What a strong man is an example from life. Essay by student S.N. Mishchenko

School is a difficult test for every child. The student acquires basic knowledge at school, learns to correctly express his thoughts verbally and on paper. Such a wonderful subject as the Russian language helps in all this.

But before mastering the knowledge of the Russian language, the student needs to learn how to write essays. Children perform such tasks from the early grades, because to cope with the problems that may arise, it is necessary to understand how to write such works correctly. For example, consider an essay on the topic “Strong Man.”

How to prepare for work?

Since we have taken on a rather difficult topic, it is necessary to carefully prepare for writing the essay. The child must understand that work of this kind does not require any special knowledge - it is enough just to be able to reason correctly.

Together with your child, determine the style of writing the work. Will the essay on the topic “Strong Man” address any specific idea, or will the student write the work based only on personal reasoning and general examples.

It would not be amiss to recall works of Russian and foreign literature that are suitable for an essay on the topic “Strong Man”. The OGE often includes similar topics, so a 9th grade student who has the necessary knowledge of the school curriculum may already be faced with such a task.

Such works could be “War and Peace” by Tolstoy, “Fathers and Sons” by Turgenev, etc.

Key Aspects

Before your child starts working, you need to know what parts the essay consists of:

Introduction. This part allows the reader to understand what will be discussed next. The introduction should not be long, about 2-3 sentences are enough.
The main part is the main part of the work. This is where the student will describe his thoughts and reasoning, give examples and arguments. The main part makes up more than half the volume of the entire work and should fully reveal the idea and purpose set in the introduction.
The conclusion, like the introduction, should not be long - a couple of sentences will be enough. But the significance of the final part is great - the student must draw a personal conclusion and summarize his work.

Well, and most importantly, an argumentative essay on the topic “Strong Man” must be coherent, well-structured and literate.

Introduction

What can you write in the introduction? This question has several answers.

Firstly, the student can take a specific person and write a paper using his example. For example: “In my essay I want to talk about the feat of Yuri Lelyukov, a senior lieutenant in the reserves. This great man covered a grenade with his body in order to save 26 schoolchildren at the cost of his life.” Next, the child will have to cover a narrower topic.

Secondly, a student can take a quote from a playwright, philosopher or historian. Such a statement will already serve as an introduction.

Third, the student can begin by reasoning: “A strong person is a very broad concept, which can be discussed for quite a long time, but I think...”

Main part

What the main part will include directly depends on your introduction. Therefore, everyone will reveal the given thought differently.

But since it is quite difficult to cover all the options for discussing the topic, let’s consider how to write the main part if you are writing an essay on the topic “Strong Man” in the style of reasoning.

“Each person has his own concept of who a “strong person” is. I believe that a person who is capable of self-control and evaluation of his actions can be called strong. A person who is able to sacrifice his needs or life for the sake of someone can also be called strong. or. An example of this is Bazarov in the work “Fathers and Sons” by Turgenev. This man was completely passionate about science, and, unfortunately, died due to blood poisoning while trying to examine a patient.”

Conclusion

Finishing an essay on the topic “Strong Man” is quite simple - the student needs to express his own opinion.

“I believe that anyone can become a strong person, the main thing is to want it. If there are many such people in the world, then everyone’s life will become much better.”

This way, everyone can write an essay on the topic “Strong Man” without any problems. The main thing is to learn how to correctly express your thoughts, and everything will definitely work out.

Everyone has moments in life when difficulties overcome them, and their hands seem about to give up... The stories of these amazingly strong-willed people will help many of us understand that we can cope with any situation and under any life circumstances, the main thing is to believe in yourself and to your strengths!

1. Nick Vujicic: a man without arms and legs, was able to stand up on his own and is teaching others to do the same

Nick was born in Melbourne (Australia) with a rare disease: he is missing both arms up to the level of his shoulders, and a tiny foot with two toes protrudes directly from his left hip. Despite the absence of limbs, he surfs and swims, plays golf and football. Nick graduated from college with a double major in accounting and financial planning. Today, anyone can come to his lectures, where Nick motivates people (especially teenagers) to never give up and believe in themselves, proving by example that even the impossible is possible.

