How do strong people think?

"Strong" people have weaknesses just like everyone else because nobody's perfect no matter how perfect a particular person may seem.

Generally speaking though, strong people are independent-minded. They mostly depend on themselves to get things done; and not other people.

In difficult times, a strong person would be courageous and confront their demons head-on per se. They deal with their problems in a graceful manner, but they also cry when they need to. A strong person does not suppress their emotions, but rather they try to find a balance. They realize their shortcomings, but they don't let anything hold them back.

Strong people are bold, honest with both other people AND themselves, and do not bother caring about what others think of them.

But most importantly, in difficult times, strong people are calm. They are mature about how they handle stressful situations.

Everyone has a different path to success because success means different things to different people.

It largely depends what exactly is the 'hard time'. The plan of action would be different for a break-up, rather than doing a degree, and again different to your dad dying. Optimism is indispensable, however.

I know the way is to not feel bad. And to realize where they are n what they have to do to fix it. They don't waste time feeling bad for themselves. They make a plan n follow it it one step at a time.
