper-caste Brahmin woman even think of taking the forbidden path?" they wondered. Despite wide protests, stone pelting at the postal office where Gopal Rao worked, and abusive comments, the couple moved ahead with Anandi’s plan – of pursuing medicine abroad and come back fully trained to successfully treat patients back home.She turned out to be one of the sincerest students. Once, she impressed her instructor by being the only one in the class to sit through the autopsy of an infant. When Anandi finally received her degree in medicine in 1886, the dean of the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania was very happy. He informed Queen Victoria, the Empress of India, about Anandi’s accomplishments, and the Queen sent her a congratulatory message. The Albert Edward Hospital in the princely Indian state of Kolhapur expressed the desire to appoint Anandi as physician-in-charge of the women’s wards and also wanted her to train female students to become general practitioners.