2. Nando Parrado: After surviving a plane crash, he waited 72 days for help

Nando and other passengers endured 72 days of cold captivity, miraculously surviving the terrible plane crash. Before the flight over the mountains (which, ironically, fell on Friday the 13th), the young people who boarded the charter plane joked about the unlucky date, but they did not at all expect that trouble would actually overtake them on this day.

It so happened that the plane’s wing caught on the side of the mountain and, having lost its balance, it fell down like a stone. Upon impact with the ground, 13 passengers were immediately killed, but 32 people survived, having been seriously injured. The survivors found themselves in conditions of extremely low temperatures, lack of water and food. They drank the melting snow and slept side by side to keep warm. There was so little food that everyone did everything to find at least some living creatures for the common dinner.

After 9 days of such survival in conditions of severe cold and hunger, the victims of the disaster decided to take extreme measures: in order to survive, they began to use the corpses of their comrades as food. So the group held out for another 2 weeks, at the end of which the hope of being rescued completely disappeared, and the radio transistor (sending signals for help) turned out to be faulty.

On the 60th day after the accident, Nando and his two friends decided to walk through the icy desert for help. By the time they left, the crash site looked terrible - soaked with urine and smelling of death, littered with human bones and cartilage. Putting on 3 pairs of pants and sweaters, he and a couple of friends covered enormous distances. Their small rescue team understood that they were the last hope for everyone who was still alive. The men braved the exhaustion and cold that followed them. On the 10th day of wandering, they finally found a way to the foot of the mountain. There they finally met a Chilean farmer, the first person in all this time who immediately called the police for help. Parrado led the rescue team using a helicopter and found the crash site. As a result, on December 22, 1972 (after 72 days of a brutal struggle with death), only 8 passengers remained alive.

After the plane crash, Nando lost half of his family, and during the disaster he lost more than 40 kg of weight. Now he, like the previous hero of this article, is giving lectures on the power of motivation in life to achieve goals.

3. Jessica Cox: the first pilot without arms

Jessica Cox suffers from a rare birth defect and was born without arms. None of the tests (which her mother took during pregnancy) showed that there was anything wrong with the girl. Despite her rare disease, the girl has enormous willpower. Today, as a young woman, Jessica can write, drive a car, comb her hair and talk on the phone. She manages to do all this with the help of her legs. She also graduated in psychology, trained in dance, and is a double black belt in taekwondo. On top of all this, Jessica has a driver's license, flies an airplane and can type 25 words per minute.

The plane the girl is flying is called "Ercoupe". This is one of the few models not equipped with pedals. Instead of the usual six-month course, Jessica took a three-year aircraft driving course, during which she was taught by three highly qualified instructors. Jessica now has more than 89 hours of flying experience and became the first pilot without arms in world history.

4. Sean Schwarner: overcame lung cancer and visited the 7 highest peaks on 7 continents

Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth, is known for its dangerous conditions for climbers, including strong gusts of wind, lack of oxygen, snowstorms and deadly avalanches. Anyone who decides to conquer Everest faces incredible dangers along the way. But for Sean Schwarner, as practice shows, there are simply no obstacles.

Sean was not only cured of cancer at one time, his case is truly considered a medical miracle. He is the only person in the world to survive being diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and Askin's tumor. He was diagnosed with stage four and final cancer at the age of thirteen, and according to doctors, he was not expected to live even three months. However, Sean miraculously overcame his illness, which soon returned when doctors again discovered a tumor the size of a golf ball in his right lung. After a second operation to remove the tumor, doctors decided that the patient would survive no more than two weeks... However, ten years later, Sean (whose lungs are only partially functioning) became known throughout the world as the first cancer survivor to climb Mount Everest.

After conquering the highest point on the planet, Sean is full of desire and strength to move on and, by his example, inspire people around the world to fight the disease. You can learn about this and his other mountain climbs, personal experience and ways of overcoming the disease in his book “Continuing to Grow: How I Beat Cancer and Conquered All the Peaks of the World.”

5. Randy Pausch and his last lecture

Frederick Randolph or Randy Pausch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In September 2006, Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer and that his disease was incurable. On September 18, 2007, he prepared and delivered a very optimistic (as for his condition) lecture entitled “The Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” within the walls of his native university, which soon became very popular on YouTube, and the professor invited many well-known media outlets to his broadcasts .

