Last weekend, Hillary Clinton officially backed out of the race for President and showed her support for Barack Obama. No matter what your political views are there is a lesson here for all of us who are trying to climb the corporate ladder, build their business or whatever we deem to succeeding in life.

By showing she has the brains and the brawl to run, she has made the path to the White House smoother for those who will follow. Even her harshest critics admit she is smart, tough, disciplined and incredibly hardworking.

Thanks to Hillary, there cannot be many Americans left who still doubt that a woman could be president. The real message here is thanks to Hillary Clinton’s highly visible example, it more plausible and more socially acceptable for Americans in every field of endeavor to imagine a woman at the top.

So we all owe her a debt of gratitude.
