The concept of a strong personality was widely disclosed in the school education of children in Soviet era. The priority in raising children was the education of a person as an individual in interaction with society. To be a weak person at that time was a shame, first of all, in front of society.
Nowadays, in education, priority is given to interaction with your ego, your “I”. With the right approach to your “I” and self-esteem, further social relationships are possible.
What is a strong personality?
Therefore, a strong personality in modern society- is a person physically and mentally healthy person who knows how to personally satisfy his needs, has the right priorities, strives for growth, advancement and improvement in all areas of his life, and, most importantly, accustomed to work and learning.
The correct priorities can be called: a tendency to plan time, elimination of bad habits, healthy image life, work on spiritual and career growth. A strong personality also has hereditary characteristics, but mainly it is education and work on oneself in the future.
What are the main strong personality traits?
The main strong personality traits that can be identified are:
- Ability for self-development.
- Learning ability.
- Correctly distributed life priorities.
- Resistance to external influences and stress.
- Healthy selfishness (healthy selfishness can be called the desire to satisfy personal needs without harming others, in order to avoid causing discomfort to loved ones).
- Self-control and discipline.
- Determination.
Here are the main qualities of a strong personality. To succeed in life and achieve some of your goals, you must have all of the above qualities.
Also a fundamental condition for success is correct positioning goals. We should not forget that whatever the means of achieving goals, they should not contradict moral, state and personal principles.
People with a strong personality are more likely to occupy leadership positions and are more willing to be hired for highly paid positions. But this does not mean that success is guaranteed only in your career. Strong personalities easily find common language within the family, with friends, because they do not have a feeling of insecurity and self-criticism, they know their position in life and this is not burdensome for others, but only makes communication more pleasant.
How to cultivate a strong personality?
Therefore, it is important to strive to develop or cultivate the qualities of a strong personality. How to cultivate these qualities? You can turn to the literature on psychology to study ways to develop a strong personality.
It becomes clear that the spiritual principle in a person goes inextricably with the physical. Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to physical development, especially since regular physical activity develops endurance and discipline, and this has a beneficial effect on self-esteem.
You should highlight your personality flaws and work to eliminate them. It is also important to pay attention to spiritual development. This is a very broad concept. Here we have spiritual faith, creativity, and art as spiritual development.
Meditation practices are widely used for spiritual development. It is important to periodically turn inside yourself, look into your soul, be alone with yourself in order to rethink some concepts, weigh all the pros and cons, understand many situations and simply take a break and calm your nerves.
Each person chooses the path to his soul, for some it is a trip to the priest, to holy places, turning to art, music, drawing, dancing, perhaps it’s just an ordinary walk in the park. When everything is clear and transparent, it becomes more clear what is best to strive for, what goals should be chosen and what means can be used to achieve these goals.

I believe that being a strong personality is very important. In many professions, it is strong people who achieve high goals and become successful people.

A distinctive feature of a strong person is unshakable confidence in himself, his actions and actions. Everything he does is done from the position of the only correct decision in a given situation. At the same time, a person realizes his real capabilities and tries to expand them, setting goals and going towards them, no matter what.

Examples of strong people from history. I would like to introduce you to truly strong personalities. Nick Vujikis: a man without arms and without legs, was able to stand up on his own and is teaching others to do so Nick was born in Melbourne (Australia) with a rare disease: he is missing both arms up to the level of his shoulders, and a tiny foot with two toes protrudes directly from his left hip. Despite the absence of limbs, he surfs and swims, plays golf and football. Nick graduated from college with a double major in accounting and financial planning. Today, anyone can come to his lectures, where Nick motivates people, especially teenagers, to never give up and believe in themselves, proving by example that even the impossible is possible.