In that famous speech, he spoke about his childhood desires and explained how he achieved each of them. Among his desires were: to experience weightlessness; take part in a National Football League game; write an article for the Book World encyclopedia; becoming one of those guys "who wins the biggest stuffed animal at the amusement park"; work as a designer-ideologist for the Disney company. He even managed to co-author a book called “The Last Lecture” (on the same topic), which soon became a bestseller. Although after the terrible diagnosis they predicted only three months for him, he lived for another 3 years. Pausch died on July 25, 2008, after complications from cancer.

6. Ben Underwood: The Boy Who “Saw” with His Ears

Ben Underwood was an ordinary active teenager from California, just like his peers, he loved to skateboard and bike, play football and basketball. For the most part, the 14-year-old boy was just like other kids his age. What makes Underwood's story unique is that the boy, living a normal life for his age, was completely blind. At the age of two, Underwood was diagnosed with retinal cancer and had both eyes removed. To the surprise of most people who knew the teenager, he was not at all worried about his blindness, contrary to common stereotypes about blindness as the “end of life.”

So, how did he manage to move no worse than sighted guys? The answer is simple: it's all about echolocation, a technique commonly used by bats, dolphins and some other mammals and birds. When moving, Underwood usually made clicking sounds with his tongue, and these sounds were reflected from surfaces, “showing” nearby objects to him. He could tell the difference between a fire hydrant and a trash can, and could literally “see” the difference between parked cars and trucks. Coming into a house (where he had never been before), Ben could tell which corner had the kitchen and which corner had the stairs. Unshakably believing in God, the boy and his mother fought for his life to the last, but the cancer soon spread to Ben’s brain and spine, and he died in January 2009 at the age of 16.

7. Liz Murray: From the Slums to Harvard

Elizabeth Murray was born on September 23, 1980 in the Bronx, in a family of HIV-infected parents, in a New York area inhabited only by poor people and drug addicts. She became homeless when she was just 15, after her mother was killed and her father was taken to a pauper's shelter. Whatever the girl had to endure during this time, one day Murray’s life changed dramatically, namely after she began attending a humanities course at the Chelsea Preparatory Academy in Manhattan. And although the girl went to high school later than her peers (not having permanent housing and taking care of herself and her sister), Murray graduated in just two years ( note: in the USA the high school program is designed for 4 years). She was then awarded a New York Times Fellowship for Needy Students and accepted into Harvard University in the fall of 2000. Liz was forced to interrupt her studies at the university to care for her sick father. She continued her studies at Columbia University, where she was closer to him and remained with him until the end, until he died of AIDS. In May 2008, she returned to Harvard and graduated with a degree in psychology.

Subsequently, her biography, full of tragedy and faith, became the basis for a film released in 2003. Today, Liz works as a professional speaker representing the Washington Speakers Bureau. During each lecture for students and business groups, she tries to instill in her listeners the strength of spirit and will that pulled her out of the slums as a teenager and sent her on the right path.

8. Patrick Henry Hughes: Blind Cripple Who Participated in the Louisville Marching Band

Patrick is a unique young man, born without eyes and unable to fully straighten his arms and legs, making it impossible for him to walk. Additionally, two steel rods were surgically attached to his spine to correct his scoliosis. Despite all these circumstances, he overcame his many physical challenges and excelled as a student and musician. Patrick learned to play the piano and trumpet, and also began to sing. With the help of his father, he took part in marching band concerts at the University of Louisville School of Music.

A virtuoso piano player, vocalist and trumpet player, Patrick won numerous competitions and received awards for his willpower and spirit, after all, what did it take for a young man to achieve all this. Many publications and television channels wrote and talked about him, because such enormous willpower cannot go unnoticed.

9. Mat Fraser: the seal man whose illness did not prevent him from achieving success in show business

Englishman Mat was born with a serious disease - phocomelia of both hands (underdevelopment or absence of limbs). This was due to the side effects of the drug Thalidomide, prescribed to his mother during pregnancy. Unfortunately, this is far from the only case where imperfect medicine and professional errors by doctors can ruin lives.

