When are you strong?
- When you don’t let harsh words from loved ones affect you?
- When you keep your past experiences locked away in the depths of your mind?
- When you make your life’s decisions at the age of 20-something and stick to them till death?
- When you stop thinking and start acting?(does that not defy the think before you leap concept?)
- When you build bridges instead of building walls around yourself?
- When you fight with rude bus conductors?
- When you know all the faults in yourself and yet push them in the background for fear of indulging in too much self-pity?
- When you have to hold her hand and tell her to move on, and in the mean while, behind her back, tell him to stop answering her calls; because he gets upset too
- When you fight to change the way you are, because the way you are does nothing to improve your chances of survival in the competitive world.
- When you step into the race of life, unwillingly, and yet strive to be a better person?
Reminds me of Sheryl Crow’s words:
God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It’s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

Strength and courage is what a human being tries to show when he faces a situation despite an option to ignore and escape.
Oscar Rebelo or Satyendra Dubay or Shivaji all showed their strength against the odds even though they could have ignored and escaped the situation.

May be strength is also saying “NO” to the things you don’t want to do, no matter who is asking you to do it. Basically resisting the pressure, which is not always from bad forces, some good forces tend to push on certain bad things onto you in which case you are in ultimate confusion whether to accept or not.
