What makes someone weak? What makes someone strong?

My definition of weak is someone who generally and genuinely believes that they cannot get what they want out of life. A strong person is someone who generally and genuinely believes they can get what they want out of life. Do you think this definition is too simplistic?

Mine boils down to self-discipline

@Dan193 i feel that self discipline is instrumental to increasing one's strength, but i do think strength is inherent to a degree.

I think people can be strong without it, but never as strong as they could be with it.

@SW-User to me thats what strength means. Big muscles or being a big shot, is not what impresses me as much as when I see or hear somebody's story of growth through struggles.

Big muscles or being a big shot,

That raises a valid point too. There are different forms of strength.