Although Matt's hands grow straight from his torso, and his shoulders and forearms are missing, his physical disability did not prevent him from becoming a completely successful person. Fraser is not at all shy about his appearance; moreover, he often shocks the public by performing naked. Mat is not only a rock musician, but also a fairly famous actor, whose fame was brought to him by his role as Seal in the acclaimed TV series American Horror Story: Circus of Freaks. By the way, Fraser is far from the only actor in the series whose unusual appearance was not created with the help of makeup or computer graphics. It was probably phocomelia that helped Matt Fraser so believably play a character suffering from the injustice of nature.

Fraser proved to many that to succeed in show business it is not at all necessary to run to plastic surgeons, cutting up your body for the sake of fashion trends. The main thing is to have willpower, hard work and talent!

10. Andrea Bocelli: the blind singer who won the hearts of millions with his voice

Andrea Bocelli is a world famous singer from Italy. Andrea's rare musical abilities awoke in early childhood, when he learned to play the keyboard, saxophone and flute. Unfortunately, the boy developed glaucoma and almost three dozen operations did not give the desired result. As you know, Italians are one of the nations that adore football. It was this hobby that forever deprived the boy of his sight when (during a game) a soccer ball hit him in the head.

Blindness did not stop Andrea from studying: having received a law degree, he continued his musical education with Franco Corelli, one of the best opera singers in Italy. The talented young man attracted attention and began to be invited to various performances. Soon the young singer’s career rapidly took off. Andrea became a popularizer of opera music, successfully combining it with modern pop style. An angelic voice helped him achieve success and world fame.

11. Gillian Mercado: the girl who made the covers of glamor magazines despite her wheelchair

Few people can boast of meeting the strictest requirements of the fashion world. In an effort to get into the ranks of models, girls exhaust themselves with diets and exercise. However, Gillian Mercado proved that you can love your body even when it is far from modern ideals of beauty. In early childhood, Mercado was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a terrible disease that left Gillian confined to a wheelchair. It would seem that dreams of the world of high fashion were not destined to come true. Nevertheless, our heroine managed to attract the attention of the founders of the Diesel brand. In 2015, she was offered a lucrative contract and was often invited to various photo shoots. In 2016, she was invited to participate in a campaign for Beyoncé's official website.

Of course, no one will envy Gillian’s fate, because she is forced to overcome every second of pain. However, Mercado's popularity helps girls accept themselves as nature created them. Thanks to such strong-willed individuals, you begin to thank life for the gifts that we so often take for granted.

12. Esther Verger: multiple champion with paralyzed legs

Esther was born in the Netherlands in 1981. Since childhood, she was fond of sports, actively involved in swimming. However, during physical activity the girl often felt ill. Despite numerous tests, doctors for a long time were unable to give Esther an accurate diagnosis. After several brain hemorrhages, doctors finally determined Esther’s problem was vascular myelopathy. At the age of 9, the girl underwent a complex operation that lasted about 10 hours. Unfortunately, surgery further worsened the baby's condition, which left both legs paralyzed.

The wheelchair did not stop Esther from continuing to play sports. She played basketball and volleyball quite successfully, but tennis brought her worldwide fame. Verger became the champion of Grand Slam tournaments 42 times. Esther's hundreds of victories have become a source of inspiration for people with disabilities who dream of a sports career.

Although the girl finally retired from professional sports in 2013, she continues to achieve success. Trained in sports management, Verger now serves as director of an international wheelchair tennis tournament, is a consultant to the Dutch Paralympic team and gives lectures. In addition, she founded a charity foundation to help sick children play their favorite sport.

13. Peter Dinklage: became a screen star despite his unconventional appearance

Peter is a shining example of people who are able to achieve success despite all life's obstacles. Dinklage was born with achondroplasia, a rare inherited disease that affects the development of long bones. According to doctors, the cause of achondroplasia lies in mutations in the growth gene, which leads to dwarfism. The income of the boy's family was rather meager: his mother taught music, and his father (once an insurance agent) became unemployed. A far from rosy childhood was brightened up by performances in front of the public with his older brother, a talented violinist.