Liz Murray: from the slums to Harvard Elizabeth Murray was born on September 23, 1980 in the Bronx, in a family of HIV-positive parents, in a New York area where only poor people and drug addicts lived. She became homeless when she was just 15, after her mother was killed and her father was taken to a pauper's shelter. The girl had to go through a lot during this time, but one day Murray’s life changed dramatically, namely after she began attending a humanities course at the Chelsea Preparatory Academy in Manhattan. After completing her classes within two years, she was awarded a New York Times scholarship for needy students and accepted into Harvard University in the fall of 2000. Liz was forced to interrupt her studies at the university to care for her sick father, but continued her education at Columbia University, where she was closer to him and remained with him until the end, until he died of AIDS. In May 2008, she returned to Harvard and completed her higher education in the field of psychology. Subsequently, her biography, full of tragedy and faith, became the basis for a film released in 2003. Today Liz works as a professional speaker representing the Washington Speakers Bureau. During each lecture for students and business groups, she tries to instill in her listeners the strength of spirit and will that pulled her out of the slums as a teenager and sent her on the right path.
We are all very different. Some people exude self-confidence, while others constantly show indecisiveness and uncertainty. Obviously, it is much easier to manipulate a weak person than those who are called a “strong personality”. Examples of a person who always takes a dominant position can be given endlessly. But is it possible to say unambiguously who a strong person is and how he differs from others?
Who can be called a strong person?
It is difficult to accurately describe all the qualities of a strong personality, but the main distinctive features can still be identified:
- High level of self-confidence and self-belief.
- The ability to control your emotions.
- A very important point is that a strong person has a high degree of independence: he is independent of the opinions of others, various prejudices and public opinion.
- A strong individual always knows what he wants from life and perseveres to achieve his goals.
- A strong person looks at the world from a position of reason and knows how to sensibly analyze events.
Of course, this is not an exhaustive description of a person who can safely be labeled as a “strong personality.” Examples of a person with such qualities do not necessarily have to be found among famous and outstanding people. After all, not all people who hold serious government positions can be called a strong personality.
People with strong character live among us. They do not necessarily occupy prestigious positions and manage others. They simply remain themselves, do what they love and are not influenced by the crowd. 
Strong = Successful?
Naturally, it is much easier for a strong person to achieve success. If a person has a goal and he constantly strives for it, then they usually say about him that he is a strong personality. Examples of a person who does not strive to achieve success, on the contrary, do not evoke respect from society. Such people are considered weak-willed and unsure of themselves.
But can we say that success and purpose are the same thing? Is it really possible that only a person who has achieved success can be classified in the prestigious category of “strong personality”? People often do not fully understand the expression “strong man.” After all, by the word “success” we often mean money, power and fame.
In fact, a self-sufficient person makes his own choice, regardless of the opinions of others. For such people, success is not wealth, influence and fame. For them, success means not giving in to other people's influence and doing what they personally want. It turns out that goal and success are different things in the public understanding, but completely identical for a strong personality. 
The ability to be an individual, have your own opinion and adequately assess your strengths and weaknesses - this is what characterizes a strong personality. Examples of a person strong in spirit and character, you can see not only on the TV screen or in glossy magazines, but also on the tram, on the street or at work. Or maybe you are a truly strong and self-sufficient person and are an example for many people.
Everyone has such life situations when they give up, “the sky is like a sheepskin,” the mood is at zero, and it seems that things can’t get any worse. And it seems like you want to somehow improve the situation, lift your spirits, but the circumstances around you are so unfavorable that you are simply at a loss as to how to live on.
Have you ever tried to read success stories of different people - businessmen and millionaires? Most of them had a situation that was maybe even several times worse than yours. And this applies not only to money, as happens in most cases. This applies to what you definitely have - arms and legs.
Video about a strong personality - Nick Vujicic
It's about Nika Vujicic. He was born in Australia in 1982, for many he is now the same age. His family is a believer, consisting of Christians, and healthy. His mother is a nurse and his father is a priest. In a word, nothing foreshadowed the birth of such a child. His sister and brother are absolutely normal and full-fledged. Nick was born... without arms and legs. Just imagine - he couldn’t do anything on his own; his family and friends had to look after him 24 hours a day. Immediately after Nick was born, his parents, of course, were in despair. Everyone around was perplexed as to how this could happen, no bad heredity, no reasons. In addition, doctors said that the child would not live long. Little Nick's childhood was very difficult. Both physically and psychologically, because he had almost no friends, and there was constant ridicule around him. The boy even decided to drown himself, but his love for his parents kept him from doing so.
To category - strong personalities in history, this person can be attributed 100%. Nick is now 28 years old and feels great. The young man managed to get a higher education, does everything on his own, and even... swims! And his typing speed on a computer is 43 words per minute. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Today Nick is a millionaire and businessman known throughout the world. Yes, yes, this is true. How did he manage to reach such heights? Only with the help of character! Difficulties strengthened Nick when he was still small; in addition, faith helped him become a full-fledged person and correctly relate to his physical disability. Moreover, in this he was even ahead of many physically capable people!
A distinctive feature of a strong person is unshakable confidence in himself, his actions and actions. Everything he does is done from the position of the only correct decision in a given situation. At the same time, a person realizes his real capabilities and tries to expand them, setting goals and going towards them, no matter what. A strong person strives for those heights that no one has conquered before - he must and is able to prove his capabilities to himself and others. A person who puts himself above all else - money, wealth, family, relatives, etc. - is called strong. Such people perceive difficulties and doubts in a completely different way - for them, everything that causes fear and uncertainty in other people is most attractive. They go exactly there, breaking stereotypes and breaking all the rules. The good side is communication skills. Such a person will not try to change someone, impose his opinion, or convince anyone - he simply perceives other people as they are. He begins to change himself, achieving the desired goal. A strong personality fully accepts responsibility for his life - he realizes that no one is free to control someone else's fate. Even when working, a strong person stimulates himself not with the amount of salary, but with interest - he needs to find out what will happen if he does this and that. It can be difficult for people to admit what real feelings they are experiencing at a particular moment - weak people begin to hide them, hiding behind pity, some personal reasons. A strong person always expresses his emotions clearly - if he is bored, he says so directly. At the same time, he rarely expresses himself and almost never feels guilty. A strong person does not recognize authorities - he is true only to himself. He does everything in a special way, showing his individuality - creative people are almost always strong personalities. They are often visited by crazy and brilliant ideas, which they immediately bring to life. It’s always easy to communicate with such people - you don’t have to adapt to them, they are open and sincere, have a healthy sense of humor and love life very much. They can laugh at themselves, and this is an indicator of mental balance and stability.
There are many programs aimed at increasing the level of strength endurance and increasing strength in particular, most of them in one way or another follow the principle “the more the merrier.” This is a little different. With simple training, an increase in strength can be achieved, but not to the extent that it can be achieved by training correctly.
You will need
- - gym membership
Instructions
The first rule is to normalize the training schedule and systematically. It is not recommended to train more than one main muscle group and one auxiliary muscle group on the same day. You must do a strictly limited number of repetitions, reaching your limit on the last set of the last repetition.
Perform the exercises perfectly clearly. If you cheat, you can, at best, put stress on the wrong muscle group, and at worst, get injured.
Take proper rest between workouts and avoid lack of sleep and overtraining. In order to experience gains in strength, you need rest to allow your muscles to grow and repair.

