About this Quote

This quote by Tia Carrere speaks to the value of having a tough skin in order to make it through. She acknowledges that she was as soon as gullible, naive, soft, and pliable, which made her vulnerable to being taken advantage of. This quote works as a suggestion that in order to secure ourselves from being benefited from, we must establish a hard skin. This suggests that we need to be aware of our environments and be able to recognize when somebody is attempting to make the most of us. We should also be able to stand up for ourselves and not be afraid to state no when needed. Having a hard skin does not suggest that we have to be cold or unkind, however rather that we need to know our own limits and want to defend them.