Usually fame comes to actors quite early, but a lucky star lit up for Peter only in 2003 (when Peter was already 34 years old) after the release of the film “The Station Agent.” The not-so-rich track record in the early years of his career is explained by the actor’s reluctance to take on roles that usually involve dwarfs. Peter flatly refused to play gnomes or leprechauns. From 2011 to the present day, Dinklage has played the role of Tyrion Lannister, one of the key characters in the most successful TV series of our time. His acting talent brought Peter many honorary awards, and not long ago a wax figure of Dinklage appeared at Madame Tussauds in San Francisco.

14. Michael J. Fox: actor, writer and public figure, who was not stopped even by Parkinson’s disease on his path to success

Canadian by birth, Michael gained fame in Hollywood from a young age. He was remembered by viewers for his role as Marty McFly in the cult series of films about time travel. Worldwide love from fans, an impressive fortune (which amounts to several tens of millions of dollars) - this is the envy of many. But Mackle’s life only seems cloudless. The actor was no more than 30 years old when he began to develop symptoms of Parkinson's disease, although this disease usually occurs in old age. For a long time, Michael did not want to come to terms with the diagnosis: his fierce denial of the disease almost became the cause of a new problem - alcoholism. Fortunately, the support of loved ones helped Fox come to his senses in time.

Fox (despite all the physical difficulties caused by tremors) continues to act in films to this day, amazing us with his acting talent. It is worth noting his participation in the series “Boston Legal,” where Michael played Daniel Post, a rich man who broke the law in an effort to preserve his health. Now Michael (in addition to his film career and writing) is actively involved in supporting people suffering from Parkinson's disease. In the late 90s, he founded a public organization designed to study aspects of the disease and ways to combat it.

15. Stephen Hawking: The paralyzed genius who inspired millions to study science

Speaking about people who have accomplished the impossible, one cannot fail to mention the luminary of modern science - Stephen Hawking. Stephen was born in 1942 in Oxford, a British city known throughout the world for one of the oldest universities. It is there that our genius will later study. His passion for science was probably inherited from his parents, who worked at a medical center.

During his studies (when Stephen was no more than 20 years old), he began to experience serious health problems due to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This disease causes damage to the central nervous system and leads to muscle atrophy, and subsequently can cause complete paralysis. Unfortunately, existing medications only slow down the disease, but do not cure it. Hawking, despite the attempts of doctors, slowly lost the ability to control his own body and is now barely able to move only one finger of his right hand. Fortunately for Stephen, his acquaintance with talented scientists bore fruit: thanks to the achievements of his friends, Hawking is able to move and communicate using an advanced wheelchair and a speech synthesizer.

For many people, a wheelchair becomes a curse that completely destroys their personality and desire to do what they love. However, Hawking clearly demonstrates to us that even a completely paralyzed person is capable of earning impressive sums, appearing in media headlines and building successful relationships on the personal front. Stephen's main achievement was his enormous contribution to modern physics and the promotion of science to the masses. Serious health problems have not deprived Stephen Hawking of his sense of humor: he loves to make comic scientific bets and even appeared in the comedy series “The Big Bang Theory”, playing the role of himself.

These amazing personalities proved by their example that people have limitless power. Man is capable of surviving in the harshest conditions. Will and perseverance help fight the disease and achieve success. Science, sports, cinema, music, the world of fashion - any field of activity remains accessible under any circumstances. There is no need to curse fate for all the misfortunes. Find an incentive to win and don't give up. And perhaps one day your path to success will motivate others!

How do you understand the meaning of the word STRONG person? ?

What kind of person can be considered strong? In my understanding, a strong person is one who will not offend the weak, who does not give up, even if the situation seems hopeless. A strong person is a person who tries to achieve everything on his own and can go against his principles or habits.

In the text In Oseyeva we see a boy who, after listening to the old man, was able to find a way to make peace with everyone he offended, sentences 30-33. . A person, even if he is still very young, who was able to overcome

himself, is a strong person.

In life we also meet strong people. For example, these are people with disabilities. I know the story of a wonderful man - Nick Vujicic. This strong man was born without arms and legs. As a child, Nick was worried about this, but he was able to overcome his fears and was able to accept himself for who he is. He achieved a lot in his life. Nick is the most famous motivational speaker. He is invited to universities and various other institutions so that he can guide people on the path of finding the meaning of life. His illness did not prevent him from getting married.

With Nick’s example, I wanted to say that a person, no matter what kind of person he is, disabled or not, must be strong: after all, everyone should have meaning in life. Even if you think that everything is over, there is no way out, you cannot give up. You need to believe in yourself. You need to stay strong.

