Has anyone ever seen the movie "Working Girl"..it came out in 1988. I sort of feel like I can identify a little bit with this movie..the relationship between the boss and her assistant...along with other things that happened in this movie. The tag line for this movie is "For anyone who's ever won. For anyone who's ever lost. And for everyone who's still in there trying" and combine that with a really good song by Carly Simon called "Let the River Run"..and you've got an instant uplifting moment. Sometimes when I come home after a long day or have a wonderful day where I feel like anything is possible..I'll often sort hum along to this song. It gives the feeling of unity among everyone that has to work for a living (especially women) and are trying to prove themselves in a workforce.
I'm sure you are wondering where all this is coming from..I think it's combination of changing jobs - finally truly feeling wanted/needed by the workforce/making my own mark and giving up my identity as a single woman just trying to make it on my own. Those struggles have really shaped me into who I am: a lover of the underdog, tired of those who underestimate my intelligence, learning to stick up for myself in the workplace, and to learning/determining my own worth.

I have a similar emotion when I come home from a productive day, but instead of Working Girl, I identify with the Karate Kid. And, as we all know, the theme from that movie was the hit song, "You're the Best Around." I find it to often be appropriate. :)
You forgot the best part of Working Girl. Yes ladies, hunky Harrison Ford. Personally, I find the "It's a Perfect Day" song from Legally Blonde to be rather inspiring.
