Everyone has such situations in life when their hands fall, “the sky is like a sheepskin”, the mood is at zero, and it seems that it will not get worse. And it seems that you want to somehow improve the situation, cheer up, but the circumstances around are so unfavorable that you just wonder how to live on.
Have you ever tried to read the success stories of different people - businessmen and millionaires? Most of them had a situation that was perhaps even several times worse than yours. And this applies not only to money, as happens in most cases. This is about what you definitely have - these are arms and legs.
Strong Personality Video - Nike Vujicic
This is about Nike Vuychiche. He was born in Australia in 1982, for many now he is the same age. His family is a believer, consisting of Christians, healthy. His mother is a nurse and his father is a priest. In a word, nothing foreshadowed the birth of such a child. His sister and brother are absolutely normal and complete. Nick was born ... without arms and legs. Just imagine - he could not do anything on his own, 24 hours a day, relatives and friends were forced to take care of him. Immediately after the birth of Nick, his parents, of course, were in despair. Everyone around was perplexed how this could happen, no bad heredity, no reasons. In addition, the doctors said that the child would not live long. Little Nick's childhood was very difficult. Both physically and psychologically, because he had almost no friends, and ridicule constantly sounded around. The boy even decided to drown himself, but love for his parents kept him from doing so.
Category - strong personalities in history, this person can be attributed to all 100%. Now Nick is 28 years old and feels great. The young man managed to get a higher education, he does everything on his own, and even ... swims! And his typing speed on a computer is 43 words per minute. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Today, Nick is a millionaire and businessman known all over the world. Yes, yes, it really is. How did he manage to reach such heights? Only with the help of character! Difficulties hardened Nick when he was still small, in addition, faith helped him become a full-fledged personality and correctly relate to his physical handicap. Moreover, in this he was even ahead of many physically full-fledged people!
It is difficult to accurately describe all the qualities of a strong personality, but the main distinguishing features can still be distinguished.
· High levels of self-confidence and self-confidence.
The ability to control your emotions.
· A very important point - a strong person has a high degree of independence: he is independent of the opinions of others, various prejudices and public opinion.
· A strong individual always knows what he wants from life and perseveres to achieve his goals.
· A strong person looks at the world from the standpoint of reason and knows how to analyze events sensibly.
Of course, this is not an exhaustive description of a person who can safely be labeled a "strong personality."
Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263) - the son of Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich. From 1236 he was the prince of Novgorod and led the Russian troops in the Battle of the Neva (1240) and the Battle of the Ice (1242). For the victory over the Swedes on the Neva, he received the nickname "Nevsky". Alexander Nevsky showed himself as a talented commander, a prudent and far-sighted politician. After the Mongol invasion, he refused the offer of the Pope of Rome on a joint fight against the Mongols, realizing that while Russia was too weak. By his policy, he contributed to the reduction of the devastating raids of the Tatars. Alexander Yaroslavich did a lot to strengthen the grand duke's power and order in the country. He died in Gorodets, returning from the Golden Horde. He was canonized by the church as a saint.
In besieged Leningrad, people not only survived on meager rations, but also worked, went into battle. Their spirit was strong!
Alexey Maresyev- a classic example of a strong-willed person! He not only survived without food, crawling out of the battlefield with wounded legs, but also returned to duty, returned to the sky, shot down many more enemy aircraft in his fighter.
Vivid examples of strong-willed people of our time - Valentin Dikul and Sergey Bubnovsky. Having received severe spinal injuries, they not only did not break spiritually. They themselves survived, restored their health and teach this to others.
The phrase "person with disabilities" appeared not so long ago. Today it is used by everyone who speaks and writes about the disabled, and no one is embarrassed that this phrase is fundamentally wrong and even offensive. History knows a huge number of outstanding disabled people, who would not be called people with disabilities by a sane person. Let's name some of them with an indication of their physical shortcomings:
Ancient Greek poet Homer (blindness);
US President Franklin Roosevelt (polio);
German composer Ludwig Beethoven (acquired deafness);
· American musician Stevie Wonder (congenital blindness);
American musician Ray Charles (the most famous blind musician of our time);
American film actress Marlene Matlin (the first and only deaf film actress to win an Oscar);
· Russian artist Grigory Zhuravlev (congenital atrophy of arms and legs);
· American writer Helena Keller (deaf-blind and mute);
Soviet pilot-hero Alexei Maresyev (leg amputation).