Dictionary of synonyms A strong person is, first of all, an independent person who can independently resolve issues that arise in his life.

A strong-willed person is a person who knows exactly what he wants and knows what the meaning of his life is, and also, without wasting time on trifles, goes towards a clearly defined goal, achieving his dreams, while at the same time helping the people who surround him, energizing their own optimism.

This is a person who is able to triumph over himself and over circumstances.

A person who gets used to swearing ceases to distinguish between the colors of good and evil. Everything around him is assessed on a two-point scale: the worst is (insert any mat), and the best is class!!!

When speaking in curse words, you don’t have to think at all, which is why parrots can use them very well. A preference for swearing is a tendency to turn off the mind. Therefore, groups of people with a relatively low intelligence, such as the lower social strata, children, intoxicated and ordinary alcoholics, prison inmates, and the insane, are most often scolded.

The habit of scolding is directly related to a lack of shame, in other words, to a weakness of moral immunity.

Flaunting rudeness in language, as well as flaunting rudeness in manners, sloppiness in clothing, is a very common phenomenon, and it mainly indicates a person’s psychological insecurity, his weakness, and not at all his strength. The speaker tries to suppress in himself with a rude joke, harsh expression, irony, cynicism the feeling of fear, apprehension, sometimes just apprehension. By using rude nicknames from teachers, it is the weak-willed students who want to show that they are not afraid of them. This happens semi-consciously. I'm not even talking about the fact that this is a sign of bad manners, lack of intelligence, and sometimes cruelty. The basis of any slang, cynical expressions and swearing is weakness. D. Likhachev Habits and characteristics of a strong person

1. Strong people always go forward and never give up, despite the obstacles that come their way, they are not afraid or afraid of difficulties.

2. Strong people always learn a lesson from what others see as failure and are not afraid to admit their mistakes.

3. Strong people constantly build their own path to success and do not expect success to come to them. This is very important, because nothing just happens. To succeed, for your own happiness, you need to work, overcome yourself in order to achieve success and become happy.

4. The most important characteristic of a strong person is the absence of fear. Of course, they, like other people, are afraid, but they find the strength to overcome this fear.

5. Strong people never complain.

6. Strong people do not shift their blame onto some other person. Blaming another person for your troubles is much easier than admitting your mistakes.

7. Strong people find a way to maximize their potential.

8. Strong people are productive, busy and punctual; they don't pretend to work, they actually work.

9. Strong-willed people gather like-minded people around them - they need a united, friendly, strong team.

10. A strong person knows what he wants from life, he sees this life and does not look at it from the outside, as other people do.

11. Strong people do not imitate, but look for new ways, new facets for their creativity, work, and personal life.

12. There is such a wonderful phrase - “don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” A strong-willed person does not put off any of his affairs, work, problems, he does not wait for weather from the sea, he needs to move forward.

13. “It’s never too late to learn,” this is exactly what a strong person thinks. Such people are constantly learning and gaining experience; this is not a burden to them, but a joy. For them, any life experience is a lesson.

– – –

It is difficult to accurately describe all the qualities of a strong personality, but the main distinguishing features can still be identified.

High level of self-confidence and self-belief.

The ability to control your emotions.

A very important point is that 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 a position of reason and knows how to sensibly analyze events.

Of course, this is not an exhaustive description of a person who can safely be labeled as a “strong personality.”

Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263) - son of Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich. From 1236 he was the Prince of Novgorod and led 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 proved himself to be a talented commander, a prudent and far-sighted politician. After the Mongol invasion, he refused the Pope's offer to jointly fight the Mongols, realizing that Rus' was still too weak. Through his policy, he contributed to reducing the destructive raids of the Tatars. Alexander Yaroslavich did a lot to strengthen the grand ducal 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 and went into battle. Their spirit was strong!

Alexey Maresyev is a classic example of a strong-willed person! He not only survived without food, crawling from the battlefield with wounded legs, but also returned to duty, returned to the skies, and shot down many more enemy planes with his fighter.

Vivid examples of strong-willed people of our time are Valentin Dikul and Sergei Bubnovsky. Having received severe spinal injuries, they not only did not break down spiritually. They themselves survived, regained their health and teach others to do the same.

