Physical strength is important for
people in the corporate world but mental strength is far more important.
Physical weakness can be overcome by medication and rest but it is nearly
impossible for mentally weak people to get back on their feet after a failure
in the corporate world or any other field for that matter. That is why it is
extremely important for entrepreneurs and professionals, especially in a
developing country like Bangladesh to keep them psychologically strong. Here
are 10 characteristics of a mentally strong person:
1. Never feel sorry for
themselves: Failure
is a part of life and mentally strong people know it very well. So they do not
waste time feeling sorry for themselves. They give the whole incident one look
to figure out what they did wrong and then they move past it. Mentally strong
people are well aware of the fact that life is unfair and therefore they do not
ponder over petty issues.
2. They take charge: Another sign of
mental strength is strong leadership ability. They always take charge of the
situation and act upon the need of the circumstances. Mentally strong people do
not have a superiority complex but they do not feel inferior to the others as
well.
3. Adaptation: Things are constantly
changing in this world, specially in corporate world. People who want to
progress in life adapt with the change gracefully. Mentally strong people test
themselves in different environment and new situations to overcome their fear
of the unknown. Only someone who is open to change can adapt to any situation
and do their best.
4. Do not waste time on things
beyond their control: Mentally strong people accept the fact that there
are certain things that cannot be controlled. They do not lose sleep over small
issues like unfavorable weather, political turmoil or transportation hindrance.
They face these problems head-on and find a workaround to keep their daily
routine smooth.
5. Be kind and fair: There are people in this world that has an
uncontrollable need to please people regardless of how hard it becomes for them
and there are people who do not care about others at. A mentally strong person
is a perfect balance of these two. They are kind reasonable. If the other one
if asking for something reasonable they do it gladly and if someone us
demanding something totally unfair, they have the mental strength to say no to
them.
6. Take risks: People who play
it safe all the time cannot progress anywhere. Not being able to take risks is
a sign of weakness. On the other hand taking risks without thinking them
through is a sign of being foolish. People who are not afraid of taking
calculated risks are mentally strong. They accept what worst case scenario and
then act upon it.
7. Do not make the same mistake twice:
People
will always make mistakes; it is in human nature. But mentally strong people
make sure they do not make the same mistake twice.
8. Do not feel jealousy: Only the strong
can feel happiness when others find success in their work. They do not resent
successful people; they find encouragement in their success and learn what they
should do to have the same success.
9. Enjoys solidarity: Mentally strong
people enjoy the lone times they get to organize their thoughts and make
necessary plans. They are independent to make their own actions and ideas.
10. Patient: It takes a lot
of strength to be patient in this fast world. It can take months or years to
make even the best executed plan fruitful. Mentally strong people wait
patiently for their work to bring some god results and at the same time they
plan for their next action.
