It has become an Atterbury tradition to celebrate the joy and fun of having women in our lives for the whole month of August. The Atterbury Team took up the challenge to share some thoughts with us as part of this special series. This is what Atterbury Developments Quantity Surveyor, Lindy Ras, had to say. #WomensDay #celebratingwomen
Your family wakes you up on Women’s Day with the best gift ever. What is it?
All the lunchboxes and dinners are made and packed for the week and I can stay in bed for the day with a good book.
What is the best girly advice you ever got from a best friend?
Never have debt. Reduce your liabilities as fast as possible, even if it hurts or means that you have to drive in a smaller car or cannot buy all the clothes you want on credit.
What would you say is the most important lesson you want to teach your daughter/s?
To have a teachable spirit. Accept correction from someone that means it with love, do not feel offended by anything and everything that people say.
What advice would you give to parents of sons about teaching boys to value, respect and protect girls and women?
If parents teach their sons to follow God’s way, they will be Mighty men with gentleness towards woman because that is how God created men.
If you could change anything for a particular woman or group of women anywhere, what would it be?
To find their worth in Jesus and not to try and find it in the way they look or in their jobs or anywhere else.
What is the best piece of advice you ever got from a woman?
Cry, mourn, shout, repeat, but never ever give up.