In this case, on the contrary, we are talking about the limitless possibilities of physically limited people. We see that various functional disorders do not interfere at all, and sometimes they are the strongest incentive to live, create, develop and achieve the unthinkable.
Fortitude is the main thing that allows a person to go to the intended goal, overcoming any difficulties on his life path. In my opinion, it is the disabled, like no one else, who clearly prove this to us. When you look at these people, you involuntarily think: could we, being in their place, find the strength in ourselves to remain ourselves, live and enjoy life, like them? I think that we have something to learn from them, namely, how to be strong, strong in spirit.
Nick Vuychich is a world famous preacher and orator. His performances are always very popular, he charges people with his positive energy and positivity. But ... He is different from ordinary speakers - he has no arms or legs from birth!
Despite this, he did not give up. It helps millions of people to begin to enjoy life. Nick Vuychich shows willpower every second of his life, enjoys every moment of his life. He does not blame anyone for being "like that", because he is sure that everything in the world is done with a purpose.
The Paralympic Games are attended by people whose willpower can only be envied. I bow to these people who, due to certain circumstances, were injured, became disabled, but did not break, they were able to rise and find themselves and their path in life.
Maria Iovleva. When Masha was born, her mother immediately hurried to abandon her. "The child was born with deformities, I refuse him," the statement said. The doctors did not even think that Maria would be able to survive, and the mother was advised to forget about her daughter. Like, there will be more children. However, Masha survived! And at the age of 20, she won two gold and one silver medal at the Paralympic Games in Vancouver.
The path to these awards for Mary was incredibly long. From the very birth, Iovleva could not speak and did not hear. She had a developmental delay. But at the age of seven she was transferred to a boarding school, where she was lucky to meet a teacher who replaced her mother. Tatyana Lindt worked with the girl every day, who immediately seemed to her smiling and pleasant. Soon, ski coach Alexander Porshnev drew attention to Masha, who began to introduce Iovleva to sports. Every day he personally drove her to training, carried her through the snowdrifts, taught her to sit on a special seat called a bob for cross-country skiing.
Roman Petushkov became the six-time champion of the Paralympic Games in Sochi. The athlete won three gold medals in cross-country skiing (at distances of 15 km, sprint 1 km and open relay) and in biathlon (at distances of 12.5 km, 15 km and 7.5 km). None of the Russians have been able to do anything like this before.
Elena Remizova from Tyumen became a three-time champion of the Paralympic Games in Sochi. All three golds in the group of athletes with visual impairments, the Siberian won together with her leader Natalya Yakimova, speaking in skiing competitions.
There are a lot of people who have changed the world. These are well-known doctors who came up with cures for diseases and learned how to perform complex operations; politicians who started wars and conquered countries; astronauts who first orbited the Earth and set foot on the Moon and so on. There are thousands of them, and it is impossible to tell about all of them. This article lists only a small part of these geniuses, thanks to which scientific discoveries, new reforms and trends in art appeared. They are individuals who changed the course of history.
Alexander Suvorov
The great commander, who lived in the 18th century, became a cult person. He is a person who influenced the course of history with his mastery of strategy and skillful planning of war tactics. His name is inscribed in golden letters in the annals of Russian history, he is remembered as a tireless brilliant military commander.
Alexander Suvorov devoted his entire life to battles and battles. He is a member of seven wars, led 60 battles, not knowing defeat. His literary talent manifested itself in a book in which he teaches the younger generation the art of warfare, shares his experience and knowledge. In this area, Suvorov was ahead of his era for many years ahead.
