MP: Do you see anything of yourself in me? What... umm... like... strengths, do you see you've passed on to me? Or what weaknesses?
SE: *Laughs*
MP: O-or fortalezas or fuerzas? How do you- how do I say...?
SE: Yes, fortalezas.
MP: Fortalezas.
SE: *Laughs*
MP: *Exhales* Well, I don't know.
SE: Well... yes, I see many things in you. Precisely that, that... like, that internal strength. That, like, "I'm strong, I can do it," or like that idea of pushing yourself. That one I see is very similar. And another one I see is that you're always reflecting and rationalizing everything. That too is very similar to what I do. That's why lots of times we collide *laughs* when we converse. Because... because I see you do the same thing I do.
MP: *Laughs*
SE: Eh... what other thing like that... the discipline, the being perseverant. That-that I see it in you. And I see myself there, in that-In that way of being.
MP: Any weaknesses?
SE: Mmmm... weakness... weakness... That I-that I have... that sometimes too, you are too strict with yourself, and so you tend to be, like, too rigid with yourself and I think that happens to me too.
MP: *Laughs* Is that the only thing? I think there's more. Like, what other-what other weakness do you see in me?
SE: What-but that is similar to, like, me? Hmm.. That you're too stubborn. *Laughs*
MP: *Laughs*
