Desperate-Asian-Housewives-Story of a desperate housewife
Desperate Asian Housewives
What is your impression of the term "Desperate Housewives?"
Many people commonly have the impression that housewives are
unimportant and irrelevant in society and that they could only
possibly be desperate for money, sex and scandals. Does this truly
reflect the image of housewives? The stereotypical belief of
"worthlessness" probably comes about when housewives are perceived as
doing "NOTHING" of value.What is the worth of housewives and what
could they possibly be desperate for?
WHAT IS YOUR WORTH?
AN EXCERPT FROM MY E-BOOK, "DESPERATE ASIAN HOUSEWIVES", DESCRIBES A
TYPICAL CONVERSATION WHENEVER I MEET PEOPLE:
"Do you work?" or "What do you do?"
This is the inevitable question which I have grown accustomed to
being asked whenever I meet other people. Each time this question is
asked, it arouses in me a tinge of annoyance. Almost immediately,
after exchanging introductory pleasantries, a piece of card bearing
testimony to their ranking through their job title, would also be
handed out. Part of this whole process is a subtle way to establish
their implied status in society. Any conversation will somehow revert
back to the type of work I do so as to establish my position in
society..... .................
DOES ALL THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? DO YOU ASK THE SAME QUESTION? THIS
SCENARIO SEEMS TO BE THE SOCIAL WAY OF LIFE AND YOU TEND TO PLAY
ALONG, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
WHEN YOU ARE REPEATEDLY ASKED THIS QUESTION, DO YOU, OUT OF
FRUSTRATION AND DESPERATION, BEGIN TO QUESTION YOUR ROLE AND YOUR
WORTH?
\"ARE HOUSEWIVES UNIMPORTANT?\"
\"ARE HOUSEWIVES UNWORTHY AND IRRELEVANT?\"
\"DO HOUSEWIVES HAVE ANY REAL SUBSTANCE?\"
MOREVER, HOUSEWIVES ARE GENERALLY PERCEIVED AS OLD-FASHIONED,
UNSOPHISTICATED AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REAL WORLD. SOME BELIEVE
HOUSEWIVES ARE ONLY GOOD AT CLEANING, COOKING AND FOR HAVING SEX! AND
THAT THEY WHILE AWAY THEIR TIME SHOPPING, DRINKING COFFEE WITH FRIENDS
AND GOSSIPING.
HOW ARE HOUSEWIVES COMPARED TO THE REST OF SOCIETY? ARE THEY
MARGINALISED AND HAVE NO STANDING IN SOCIETY? DO THEIR ROLES REMAIN
UNHEARD, UNSEEN, UNPAID AND UNRECOGNIZED? DO THEY EVEN COUNT AT ALL?
CAN THEY BE CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE? HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RISE
ABOVE THESE STEREOTYPICAL CONSTRICTING IMAGE?
YOU TEND TO FEEL PRESSURED TO PERFORM TO SOCIETY'S STANDARD MEASURE
OF SUCCESS. YOU HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED, CONDITIONED AND PROGRAMMED TO
ACT IN LINE WITH SOCIETY'S EXPECTATIONS OF THE NORMS OF SUCCESS. YOU
DO NOT WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND OR DROP OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND BE
CONSIDERED A FAILURE.
OUR MATERIALISTIC SOCIETY GENERALLY MEASURES SUCCESS BY WHAT YOU
POSSESS: BIG BUNGALOWS, CLUB MEMBERSHIPS, BIG CARS, LOTS OF MONEY AND
HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS. IT FUNDAMENTALLY BOILS DOWN TO OWNING
MATERIALISTIC SYMBOLS TO BE LABELED SUCCESSFUL. HOW THEN, DO YOU COPE
IN A SOCIETY WHERE UNABASHED FLAUNTING OF ICONS OF SUCCESS IS THE
MEANS BY WHICH PEOPLE DEMONSTRATE AND MEASURE THEIR ATTAINMENT OF
SUCCESS?
SHOUD YOU ACCEPT THE NARROW INTERPRETATION OF SUCCESS? DISCOVER THE
TRUE MEANING OF SUCCESS. ARE YOU NOT WORTHY OF SUCCESS? CAN YOU BE
HAPPY IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE?
AN EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE BY THE AUTHOR, PUBLISHED IN THE STRAITS
TIMES INTERACTIVE, SEPT 2, 2006 IS.................
\".....BUT IN FACT, PURSUING MATERIAL SUCCESS IS ONLY A PART OF THE
BIGGER PICTURE OF SUCCESS. THE REALM OF SUCCESS ALSO INCLUDES
PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, GOOD CHARACTER, A HAPPY
RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, INTRINSIC QUALITIES AND A
BALANCED WORK-LIFE AMONG MANY OTHERS.\"
IN \"DESPERATE ASIAN HOUSEWIVES\" I PRESENT UNCONVENTIONAL VIEWS TO
DISPEL THESE CONVENTIONAL BELIEFS. BE CAPTIVATED BY THE FASCINATING
TALES OF \"DESPERATE ASIAN HOUSEWIVES" AS ENCAPSULATED IN MY LIFE
ENCOUNTERS AS A DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE.
DISCOVER HOW I TRANSFORMED MYSELF TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL IN MY OWN WAY.
YOUR POSITION IN SOCIETY
So what is your position in society? From my personal
experiences, a housewife is placed pretty close to the very bottom of
society. When society perceives your contributions to be of no value,
soon you even start to believe it yourself. You become a victim and
start to believe that you are "unworthy" or "worthless" and believe
your position in society.
Do housewives' roles fit in a world of materialism? Society largely
measures your worth in terms of economic value regardless of your
other contributions or any other intrinsic qualities you may possess;
so it follows that a person with a higher earning power is perceived
to have a higher status and is considered more worthy than a person
with lower earning power. Is this an accurate assessment of a person's
worth?
Are power, money and position, the only icons of success? Worth and
success have been associated largely to your earning capacity. The
glitzy icons of material success portrayed, sometimes create a
somewhat elusive impression of undeservedly importance and power by
projecting an artificial idyllic realm that is in no way related to a
person's true worth.
Is success beyond my reach? We have been conditioned with messages
of a perceived higher class and higher status, if we possess certain
symbols of success. Do you need to have economic power, fame and
position in society to be deemed successful? These are the icons of
success that have been invented and set by society and which we are
expected to conform to in order to be seen as successful.
So, where do I stand as an Asian housewife? Even though I take on
numerous tasks, these do not count as "work". Should worth and success
be only tied to your work? Are Asian housewives any different from
housewives around the world? Are we valued differently? Does our
upbringing or the society we live in, influence and shape our way of
thinking differently? Read into the thoughts of a desperate Asian
housewife.
Are you assessed and labeled based on the things you possess, how
much you earn or the person you are?
With neither power nor status, how do you find success and feel
happy in life?
How do you overcome challenges to get out of limiting situations?
Should you grumble how unfair the world is and that there is no
place for you?
Should you let all the negative thoughts hold you back from
expanding your horizons?
Should you blame the system, society, country and everyone else
except yourself?

preserve my self esteem and self confidence in "Desperate Asian
