Do not be afraid to look tough
Do not be afraid to look tough, fierce or brave. It's not to be feared, but to keep yourself safe. Got a firmness that's important, a bit fierce is okay. Similarly, if we have something to protect ourselves. Everyone has his own way of protecting himself, protecting his heart and protecting his pride. All of that so as not to be disturbed by others.
Be as good as possible from you, undoubtedly many will seek you. Something beautiful will usually be sought after by many people. Something special, something noble, and anything that has its advantages. Indeed we can not have many advantages, but we can work on some things that can make ourselves special.
