‘I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.’  –Golda Meir

Golda Meir lived for a single goal that was impossible to achieve. All of her efforts were for this particular goal. She achieved it.

In the process, she set an example for what a person in control of her situation is capable of:

• Valedictorian despite being poor
• Wife
• Mother
• Signer of Israeli Declaration of Independence
• Prime minister
• Iron Lady of Israeli politics
• Personally visited families of soldiers killed in battle

…and yes, she was a woman.