His merit, first of all, is that he improved the tendencies of warfare, developed new methods of offensives and attacks. All his science was based on three pillars: onslaught, speed and eye. This principle developed in the soldiers a sense of purpose, the development of initiative and a sense of mutual assistance in relation to their colleagues. In battles, he always went ahead of ordinary soldiers, showing them an example of courage and heroism.
Catherine II
This woman is a phenomenon. Like all other personalities who influenced the course of history, she was charismatic, strong and intelligent. She was born in Germany, but in 1744 she came to Russia as a bride for the Empress' nephew, Grand Duke Peter III. Her husband was uninteresting and apathetic, they almost did not communicate. Catherine spent all her free time reading legal and economic works, she was captured by the idea of the Enlightenment. Having found her like-minded people at court, she easily overthrew her husband from the throne and became the full-fledged mistress of Russia.
The period of her reign is called "golden" for the nobility. The ruler reformed the Senate, took church lands into the state treasury, which enriched the state and made life easier for ordinary peasants. In this case, the influence of the individual on the course of history implies the adoption of a mass of new legislative acts. On account of Catherine: the provincial reform, the expansion of the rights and freedoms of the nobility, the creation of estates following the example of Western European society and the restoration of Russia's authority throughout the world.
Peter the Great
Another ruler of Russia, who lived a hundred years earlier than Catherine, also played a huge role in the development of the state. He is not just a person who influenced the course of history. Peter 1 became a national genius. He was hailed as an educator, "the light of the era", the savior of Russia, a man who opened the eyes of the common people to the European style of life and government. Remember the phrase "window to Europe"? So, it was Peter the Great who "cut through" it to spite all envious people.
Tsar Peter became a great reformer, his changes in the foundations of the state at first frightened the nobility, and then aroused admiration. This is a person who influenced the course of history by the fact that, thanks to him, progressive discoveries and achievements of Western countries were introduced into "hungry and unwashed" Russia. Peter the Great managed to expand the economic and cultural boundaries of his empire, conquered new lands. Russia was recognized as a great power and appreciated its role in the international arena.
Alexander II
After Peter the Great, this was the only tsar who began to carry out such large-scale reforms. His innovations completely updated the face of Russia. Like other famous personalities who changed the course of history, this ruler deserved respect and recognition. The period of his reign falls on the XIX century.
The main achievement of the king was in Russia, which hampered the economic and cultural development of the country. Of course, the predecessors of Alexander II, Catherine the Great and Nicholas the First, also thought about the elimination of a system very similar to slavery. But none of them dared to turn the foundations of the state upside down.
Such drastic changes took place rather late, as a revolt of discontented people was already brewing in the country. In addition, reforms stalled in the 1880s, which angered the revolutionary youth. The reformer tsar became the target of their terror, which led to the end of the transformation and completely influenced the development of Russia in the future.
Lenin
Vladimir Ilyich, a famous revolutionary, a person who influenced the course of history. Lenin led a revolt in Russia against the autocracy. He led the revolutionaries to the barricades, as a result of which Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown and the communists came to power in the state, whose rule spanned a whole century and led to significant, cardinal changes in the lives of ordinary people.
Studying the works of Engels and Marx, Lenin advocated equality and condemned capitalism in every possible way. The theory is good, but in practice it was difficult to implement, since the representatives of the elite still lived, bathing in luxury, and ordinary workers and peasants worked hard around the clock. But that was later, but at the time of Lenin, at first glance, everything turned out the way he wanted it to.
During the reign of Lenin, such important events as the First World War, the Civil War in Russia, the cruel and ridiculous execution of the entire royal family, the transfer of the capital from St. Petersburg to Moscow, the founding of the Red Army, the complete establishment of Soviet power and the adoption of its first Constitution fall.
