By Farhan,
Strong. When people say "I want to kill myself", "I'm useless", "I don't want to live anymore", or "I wanna die!" we might think that they are not strong enough to stay motivated. Indeed there are many factors could consider when people say these sentences, but what and how do we define "strong"? One of the ways people think strong person is a person who has big muscle, person who has plenty of money, or a person who has political power. For me, strong is when a person who has high level of patient because it can cause the person to success in life, and handle everything properly.
What is the different between a strong person and non-strong person? Is strong person more muscular than non-strong person? It sounds logic. A strong person is a person who can carry heavy things such as 50kg dumbbell with one hand and can do many tiring physical activities in a long period of time. On the other hand, weak person is a person who cannot do anything physically challenging. Maybe weak person cannot even carry a 10kg of rice packet. The question is, is that strong? If is it strong, then how can there are many athletes have suicide attempt? Christ Benuit, WWE superstar hanged himself at his house and murdered his wife and child? "...Chris's heart at the time of Chris's death after murdering his wife, Nancy, and their son, Daniel." (Keith Harris). Imagine there are two rulers. One ruler is a steel and the other is a plastic that can be bent. Then my question is when we try to make he rulers bent, what happen to the rulers? Steel ruler might be bent and stay bent while plastic ruler might be back to it's original shape. This analogy is for the definition of a strong person based on the size of muscles. The steel ruler is for the person who is tough (has big bicept and etc) while the plastic ruler represents non-tough person with high patient. The force exerted to the ruler represent challenge or stress that the person faces. The steel ruler stays bend and might be broke if we do it repeatedly indicating a person with tough body but low patient will easy to give up in life, run from challenges in life, and quit. On the other hand, plastic ruler represent a person with mediocre muscle which is just necessary for movements but with high patient indicating they will focus and get back to their original state after facing the challenges in their life. What do i mean by these? I mean no matter how big a person's muscle is, they will considered as a weak person if they do not have patient.
Another example to prove this is imagine what will happen to a person who is hot-tempered in fighting. Most of mad people in fighting are loss because they lose focus due to the anger. Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. "But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you." Joel Osteen (Brainyquote).
