"脆弱不是赢或输;而是在无法控制结果时依然勇敢地出现并展示自我。"
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Being open and honest about our feelings or problems is scary because we don't know how others will react. It's like when you tell a friend a big secret, not knowing if they will still like you or understand you. Facing this fear and still choosing to share shows real bravery. For example, imagine you're an artist showing your work at an exhibition for the first time. You don't know if people will love it or hate it, but you put your art on display anyway. This act of showing your work, regardless of whether you get praise or criticism, is a sign of true courage. In life, when we allow ourselves to be seen in our most genuine form, especially when we're unsure of the response, we grow stronger and more resilient. Even if things don't go as planned, the brave act of revealing our true selves builds deeper connections and personal strength.
