Because we know that psychological strength is so critical for successful living, it would be helpful to observe it from as many angles and perspectives as possible. Interestingly, one of the best ways to observe inner strength is to study the behaviors and actions of ruthless people! If you examine the lives of some of the most notorious brutes, criminals, and scoundrels in history, you will notice how they demonstrate an innate capacity to exercise psychological strength. Though that power is more than offset by their despicable aims, we can learn to discriminate between their strength, and their false and evil intent. For example, take any villain in a film or a novel or in history, and watch how they exercise their strength. Notice their fortitude, their perseverance, their toughness, their willingness to act at all costs to pursue their aspirations and goals. Notice how their will, drive, determination, and persistence enable them to overcome many of the obstacles that come their way. Even as we reject their ruthlessness, their brutality, their mercenary ways, their heinous aspirations and motives, we can still learn from their demonstration of will, power, and fortitude, as they try to navigate through the vicissitudes of life.

Another way to observe strength in action is to examine individuals who have made the transition from out of weakness. One way to do this is to observe people in the public eye. I am sure we have all watched a famous movie or pop star fall on difficult times, only to summon the strength that gets them back to the top. Likewise, some of us have seen how sports figures summon the strength to return from serious injury, or demotion, or from drug and alcohol abuse. Finally, we may have observed public leaders overcome a particular weakness, enabling them to prevail over challenging circumstances.

In addition to observing people around us -- such as friends, associates, or individuals in the public spotlight -- we can also observe famous people in history, or interesting characters in literature who have either demonstrated their inherent capacity for strength, or have had to make a difficult, even wrenching transition from out of weakness to exercise it.

well academic intelligence is a kind of psychological strength,soemone who is resilient and someone that can see through other people in the sense of not allowing themselves to be manipulated,understanding others motives and intentions,not allowing others to rip them of their self esteem,not taking the abuse dealt by another,but also qualities such as not taking out ones own pain on another,with the discipline not to do so,not allowing oneself to be jealous or envious or abusive unto others,recognizing you have no right interfering in the life of another,only help if it is asked of you,having a stoic and patient understanding of the world!also being self reflective and corrective on ones own behaviour and practising autopsychotherapy on oneself when it is needed!
