"What a pity that I do not have such fortitude as he has!" - a thought that periodically visits those who cannot cope with any difficulties. It happens that you look at a person and are amazed at his psychological stability, endurance, patience, thinking that mother nature has endowed him with incredible strength.
What is the strength of the personality? Everyone understands it in their own way: someone evaluates strength by actions and actions, someone is sure that even movements betray a strong-willed character, while others identify with worldly wisdom, the ability to correctly perceive the world around them and adapt to its changes, and all of them right.
In this article, we will tell you what qualities a strong personality has, give some interesting examples and give a couple of tips on how to become a strong person.
Psychologists believe that it is impossible to determine for sure whether a person is resistant by any tests. Resilience is formed only in those who have faced obstacles in their lives.
Norman Garmesi, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota, has done a lot of research on this topic. He watched the children, but one boy made a special impression on him: he grew up in a dysfunctional family and always brought a sandwich to school, which consisted of only two slices of bread. But the boy did not want to be pitied and thought badly of his mother so much that he did not show it and always came to school with a smile. Garmezi calls such children successful, because they have a special personality trait - stability.
Emmy Werner, a specialist in developmental psychology, conducted an experiment that lasted thirty-two years. She watched a group of about seven hundred children, from the moment when mothers carried them in the womb, and until thirty years of age. Emmy studied the influence of stress on the formation of the personality of each of them. Two-thirds of the respondents grew up in stable conditions, which is not the case for the rest.
As a result, it turned out that children from the risk zone reacted differently to the stress that happened in their lives: some of them began to develop behavioral problems by the age of ten, many of the children became delinquent and mentally unhealthy by the age of majority, while others grew up confident in themselves, caring young people who used every opportunity for development.
The resilience of children was explained by the strong support of parents and guardians, but in most cases the development of resilience directly depended on the reaction to the environment. Tough children from an early age willingly interacted with the world, showed independence and looked at things positively. They were convinced that they themselves were shaping their lives.
But in doing so, Amy Werner found that over time, resilience can weaken if a person is faced with more stress that outweighs their stamina level.
George Bonanno, a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, has devoted nearly twenty-five years to the study of resilience. He was trying to figure out why someone copes with obstacles easily, and someone does not. One of the influencing factors, in his opinion, is perception: a person may consider a stressful situation a trauma or an opportunity for growth.
For example, the departure of a loved one from life is, of course, stress. But if you find in this sad event some special meaning that will lead to an understanding of illness or religion, then the event will not be so traumatic. By the way, persistent people are more likely than others to talk about religious support.
According to George Bonanno, a positive reaction to what is happening can be learned, but human nature is so amazing that he can achieve the opposite effect with his own hands: to strengthen his reaction to stressful factors.
According to the author, a person can destroy self-pity, which he succumbs to in case of bad luck. Also, development is greatly hampered by the desire to keep everything under control, constant self-reflection and reasoning about what a person could not achieve. This focus on the negative side is energy-consuming and lowers productivity.
Often people care about what others think of them, thereby making themselves vulnerable and allowing themselves to be manipulated. It turns out that a person forgets about himself and acts as others would like.
A strong personality knows how to recognize the presence of their weaknesses and constantly works on them. In short, these people do not do the following:
There is no universal interpretation of what a strong personality is, but, of course, when we talk about strength of character, we automatically mean self-confidence, the ability to take responsibility and adapt to any changes.
What other traits are inherent in strong people?
Psychologists identify the following signs of strong people:

Raskolnikov's theory is a theory about a strong personality. The protagonist of the novel divided humanity into two categories: "trembling creatures" and "entitled". Simply put, in his opinion, some people are the chosen ones: they can perform great deeds, decide destinies and, like Napoleon, commit crimes for their own purpose, i.e. a leader's life and ideas cost people's lives; others are created only for procreation.
Rodion Raskolnikov, a poor student who dreams of a great future, decided to prove that he was one of the few by killing an old woman, thinking that he was not in danger of any remorse and he was easily capable of committing a crime. As a result, after the perfect deed, the hero plunges into terrible agony and admits that he killed not the old woman, but himself. And only admitting his guilt and turning to God give him peace of mind.
Using the example of Raskolnikov, the writer wanted to show how social inequality pushed people to such illegal actions, and that it is not the right to kill that makes a person strong, but his ability to remain kind and merciful despite various circumstances.
Let's get acquainted with examples of strong people who have already made history or are just starting their journey, motivating others for success.
As tsar, Peter I set himself the goal of raising Russia to the level of prosperous countries. The ruler divided the country into ten provinces, subordinated the church to the state, founded an army and a navy, and also reformed the sphere of education and culture: new educational institutions began to open, an opportunity to study abroad appeared. Thanks to the innovations of Peter I, Russia became an empire, and the ruler received the title of "Great Emperor".
Some interesting facts: Peter I was a little over two meters tall, but at the same time he had a small foot size. To correct this difference, he wore shoes several sizes larger. The emperor was against drunkenness and fought with it with the help of a cast-iron medal: it was hung on those who abused alcohol, so that it was impossible to remove it, and it took seven days to walk with it. Peter I was versed in various crafts, he mastered the skill of a bricklayer, carpenter, etc.
The tsar had a harsh character, the formation of which was probably influenced by a tragic situation in childhood: in front of a little boy, the rebels dealt with his relatives. The personality of Peter I is still of interest, but the fact that he determined the course of development of Russia for many years to come made him one of the great personalities who endowed the state with power.
Yuri Gagarin lived in the village of Klushino. In 1941, little Yura was preparing to go to school, but instead of happy days at his desk, he was forced to fight for his life, facing the war face to face. The Germans drove his family out of the house, in which they later set up a workshop. He lived in a dugout with his family for a year and a half without the opportunity to stand up to his full height and move freely.
Despite all the troubles, Yuri Gagarin was able to succeed in his studies, graduated from a college, an industrial technical school and entered a sports flying club, where he made his first flight. Once he was almost expelled from the school due to the fact that he could not manage to make the correct landing of the plane. As a result, it turned out that his small stature was to blame. The problem was solved by putting a thick lining on the chair.
In 1961, he was included in a group of six candidates for space flight. Yuri Alekseevich successfully passed all the tests and training, leaving no doubt that it was he who should become the chosen one.
Yuri Gagarin died in a plane crash, the cause of which is still controversial. In his note, which he wrote to his wife before the flight into space, was the following: “Once in my childhood I read the words of Valery Chkalov:“ If there is, then be the first ”. So I try to be and will be to the end. " She received her husband's note only after the death of the pilot.
Ilona's parents divorced, and the boy decided to live with his father, who had a difficult character. As a child, Elon Musk helped his father at work, which was related to construction. At the age of ten, Musk was given a computer, and at the age of twelve he sold his first program, a video game, for five hundred dollars. In 1995, he entered Stanford, which he left exactly two days later to found his first company.
Today, Elon Musk is the founder of several companies such as X.com and PayPal (personal money transfers), SpaceX (development of launch vehicles), Tesla (production of electric vehicles), etc. He was named Entrepreneur of the Year and is included in the list of the most influential people of the twenty-first century, as well as the Heinlein Prize for achievements in the commercialization of space.
Nick Vuychich conducts lectures in which, by his example, motivates people not to give up and believe in themselves. By the way, he is married and has four children who were born completely healthy. Isn't that happiness?
Jessica Cox is not just a female pilot, but a pilot without arms. She has a birth defect. The most interesting thing is that Jessica's mother during pregnancy all tests indicated that the baby was developing without pathologies.

To learn to be a pilot, the girl took a three-year course in airplane driving, where she was trained by three instructors. This is what willpower and determination mean!
Andrea Bocelli is a singer from Italy who is known all over the world. Andrea's musical talent manifested itself in childhood, but, unfortunately, he experienced vision problems due to glaucoma, and hitting a ball on the head while playing football finally made the boy blind.
Despite this, he received a musical education and was able to attract attention: he was invited to various performances. Andrea Bocelli was one of the first to combine opera music with pop style.

Strength = Resilience?
A strong personality, first of all, is characterized by a stable psyche in stressful situations. Such a person perceives leaving the comfort zone as a stimulus for development, and not as a reason for worry. It is distinguished by its endurance, resilience and maturity. These qualities, according to scientists, are formed in childhood.Psychologists believe that it is impossible to determine for sure whether a person is resistant by any tests. Resilience is formed only in those who have faced obstacles in their lives.