The phrase “person with disabilities” appeared not so long ago.

Today it is used by everyone who speaks and writes about people with disabilities, and no one is embarrassed that this phrase is fundamentally incorrect and even offensive. History knows a huge number of outstanding disabled people, whom it would not occur to a sane person to call people with disabilities.

Let's name some of them, indicating their physical disabilities:

ancient Greek poet Homer (blindness);

US President Franklin Roosevelt (poliomyelitis);

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 the arms and legs);

American writer Elena Keller (deaf-blind);

Soviet hero pilot Alexey 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 impairments do not interfere at all, but are sometimes the strongest incentive to live, create, develop and achieve the unthinkable.

Strength of spirit is the main thing that allows a person to go towards his intended goal, overcoming any difficulties along his life path. In my opinion, it is disabled people, more than anyone else, who clearly prove this to us. When you look at these people, you can’t help but think: if we were in their place, could we find the strength to remain ourselves, to live and enjoy life like they do? I think that we have something to learn from them, namely how to be strong, strong in spirit.

Nick Vujicic is a world-famous preacher and speaker. His performances are always very popular, he charges people with his positive energy and positivity. But... He is different from ordinary speakers - he has had neither arms nor legs since birth!

Despite this, he did not give up. He helps millions of people start enjoying life.

Nick Vujicic shows willpower every second of his life, enjoys every moment of his life. He doesn’t blame anyone for being “like this” because he is sure that everything in the world is done for a purpose.

People whose willpower can only be envied take part in the Paralympic Games. I bow to these people who, due to one or another circumstance, were injured, became disabled, but did not break down, were able to rise up and find themselves and their path in life.

Maria Iovleva. When Masha was born, her mother immediately rushed to abandon her. “The child was born with deformities, I refuse him,” said that statement. The doctors didn’t even think that Maria could survive, and the mother was advised to forget about her daughter. Like, there will still be 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 was incredibly long for Maria. From birth Iovleva could not speak and could not hear. She had developmental delays. 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 studied with a girl every day, who immediately seemed smiling and pleasant to her. Soon, ski coach Alexander Porshnev drew attention to Masha, who began to introduce Iovleva to the sport. Every day he personally took her to training, carried her through the snowdrifts, and taught her to sit on a special seat, called a bob, for cross-country skiing.

Roman Petushkov became a six-time champion of the Paralympic Games in Sochi.

The athlete won three gold medals in sitting skiing (at distances of 15 km, 1 km sprint and open relay) and in biathlon (at distances of 12.5 km, 15 km and 7.5 km). None of the Russians had ever managed to do anything like this before.

Tyumen resident Elena Remizova became a three-time Paralympic champion in Sochi.

The Siberian won all three golds in the group of athletes with visual impairments together with her leader Natalya Yakimova, competing in skiing competitions.

Quotes about strength The greatest happiness for which I ask heaven every day: let only intelligent and virtuous people surpass me in strength and knowledge. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg Every dignity, every strength is calm - precisely because they are confident in themselves.

Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky To justify ourselves in our own eyes, we often convince ourselves that we are unable to achieve our goal; in fact, we are not powerless, but weak-willed. François de La Rochefoucauld It is simply amazing what determination, courage and willpower are awakened from the confidence that we are doing our duty. Walter Scott Greatness lies not in being strong, but in using your strength well. Henry Ward Beecher If something is beyond your power, then do not decide that it is generally impossible for a person. But if something is possible for a person and is characteristic of him, then consider that it is also available to you. Marcus Aurelius Justice without strength is nothing but weakness, strength without justice is tyrannical. It is necessary, therefore, to harmonize justice with strength and to achieve this, so that what is fair is strong, and what is strong is fair. Blaise Pascal

A man was looking for an answer to a question that had been tormenting him for a long time: “What is force?” He learned that there was a sage in his region. He came to his husband, praised by glory, and saw: instead of the thin hut of a hermit, there was a solid house, children were making noise in the yard... The man was surprised: in his opinion, those who had comprehended the truth lived completely differently.

He turned to the owner with a request to help him find the answer.

And the sage answered:

You can find strength yourself. Find your own path or follow the path of your ancestors.
