“Only the individual who is firm especially in difficult times will remain attractive and can offer something to love.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
When things get really tough, the people who stay strong and don’t give up are the ones who stand out. Take, for example, someone who loses their job but keeps looking for new opportunities instead of giving in to despair. Their determination and resilience make them admirable and show they have something valuable, like courage and perseverance, for others to appreciate and love. This attitude not only helps them succeed but also attracts positive attention and support from others. So, by staying steady and resolute when facing challenges, a person proves they are reliable and someone worth caring for. Applying this in your own life means trying to stay strong even when things are hard, because this strength will inspire others and make them feel connected to you.