What are the strengths of the personality?
What distinguishes a strong and a weak personality is well described by Amy Maureen, a practicing psychotherapist, in her book 13 Things Strong-minded People Don't Do.According to the author, a person can destroy self-pity, which he succumbs to in case of bad luck. Also, development is greatly hampered by the desire to keep everything under control, constant self-reflection and reasoning about what a person could not achieve. This focus on the negative side is energy-consuming and lowers productivity.
Often people care about what others think of them, thereby making themselves vulnerable and allowing themselves to be manipulated. It turns out that a person forgets about himself and acts as others would like.
A strong personality knows how to recognize the presence of their weaknesses and constantly works on them. In short, these people do not do the following:
- don't live in the past;
- are not afraid to take risks;
- do not feel sorry for themselves;
- not amenable to manipulation;
- do not try to please anyone;
- do not step on the same rake;
- are not afraid to be alone;
- do not experience negative emotions if they are unlucky in something;
- do not give up after failures;
- do not think that everyone owes them;
- do not hope for a quick result;
- do not waste energy on what they cannot change;
- are not afraid of change.
There is no universal interpretation of what a strong personality is, but, of course, when we talk about strength of character, we automatically mean self-confidence, the ability to take responsibility and adapt to any changes.
What other traits are inherent in strong people?
Psychologists identify the following signs of strong people:
- Self-control: someone who knows how to manage their feelings easily goes through stressful situations and controls the process without succumbing to emotions .
- Composure: The ability to "turn on a cool head" is one way of exercising self-control.
- Listening is an essential prerequisite for effective communication. It is especially important to be able to listen when it comes to communicating with those who have a different view of what is happening. This quality helps to look at the situation from a different angle and even open your eyes to some things.
- Flexibility: the world is changing so quickly that not everyone can keep up with the changes, and for some, any changes are stressful. Anyone who knows how to adapt to the situation achieves great success.
- Learning to say no: Marking your own boundaries is an act of self- respect and healthy self-esteem. People who do not know how to refuse fall prey to manipulators.
- Thoughtfulness: When making decisions, a strong personality is always guided by logic. Such people analyze the situation, weigh the pros and cons, and do not succumb to emotions].
- Ability to forgive: resentment is a destructive feeling, it takes energy and does not allow you to move on. The one who knows how to forgive feels much freer and happier.
- The ability to admit your mistakes: Blaming others for personal failures is a personal weakness. Strong people will always analyze, first of all, their actions, and only in extreme cases will they look for reasons in external factors. They easily admit their mistakes and apologize if they were wrong in relation to others.
- Ability not to give up even in the most difficult situations: life is an unpredictable thing. Each of us has difficulties from time to time, but only a strong-willed person will not break down and will be able to learn a lesson and even benefit from any situation. Many successful people have had difficult childhoods that tempered their character.
- Courage to take on difficult tasks: the fear of making a mistake is inherent in everyone, but only some listen to it and stay in the same place, while others willingly take on difficult tasks, which helps them develop and acquire new useful skills.
- No need for constant approval: theone who strives to be everyone's favorite, forgets about his own interests and goals, because all energy is spent on meeting the expectations of others.
- Purposefulness: a strong personality will not look for reasons not to do something. She will look for opportunities to achieve her goals. She is not characterized by procrastination and postponing life "for later".
- Ability to defend their values: Those who follow their beliefs and feelings show respect for themselves. But this does not mean that a strong person steps over the feelings of others, but means that he knows how to stand up for himself.

What does Raskolnikov have to do with it?
The question of classifying personalities into strong and weak was often raised in the works of classics and modern writers. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky in his work "Crime and Punishment" paid special attention to this and highlighted at that time an urgent problem of modern society.Raskolnikov's theory is a theory about a strong personality. The protagonist of the novel divided humanity into two categories: "trembling creatures" and "entitled". Simply put, in his opinion, some people are the chosen ones: they can perform great deeds, decide destinies and, like Napoleon, commit crimes for their own purpose, i.e. a leader's life and ideas cost people's lives; others are created only for procreation.
Rodion Raskolnikov, a poor student who dreams of a great future, decided to prove that he was one of the few by killing an old woman, thinking that he was not in danger of any remorse and he was easily capable of committing a crime. As a result, after the perfect deed, the hero plunges into terrible agony and admits that he killed not the old woman, but himself.

Using the example of Raskolnikov, the writer wanted to show how social inequality pushed people to such illegal actions, and that it is not the right to kill that makes a person strong, but his ability to remain kind and merciful despite various circumstances.
Now let's look at examples
If earlier, speaking of strength, they meant, first of all, physical data, now this concept is much broader. In ancient times, to be considered such, a person only had to kill a mammoth, but now this quality is measured by mental, intellectual and other abilities that make many people not only strong, but unique and great personalities.Let's get acquainted with examples of strong people who have already made history or are just starting their journey, motivating others for success.
Peter I

The father of Peter I passed away when the future tsar was not even four years old.As tsar, Peter I set himself the goal of raising Russia to the level of prosperous countries. The ruler divided the country into ten provinces, subordinated the church to the state, founded an army and a navy, and also reformed the sphere of education and culture: new educational institutions began to open, an opportunity to study abroad appeared.

Yuri Gagarin

In 1941, little Yura was preparing to go to school, but instead of happy days at his desk, he was forced to fight for his life, facing the war face to face.

Elon Musk
This name, perhaps, is on everyone's lips, but few people know that as a child, today's American entrepreneur, engineer and billionaire was an introverted child and was even subjected to violence from peers, and once, after another beating, he had to repair a broken nose.Ilona's parents divorced, and the boy decided to live with his father, who had a difficult character.