Stalin
People who changed the course of history... The name of Iosif Vissarionovich burns in bright scarlet letters on their list. He became the "terrorist" of his time. The founding of a network of camps, the exile of millions of innocent people there, the execution of entire families for dissent, artificial famine - all this radically changed people's lives. Some considered Stalin the devil, others God, since it was he who at that time decided the fate of every citizen of the Soviet Union. Of course, he was neither one nor the other. The frightened people themselves put him on a pedestal. The cult of personality was created on the basis of general fear and the blood of the innocent victims of the era.
The person who influenced the course of history, Stalin, distinguished himself not only by mass terror. Of course, his contribution to the history of Russia has a positive side. It was during his reign that the state made a powerful economic breakthrough, scientific institutions and culture began to develop. It was he who led the army that defeated Hitler and saved all of Europe from fascism.
Nikita Khrushchev
This is a very controversial person who influenced the course of history. His versatile nature is well demonstrated by the tombstone erected to him, made of white and black stone at the same time. Khrushchev, on the one hand, was Stalin's man, and on the other, a leader who tried to trample on the cult of personality. He began cardinal reforms that were supposed to completely change the bloody system, released millions of innocently convicted from the camps, pardoned hundreds of thousands of those sentenced to death. This period was even called the "thaw", since persecution and terror ceased.
But Khrushchev did not know how to bring big things to an end, so his reforms can be called half-hearted. The lack of education made him a narrow-minded person, but excellent intuition, natural sanity and political flair helped him stay in the highest echelons of power for so long and find a way out in critical situations. It was thanks to Khrushchev that he managed to avoid a nuclear war during and even turn the bloodiest page in the history of Russia.
Dmitry Mendeleev
Russia has given rise to many great universals that have improved various areas of science. But Mendeleev should be singled out, since his contribution to its development is invaluable. Chemistry, physics, geology, economics, sociology - Mendeleev managed to study all this and open new horizons in these areas. He was also a famous shipbuilder, aeronaut and encyclopedist.
The person who influenced the course of history, Mendeleev, discovered the ability to predict the emergence of new chemical elements, the discovery of which is still taking place today. His table is the basis of chemistry lessons at school and at the university. Among his achievements is also a complete study of gas dynamics, experiments that helped to derive the equation of state of a gas.
In addition, the scientist actively studied the properties of oil, developed a policy of injecting investments into the economy and proposed to optimize the customs service. His invaluable advice was used by many ministers of the tsarist government.
Ivan Pavlov
Like all individuals who influenced the course of history, he was a very intelligent person, possessed a broad outlook and inner intuition. Ivan Pavlov actively used animals in his experiments, trying to highlight the common features of the vital activity of complex organisms, including humans.
Pavlov was able to prove the diverse activity of nerve endings in the cardiovascular system. He showed how he could regulate blood pressure. He also became the discoverer of the trophic nervous function, which consists in the influence of nerves on the process of regeneration and tissue formation.
Later, he took up the physiology of the digestive tract, as a result of which he received the Nobel Prize in 1904. His main achievement is considered to be the study of the work of the brain, higher nervous activity, conditioned reflexes and the so-called human signal system. His works became the basis of many theories in medicine.
Mikhail Lomonosov
He lived and worked during the reign of Peter the Great. Then the emphasis was placed on the development of education and enlightenment, and the first Academy of Sciences was created in Russia, in which Lomonosov spent many of his days. He, a simple peasant, was able to rise to incredible heights, run up the social ladder and turn into a scientist, whose trail of fame stretches to this day.
He was interested in everything related to physics and chemistry. He dreamed of freeing the latter from the influence of medicine and pharmaceuticals. It was thanks to him that modern physical chemistry was born as a science and began to develop actively. In addition, he was a famous encyclopedist, studied history and wrote chronicles. He considered Peter the Great an ideal ruler, a key figure in the formation of the state. In his scientific writings, he described him as a model of the mind that changed history and turned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe management system. Through the efforts of Lomonosov, the first university, Moscow, was founded in Russia. Since that time, higher education began to develop.
Yuri Gagarin
People who influenced the course of history... Their list is difficult to imagine without the name of Yuri Gagarin, the man who conquered space. Starry space has attracted people for many centuries, but only in the last century, mankind began to explore it. At that time, the technical base for such flights was already well developed.
