Quote by Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"

“We are often taught that strength means unyielding determination, staunch opinions, and unbreakable resolve. ... Softness does not mean weakness. It means being open to change, receptive to others, and compassionate toward ourselves. ... A rigid mindset might break under unexpected pressure; a flexible one bends and recovers . ... Like bamboo in the wind, soft strength bends but does not break”
