Strong women do what’s good for them, 
resilient women do what’s good for others. 

Strong women make decisions, 
resilient women submit to the decisions of others. 

Strong women stand by their mistakes, 
resilient women want to avoid mistakes.

Strong women know their own value, 
resilient women relate their value to others. 

Strong women show their feelings, 
resilient women hold back their feelings. 

Strong women show their fear, 
resilient women hide them behind activity.

Strong women stand by their weaknesses, 
resilient women are always on standby. 

Strong women can cry, 
resilient women have to work. 

Strong women can also be alone, 
resilient women are afraid of not being needed. 

Strong women live their lives, 
resilient women live the lives of others.
