"Weak"; a word originating from the Proto-Germanic "waika" meaning yield, and the Old English "wāc" meaning "not-steadfast". The importance of improving upon one's weakness can be derived from the etymology of the word itself. Arguably one of the greatest qualities found within a human is steadfastness; that in life, one remains strong and perseveres through every trial, never yielding to the adversity that lies before them. Therefore, when the greatest adversity is found within, we are challenged to rise above our apparent weakness and remain victorious in our own right.