If you want to always achieve your goals and be admired for your independence and strong character, then you need to know these 9 simple truths!
- A strong personality does not look for excuses. If a person has made a mistake, he admits it, and does not come up with stupid excuses, repeatedly complicating his life. People may judge you for your mistakes, but if you are confident in yourself, you won't care much.
- A strong personality does not run from his fears. No matter how hackneyed this rule may be, we need to be able to look into the eyes of what we are afraid of, be it the dark, speaking in public or declaring our love! Remember that by getting rid of your fears one by one, you take a step forward each time.
- A strong personality does not allow rush jobs. Every day, sending one thing or another to the back burner, in the end you risk being buried under an avalanche of now urgent matters. This does not end well, so try to complete all your tasks as they come.
- A strong personality does not complain. Imagine how your productivity would increase exponentially if you worked with the same zeal with which you complain about life? In the meantime, everything that happens to you depends only on you! Therefore, do not waste your energy and accept life as it is. Well, or don’t accept it, but take on drastic changes! But, in any case, without sighs and groans.
- A strong personality goes beyond the “comfort zone”. Of course, it is easiest to follow the beaten path, but only those who are not afraid of change receive generous benefits from life.
- A strong personality respects others and what they do. A weak person will judge everyone for literally every action.
- A strong personality does not waste time on comparisons. Constantly looking around, saying, “has anyone become better than me,” is not typical of an independent person. Just like the approval of other people. He simply goes towards his goal, working hard to the best of his ability.
- A strong personality does only what he loves. If you don't have a passion for what you want to do, quit it. It is impossible to become an ace in something you don't like.
- A strong personality does not humiliate others or himself. A self-sufficient person does not need to look for vices in others and publicly ridicule their mistakes. Just as there is no need for endless self-flagellation and thinking about your mistakes. Of course, it is necessary to draw conclusions, but if you constantly look back, your life path will be like walking backwards - there is a very high chance of stumbling.
