Is this a trick question?
Strength has many meanings. The ability to resist a force is one, the ability of a force to overcome resistance is another.
Some people use the parable of the Grass and the Oak Tree.
On a pleasant day the Oak saw the grass being blown by the wind and laughed at its weakness. That wind did not budge the Oak and he was proud.
The wind turned into a storm that blew the grass down flat, the Oak laughed,. Then the wind became a hurricane and tore the Oak out of the ground and flung it around by its roots before tossing it aside.
After the wind was gone the Grass stood up again.

He got up this am and went to work (teaching) came home did shopping and cooked my dinner then took my grandson who was with us while mum and sister had to go out, back home, when he gets in he has more to do for me and book marking to do for his school for tomorrow!

The ability to, without question, help another in need. When you give to someone what they need (not what you want to provide) it shows great strength of character. That kind of love is rare.
Another show of strength is to keep going in the face of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. It takes great courage to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward when faced with a very rough patch in life.

Modesty and purity. *You* try being a young woman who goes against the "tramp-culture" we live in today. It takes strength! So does purity - you try to control yourself until marriage and then we will talk about strength. LOL That said, it has been God's strength that helped me do both of these things.

When a man isn't afraid to cry. Society says it shows weakness, but I think it shows strength because he's willing to let his guard down.

Words! They have the power to tear down and the power to build up. God used words to create the heavens and the earth and all that exists. We use words in every area of our lives. Our very life depends upon them!
Prov:18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Excellent question!
My answer is, to be meek and humble, like Jesus Christ was and is. It's only God who can tolerate the human race this much.
