In this quote, Ayn Rand says she does not have a weak mind. Few people will say that they have no weak spot in their character. When it comes to facing the unpleasant truth, Rand did not back down from any situation that might cause her to feel sorry for herself. Rather, she did something about it.
She did not run away from her problems and she did not hide from the truth. She stood up and faced the truth head on because she knew that when you face the unpleasant truth, it can be very freeing.
