Quotes About Weakness Novels & Stories

Nagpunta kami sa gilid at agad siyang kinausap, "Come on here, hon, don't let our enemy read your weakness." Makahulugang sambit ko sa kaniya. "Hindi naman talaga ako matalino...." Sabi niya sa akin. I just stare at her. "You're not smart, i know, pero kaya mong bigyan ng solusyon ang lahat, Sharina. That's your strength." Sa sandaling iyon ay bumakas sa labi niya ang isang masayang ngiti.

“May kumpiyansa ka. Well, sige. Let's see.” “Naniniwala lang po akong hindi dapat hinuhusgahan ang kakayahan ng isang tao base sa nakaraang performance ng mga sinundang nasa puwesto. After all, people are unique to each other. We have our own strengths and weaknesses.”

“Listen, Miro. You think you’re losing something precious. But you’re wrong.” Dahan-dahan siyang tumingin sa akin habang naghihintay sa kasunod kong sasabihin. “You are not losing them. You are protecting them.” Napakuyom siya ng kamao pero hindi siya sumagot. “Revenge, war, power, they are not won by weakness. They are won by sacrifices, by standing strong even when it feels like the world is breaking you apart.”

Ang aking ngiti ay mas lalong nadedepina. Hindi marahil nito alam na mas ginaganahan ako sa mga babaeng malalakas ang loob. Being too weak is not my cup of tea, sa ngayong ginawa nito'y tila gusto ko pang sairin kung hanggang saan ang pasensya nito.

“Love is a luxury I don’t need.” Napatitig lang ako sa kanya. “Luxury?” ulit ko, may bahid ng sarcasm sa boses ko. “So para sa’yo, parang mamahaling relo lang ang pagmamahal, maganda, pero hindi kailangan?” “Exactly,” mabilis niyang sagot, halos hindi nag-atubili. “Hindi ito essentials. People who chase love end up weak. And weakness, Arielle, has no place in my world.”

“I indeed looked capable because I fought a weakling like you. But in FEAR, we are nothing but flies.” “You say you need my power, yet you call me weak?!” I exclaimed. Pinaparating ba niya na wala akong laban sa FEAR? “Bakit, hindi ba totoo? I called you weak because you are weak. But you are useful in some aspects. Those aspects are what we lack.”

Kahit na siya ay may malalim na sama ng loob kay Kellan, ito ay wala kung ikukumpara sa kanyang sariling buhay. Ngunit dahil tiyak na tumanggi siya, malinaw na hindi siya pinilit sa sitwasyon. Siya ay kusang loob na dinala ito sa kanyang sarili. Ang taong nag seal sa mga weak spot ay dapat na napakalakas, sila ay sumuko sa kawalan ng pag asa. Kung hindi, hindi sila magiging masunurin sa unang lugar.

And in doing so, we unwittingly increase the pressure on ourselves. Forgiveness is one of the things we automatically associate with weakness. It's similar to vulnerability or humility; we see those who forgive wrongdoings, give others the opportunity to ruin them, or allow others to shine brighter than them as dumb. They are fragile in our opinion. We regard them as weaker just because they allow their feelings to make decisions for them. They are permitting.

“I do not have the guts to try something new even though I really wanted it. I couldn’t name nor take whatever we have to another level. I am honestly scared of what might happen next. I guess… my heart is not just as brave as yours.” Napairap naman ako dahil doon. “Oh, you, silly! Ikaw iyong nagturo sa akin na kung hindi ako matalino, gamitin ko iyong ibang assets ko. Now if sinasabi mong hindi ka matapang, capitalize on your other qualities to proxy that bravery you’re yearning and searching for.” “Pero kailangan din nating mag-invest sa ibang assets natin, sa mga bagay na mahina tayo,” she argued. “We have to turn our weaknesses into our strengths.”

Mas mabigat na katahimikan. Si Ariana, na kanina pa tahimik, ay bahagyang umangat ang tingin. Parang doon lang siya naging mas interesado. “Explain,” sabi ni Eli. Sumandal ako nang bahagya. “Everyone has a weakness,” sabi ko. “Money, family, secrets, fear.” Huminto ako sandali. “Find his weakness,” dagdag ko. “And he’ll fold.” Tahimik ulit.
