More From Philip Emeagwali

Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. from the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. of course, i do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.

A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. a strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. a strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.
