Strong People with Weak Minds

Recently I've been seeing an excessive amount of posts about "strong people". E.g. "Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials and tribulations, weak people, many a times, do not even realize how low they have sunk." (Amish Tripathi). I can guarantee that the "strongest people" have altered, changed, abandoned, and even forgotten their values at times. Obviously,  at no fault, everybody does such a thing, its human nature. So why would it make someone weak? And who's to say that strong people haven't sunk so low, you'd assume a captain tied an anchor to their ankle and threw them overboard?
This is merely one example among so many of unfair characterizations between weak and strong people. The question has to be asked; what makes a person weak or strong?  I believe that to be a strong person you must realize your own strength, and to be weak means to conform to the ideas that just because you don't follow a certain mindset you are weak. Your strength is your belief in yourself, and the validation of others shouldn't change that.
Fun fact: Months that begin on a Sunday will always have a "Friday the 13th."
