A person is strong when they have a strong mentality or strong physically. I think what makes a person strong is the stability of their mind and their determination not to give up on anything.

You can say a person is very strong when she/he has the pre-formed decision of what she/he wants, conviction, confidence, self-esteem, dream, ambition in life, posses a knowledge that this is the only way to do it, or having more physical strength (having the confidence on how to protect helpless being like a mother or a leader), or armed with emotional maturity to perceive success & failures in life, possesing wisdom to carry out the diversity & ranges of truth & falsity in dealing of anything. Looking at all aspect of life, when you have more % of these qualities than others, you will feel very strong and confident to fight whatever cause & reason.

This is a kind of thing that you can't define. This is because that other people define strength differently. I guess when it comes to how I feel about what makes a strong person strong, I think about physical, mental, and/or emotional fortitude. Inner-peace, perhaps--It's not always about success, although in a way that kind of thing is success. Succeeding shouldn't be clearly defined as "rising to the top". That's over-generalizing.
The primary thing I see as strength is resilience and being able to stand on your own. I guess most people would define strength as positive attributes that they may not have.

~People used to tell me I was strong because I didn't take any crap and always rose above anything that came my way. I followed through on everything I said I would. My word meant everything to me.
I think of Oprah when I think of someone strong, it's an emotional strength. She has so many things going on in her life and had a bad childhood, but overcame it all.
I forgot to mention that I'm labeled a "survivor" because of my horrible childhood/past, I'm alive, I'm still able to think very well and make good decisions.
Merry Christmas~

A strong person can't be knocked down physically, mentally or emotionally. They can withstand anything. They stand up for what they believe in. They don't just take the easy way out. They practice self-control. They are brave, responsible, resilient, honourable.

a strong person is a person who can pass over the problems,a person who fronts the problems and rezolves them.
a person can be made strong by the life itself,by the problems,by the pain.but a strong person passes over all this bad things.
also,if u refer to body strenght,then a strong person is possesing phisical power and resistance.

Being strong is the ability to overcome all the crap that life throws at you and to be at peace or remain reasonably positive despite going through bad stuff.