The space age was marked by competition between the Soviet Union and the United States. The leaders of the giant countries tried to show their power and superiority, and space was one of the best ways to demonstrate this. In the middle of the 20th century, competition began over who could send a man into orbit faster. The USSR won this race. We all know the famous date since school: on April 12, 1961, the first cosmonaut flew into orbit, where he spent 108 minutes. This hero's name was Yuri Gagarin. The day after his journey into space, he woke up famous all over the world. Although, paradoxically, he never considered himself great. Gagarin often said that in those one and a half hours he did not even have time to understand what was happening to him and what his feelings were at the same time.
Alexander Pushkin
It is called "the sun of Russian poetry". He has long become a national symbol of Russia, his poems, poems and prose are highly valued and revered. And not only in the countries of the former Soviet Union, but all over the world. Almost every city in Russia has a street, square or square named after Alexander Pushkin. Children study his work at school, devoting to him not only school time, but also extracurricular time in the form of thematic literary evenings.
This man created such harmonious poetry that it has no equal in the whole world. It was with his work that the development of new literature and all its genres began - from poetry to theatrical plays. Pushkin is read in one breath. It is characterized by accuracy, rhythmic lines, they are quickly remembered and easily recited. If we also take into account the enlightenment of this person, his strength of character and deep inner core, then it can be argued that he is really a person who influenced the course of history. He taught people to speak Russian in its modern interpretation.
Other historical figures
There are so many that it would be impossible to list them all in one article. Here are examples of a small part of Russian figures who changed history. And how many others are there? This is Gogol, and Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. If we analyze foreign personalities, then one cannot fail to note the old philosophers: Aristotle and Plato; artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Monet; geographers and discoverers of lands: Magellan, Cook and Columbus; scientists: Galileo and Newton; politicians: Thatcher, Kennedy and Hitler; inventors: Bell and Edison.
All these people were able to completely turn the world upside down, create their own laws and scientific discoveries. Some of them made the world a better place, and some almost destroyed it. In any case, every person on planet Earth knows their names and understands that without these personalities, our life would be completely different. Reading the biographies of famous people, we often find ourselves idols from whom we want to take an example and be equal in all our deeds and actions.
There are very few strong personalities in our time, everyone is dismissive of minor troubles, but strong personalities fight to the end, and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and other successful people, and of course Valuev 🙂
I don’t even know if it’s possible to call a drug addict, a drunkard and a rapist (according to the official but not rumored version) a person ...
If possible, I would call Mike Tyson a strong personality. He's been through a lot, good and bad. More bad. And although he fell in the eyes of all the fans, both literally and figuratively.
On the other hand, every strength has a weakness. Therefore, strong personalities can also be attributed to: Vladimir Vysotsky, Stalin, Peter the Great, Yulia Timoshenko (just kidding), Pylyp Orlik, Steve Jobs, and many others. The main thing is that we know them, not they know us. They are strong in that they have achieved success with their work, or with their mind, or whoever could, but could ...
A strong personality is a person who does not bend before circumstances.
For me it:
Alexander the Great;
Peter the Great;
Catherine the Great;
Alexandra II (survived 7 assassination attempts);
Alexander the First (victory over Napoleon);
Napoleon Bonaparte;
Alexander Suvorov;
When mentioning a strong personality, the first thing that comes to mind is literary characters such as Pavka Korchagin.
And from real contemporaries, I would classify as strong personalities those people who do not bend under this power. For example, Makarevich, who openly expresses his position at the risk of concert activity; Alexei Navalny, who is not even stopped by house arrest; Ksenia Sobchak, who, due to her opposition activities, turned from a chocolate-covered blonde into an ignored blonde, who from a certain moment was not noticed on the central channels. These are the people you need to look up to.
Alexey Meresyev is definitely considered a strong personality. A feat, only a strong person can accomplish it. A story was written about Alexei Meresyev. You can remember Dikul, who regained the ability to walk. Strong people are strong personalities capable of moving forward in defiance of fate.
