That may be what it means but I can't agree with the sentiment, having a strong personality and strong stances was one of my basic problems. No problem knowing your own mind and where you will and won't go, but most people see a strong personality as an arrogant personality. Being open minded to others opinions gets you much further in life. Doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say or be wishy washy, but at the same time, no one wants to be friends with an opinionated, arrogant, know-it-all either. Glad I opened my mind and my heart to others. Life is so much more interesting now.
