Courage is the ability to be brave in various situation in our life. Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well. Courage may make you confident of your success. If you have courage, you will not show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage, you mak look someone in the eye who you have wronged and say “I am sorry”: you may still smile even if you are seriously ill and know you are at the end of your life.
How can we build up our courage?
Believe you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents. Besides, your family and friends are always there for you.
Exercise your courage. It can be compared to a muscle(肌肉). The more we use it, the stronger courage gets.
Know that giving up is not a choice. It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong.
Fight to control your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid, but the differnce is that they can control their fear.
They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on.
Get courage by reading inspiring stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of.