A strong personality, in my opinion, has strong character traits: she is independent, she has her own opinion and moves forward with all her might. Nothing will break a strong personality, because she respects herself and her own opinion.
I believe that a strong personality is Ksenia Sobchak.
Such an example of a strong personality of our time is certainly Alex Jones, an American radio and television presenter. He is the author of the InfoWars project (Information Wars), which includes a website, radio and TV show. This person boldly speaks revealing facts aloud and is not afraid of anyone, always calls a spade a spade, boldly asks uncomfortable questions to the most influential people and goes against the corrupt government and corrupt media to tell ordinary people about what is really happening in his country and in the world. - about what people will never hear in official sources. Once he even managed to secretly enter a meeting in the Bohemian Grove, about which none of the mere mortals knew anything before him (since entry there is strictly prohibited and carefully guarded), in order to finally see what the political and monetary elite of society is doing there every year and why is this meeting so confidential.
Also, personalities who are not afraid to go against the current include Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Natalia Poklonskaya.
Any dictator can be safely attributed to strong personalities, since far from every ruler can completely subjugate the masses of people. Most often, traits of a strong character appear in a person already in early childhood. In the future, they develop and grow stronger. These are traits such as the ability to keep one's word; willingness to take responsibility, make decisions; ability to cope with difficulties, avoid panic; the ability to influence other people, to convince them of their own rightness; willingness to admit their mistakes and correct them; courage and determination; the ability to earn the respect of people, etc.
The strong personal of our days, and recent events have confirmed this, is our president. He, in spite of everything, in spite of any difficulties, continues to bend his line and do what he considers his duty - to work for the good of Russia.
This feature of his character is especially striking in comparison with other heads of state who have neither the right nor the desire to speak their mind without obtaining permission to do so. Of course, it’s easier to be a puppet, someone always supports you, someone leads you, and even if one of the guides stumbles, ten others will immediately replace him.
And try to take responsibility only on yourself, what does not allow - lack of faith in yourself, in your strength, lack of education, bias or some personal sins?
A strong personality is a person who stands his ground, who has the character of a real man and who will bring the matter to the end. I think that's how you describe a strong personality. As an example of such a person, our President Putin came to mind. The man knows what he wants, he has character. In general, a real man and a person who will bring what he started to the end.
There are enough examples of strong personalities among people. But in my opinion, only Stalin could take 1st place among them, maybe he was not a benefactor, but rather the opposite. But the victory in the Great Patriotic War and his merit, albeit with great bloodshed. Of course, there were also such as Alexander the Great and Napoleon. But among the positive ones, I would name Solzhenitsyn. After all, how much he could endure and few people managed to survive.
If you think about it, nothing worthwhile in this life is given to us without struggle and overcoming difficulties - they are an integral part of the life path. We have a choice: either endure the pain and pass the test to the bitter end, or give up and suffer the pain of defeat.
Ludwig van Beethoven, Albert Einstein, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra - we hear these names from childhood. But few people know what trials they had to go through. They succeeded only through willpower.
Ludwig van Beethoven
At 26, Ludwig began to lose his hearing. But this circumstance did not stop him from composing music. When he almost lost his hearing, he wrote the "Moonlight Sonata", and being completely deaf, the bagatelle piece "To Elise" (the same one that sounds from music boxes).
Thanks to his persistent character and talent, he learned to listen to music inside, and after writing the 9th symphony, he himself conducted the concert. After the triumphant performance, he burst into tears. “For a person with talent and a love of work, there are no barriers,” Beethoven repeated.
Albert Einstein
When Einstein was a small child, it was hard to imagine that he would succeed in life. Until the age of three, Albert could not speak, suffered from autism and dyslexia. While studying at the gymnasium, he often missed classes, which is why he never received a certificate. To prove to his parents what he really is worth, Einstein prepared himself and entered the Polytechnic in Zurich the second time.
Albert said: “We are all geniuses. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is a fool.”
