From early childhood, and under many circumstances, we've all repeatedly heard the advice, hold on be strong , because it is the only way for anyone to go through life and find success. Boys are often told they must eat soup and vegetables, so they someday become a big strong man , hopefully with a strong mind. Little girls have no choice but to grow up to be strong women , between the job, the husband and the children, it's a must. From the early days of mankind being strong was the only way to survive, and succeed. Men from the dawn of time needed strong muscles to hunt for food, and sometimes strong legs to flee from the dreadful beasts that roamed the earth. Ladies of the middle age dreamed of knights in shining armor; all of them strong men in their own right, I'm sure. Strength fascinates somehow, and to this day a strong man competition keeps a popular appeal. The word has been part of our vocabulary for times immemorial; we speak of strong feelings, of strong medicine , of strong arms to hold us. It's not about to change so, let us all hang on, and be strong.
