Examples of Toughness

Toughness is a physical property of all matter and consists of applying resistance to the possibility of breaking or deforming. It is in this sense the property of standing firm before a goal. In this sense, we can say that this term also applies to people as a quality and virtue.
From the physical point of view
In the field of physics, toughness is influenced by the composition of matter or its molecular structure. Every target can suffer three types of energy which are:
-
- traction
- comprehension
- the bending
From the human point of view
On the other hand, regarding the human being and his virtues , tenacity is a set of actions that make the person maintain firmness, strength, conviction and perseverance to meet a goal. It is also defined as resistance to adverse situations , even when there are failures on the way to achieve what you want, a tenacious person maintains the same passion and confidence in himself until he achieves his goal. This quality is linked to strength of spirit and also intelligence.
Tenacity is a quality that is not only attributed to people, but also to animals and in that sense it can be said that an animal is tenacious, for example, when it moves from one side to another, at high speeds and even constantly and patience to hunt their prey.
