21 signs you're mentally stronger than average - Steven Benna
http://www.businessinsider.com/signs-you-are-mentally-strong-2015-9
Mental strength takes a long time to develop. It is the daily practice of pushing yourself to grow stronger, maintaining realistic optimism, and setting healthy boundaries. Mentally strong people don't do things like waste time feeling sorry for themselves or give away their power to other people. How do you know where you fall on the spectrum? We asked psychotherapist Amy Morin, the author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do." And she shared the following 21 signs you're mentally stronger than average, which we've listed here in her words:
1. You balance emotions with logic. Mentally strong people understand how their emotions can influence their thinking. In an effort to make the best decisions possible, they balance their emotions with logic.
2. You choose productive behavior. While it may be tempting to make excuses, complain about other people, and avoid difficult circumstances, mentally strong people refuse to waste time on unproductive activities.
3. You feel confident in your ability to adapt to change. Mentally strong people know that although change is uncomfortable, it's tolerable. They focus their energy on adapting to change, rather than resisting it.
4. You face the fears that hold you back. While mentally strong people don't need to conquer fears because they have something to prove to others, they do strive to face the fears that hold them back.
5. You learn from your mistakes. Mentally strong people don't hide or excuse their mistakes. Instead, they learn from them.
6. You balance self-acceptance with self-improvement. Mentally strong people accept themselves for who they are, while simultaneously recognizing their need for personal development.
7. You genuinely celebrate other people's success. Mentally strong people cooperate — rather than compete — with those around them. They don't feel as though other people's success somehow diminishes their own achievements.
8. You are comfortable living according to your values. Mentally strong people make decisions with relative ease because they understand their priorities and they live according to their values.
9. You focus on sharpening your skills, rather than showing them off. While some people seek validation from others, mentally strong people are less concerned about gaining recognition. Instead, they're intrinsically motivated to become better.
10. You live an authentic life. Mentally strong people are true to themselves. Their words are in line with their behavior.
11. You view life's hardships as opportunities for growth. While hardship causes some people to grow bitter, mentally strong people let adversity make them better.
12. Your self-worth depends on who you are, not what you achieve. Mentally strong people feel good about themselves, whether they win or lose.
13. You practice delayed gratification. Mentally strong people view their goals as a marathon, not a sprint. They're willing to tolerate short-term pain when it can provide long-term gain.
14. You bounce back from failure. Mentally strong people don't view failure as the end of the road. Instead, they use their failed attempts as opportunities to gain knowledge that will increase their chances of success in the future.
15. You're a realistic optimist. Mentally strong people are able to look for the silver lining and think on the bright side, but they don't allow their optimistic tendencies to blind them to reality.
16. You accept personal responsibility for your choices. Mentally strong people don't needlessly beat themselves up, but they do accept complete responsibility for their actions.
17. You express gratitude. Rather than exclaim they need more, mentally strong people acknowledge they have more than they need.
18. You focus on what you can control. Mentally strong people are effective and productive in life because they devote their resources to the things they can control.
19. You engage in active problem-solving. Mentally strong people don't dwell on the problem — instead, they create solutions.
20. You're open to learning more from all that surrounds you. Mentally strong people are constantly learning from their circumstances and the people they encounter every day.
21. You work on your weaknesses, rather than masking them. While many people work hard to disguise their vulnerabilities, mentally strong people invest their energy into improving their shortcomings.

It's all the more commendable, as the woman is from minority community, and can be an inspiration for many people, and also challenge our thinking and ideas based on religion and culture. Where we imbibe good that we find, even if outside of traditional boundaries, is what will help us cross the obstacles and progress ahead....

It is the forum policy to post only in English, and respect that. However, I received this joke, which had me in laughing hard in a long time and hence taking the liberty to post. If the mods find it violation of the rules, the same may be deleted, but suggest only after reading it, and having a good laugh. :lol::lol::lol:
For those who do cannot read hindi, apologies, as this joke will not be a joke without using hindi.
अंग्रेजी के प्रोफेसर से एक स्टूडेंट ने पूछा कि सर नटुरे का अर्थ क्या होगा?
प्रोफेसर साहब हैरान. टालने के लिए कह दिया कि कल बता दूँगा। उन्होंने पूरी डिक्शनरी छान मारी, किन्तु उन्हें नटुरे शब्द नहीं मिला।
अगले दिन स्टूडेंट ने फिर से पूछा कि सर नटुरे का मतलब क्या होता है?
उस दिन भी उन्होंने बात टाल दी। अब तो वह रोज़ पूछने लगा। प्रोफेसर साहब उससे इतना घबराने लग कि उस लड़के को देखते ही रास्ता बदल देते, किन्तु वह रोज़ आकर उनको टेँशन देकर चला जाता।
अंत में झुँझला कर उन्होने उस लड़के से कहा कि मुझे नटुरे की स्पेलिंग बताओ।
लड़के ने कहा
NATURE
अब तो प्रोफसर साहब का ख़ून खौल गया। उन्होंने उस लड़के से कहा कि मुझे बेवकूफ बनाते हो, नेचर को नटुरे कह कह कर तुमने मेरा जीना मुश्किल कर दिया था। मैं तुम्हे कॉलेज से निकलवा दूँगा।
लड़के ने झट से प्रोफेसर साहब के पैर पकड़ लिये और रोते रोते कहा कि
सर ऐसा अनर् मत कीजिएगा नहीं तो मेरा " फुटुरे (Future) ख़राब हो जाएगा।.... :lol::lol::lol:

(Edited excerpt)
When Elon Musk was just 24 years old, he cofounded a software company called Zip2. The company quickly grew to support clients like the New York Times and Chicago Tribune, and eventually sold to Compaq for more than $300M. By 28, he'd already made $22 million from his first company sale. He could have lived in luxury and comfort for rest of his life.
He wasn't looking for comfort...
Musk immediately used $10M from the sale of his company to found x.com, which, after a quick merger, became PayPal. Just 3 years later, in 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion, netting Musk around $175 million, as he was still the company's largest shareholder. If $22 million wasn't enough to support a comfortable life... another $175 million at age 31, certainly would have helped.
But he was just getting started...
Even before PayPal was sold, Musk had already founded SpaceX with $100 million of his own money. Why didn't he want to ride off into the sunset on a ranch somewhere in Argentina? He had a larger vision of building products that changed the landscape of the universe forever. A comfortable life wasn't going to do that for him. The kind of legacy he was after would require some work. By 2008 SpaceX was - according to some - days from going broke, before being "saved' by a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. Today, SpaceX has achieved a long list of firsts in the space industry. It's the only private company to dock at the international space station, as well as the only private company to return a spacecraft from low orbit. It has also created some of the most powerful space rockets in the world. Being a pioneer in space travel is hard, it's uncomfortable, but it's just a part-time job for Elon Musk.
Possibility took precedence over comfort...
In 2004, Elon Musk led the first institutional round of financing for a new electric car company called Tesla, while he was still heading SpaceX. He wasn't the founder, but he believed strongly in Tesla's ability to revolutionize the car industry and provide the first mass produced electric car. When the company fell on hard times in the 2008 financial crisis and, like SpaceX, came within days of failing... he took over as CEO.
Since doubling as CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk has - in historical fashion - disrupted the (electric) car industry, creating innovations in battery range and safety, recharge times, charging stations and more. Along the way, he's built the company to a $20+ billion valuation, and he's been recognized as one of the greatest pioneers of the modern world, and even... the modern universe.
Comfort and sleep can wait when you are moving all of humanity forward...