How to become a strong personality
Increasingly, people around are saying that you need to be strong. They have been talking about this since school, because even students are often given the task to write an essay on the topic of a strong personality.So, what does inner strength give:
- Anyone who has a strong-willed character easily overcomes any difficulties and suffers psychological trauma.
- Resilient people achieve their goals faster.
- Strong personalities have strength of spirit, do not fall prey to manipulators and do not give themselves offense.
- Such people have a more stable psyche and easily adapt to any changes.
- They always attract the attention of employers and move faster up the career ladder.
Here are some tips on how to become a strong personality:
- Define your "inhibiting" qualities: maybe you are afraid to tell the truth and rarely refuse someone? Or are you too shy and find it difficult to fight back the offenders? Analyze your behavior in various situations (especially in those where you were overtaken by failure) and think about what exactly prevented you from achieving the desired result.
- Make flaws your strength: if you are too anxious and suspicious, that's good! You will not make the mistakes that are inherent in those who are used to acting without looking. Take on work that requires special care and preliminary analysis, in which you will achieve the greatest success.
- Form your point of view: All great people have their own opinion and are not afraid to express it, even if it contradicts universal beliefs. You yourself know that truth is born in a dispute, therefore, analyze whether all the attitudes are really yours or some were imposed on you. Back up your opinion with arguments when entering into a conversation with an opponent, it will add confidence to you.
- Set goals for yourself: life without a goal is existence. You must know what you really want to achieve, and then you will have the strength and energy to achieve the desired result.
- Do not be afraid of failure: unpleasant situations happen from time to time in every person's life, and this is normal. The one who does nothing is not mistaken, and if there are mistakes, then there is room for development. Do you agree?
- Strengthen your strengths: It is a mistake to believe that you only need to work on weaknesses. Analyze what you can do best, and improve in this, achieve success in an area close to you in spirit - this will increase your self-esteem. If Elon Musk had been fixated on his shyness and isolation instead of studying programming, it is unlikely that he would be who he is today.
- Analyze your environment: more often you are in the company of strong personalities, communicate with those who are stronger than you in something, and take an example from them.
- Get rid of negative thinking: A positive assessment of the present helps shape a happy future. Notice the good around you - this way you will be filled with energy and will always be in a great mood.
- Go in for sports: moral and physical strength are closely intertwined. Sport fosters the will to win, makes a person hardy and purposeful.
- Expand your horizons: when they talk about personality strength, they mean not only endurance and strong-willed character, but also high intellectual abilities. Develop, read more books, study your rights, do not be afraid to try yourself in various fields of activity. Believe me, self-education can be fun, effective and not time-consuming.

- Manage Your Emotions: Weak people tend to succumb to anger and worry. Authoritative individuals maintain a cold mind and restraint even in the most unusual situations.
- Train willpower: strong people are able to give up various temptations in order to achieve their goal and perfectly understand the meaning of the word "must" if circumstances force them to do what they might not really want.
- Learn to refuse: someone who does not know how to say "no" often falls prey to manipulators. Such people are easy to manage and impose their point of view on them. Do not be afraid to refuse if the request is contrary to your convictions, and its implementation threatens to seriously lose your own resources.
- Be inspired by examples of great people: everyone who has made a certain contribution to the development of science, the country, humanity, undoubtedly, are strong personalities. Get to know their biography, watch a documentary instead of mindlessly watching another series.
- Work on all areas of life: a person is strong and full of energy when all his needs are met. Do not forget about hobbies, health and family, completely surrendering to work. One day the moment will come when there is not enough strength for what you love, because there will simply be nowhere to draw them.
A strong personality is formed through daily work on oneself. Yes, nature gives us certain inclinations of character at birth, each of us has strengths and weaknesses, which means that everyone has an equal chance to become those whose strong-willed character and fortitude will lead to the cherished goals, despite obstacles.
Summarize
The realities of today's life are such that, willy-nilly, a person has to cultivate a strong personality. It is understandable: someone who has a strong character, resilience and knows how to stand up for himself achieves results more easily and quickly adapts to circumstances than someone who constantly complains about life, shifting responsibility for his actions to others, and is subject to the fear of any changes.Man by nature is a unique creation. Each of us has our pros and cons, character traits, beliefs. Do not think that strong people have no shortcomings, they also have weaknesses, but they know how to work on them.
Remember, you control everything. You can go through any obstacles, make your most cherished dreams come true, the main thing is to work on yourself every day, pump your advantages, turn disadvantages into advantages, respect yourself and your opinion and not be afraid to go forward. The tree does not become strong immediately, it too was once a thin stem with a weak root system, like the rest of us. We are not born with inner strength. We ourselves generate this power within ourselves.
Good luck!
