Courage comes in many shapes, sizes and
forms. Sometimes we forget for ourselves, while racing into a burning to save lives
and helping out a person who need us, even if smaller occurrences, small &
simple form of kindness can count as acts of courage.
Courage, according to Aristotle, is the mean between fear
and recklessness.
For example
1) Telling bitter truth before everyone.
2) Go beyond of any rules & do the right one
Therefore, acts full of courage can happen on the small rate, but
also on the smaller, day to day life level, as now a day’s people are very selfish
& have no time to think about others. I believe a courageous person understands danger, and
chooses to overcome their fear and proceed to face the danger and act
according to their values.
It
is not fearlessness, recklessness, or rashness, it’s the pride to do right thing.
Sometimes it’s not easy to do the right thing when most of the people in this
world believe in blind believes & wanna to stay in their mentality. It is a
well considered, wise, and brave decision to behave constructively despite the
fear, discomfort, or temptation. Courage is a strength drawn from a wise
balance between the weaknesses of cowardice. It is the discipline to act on
wisely & chosen values .Because courage always not roar sometimes it
silently motivate us to do the right thing. Because
courage allows us to act on our values rather than our impulses, its virtue has
long been recognized.

There is some courage within
us ….which motivates us …
Physical Courage
Physical courage is the type of courage
that often comes to mind even if we have not that much strength to do that .Sometimes
we are inspired and humbled by the stories which indirectly motivates us. Some people
become history before us for their courageous work for the society .sometimes we
all hope that when called upon to face a crisis, we too will be willing to risk
our physical safety to save our own life and the lives of others.
Intellectual Courage
We’re living a time of countless new
problems. If we are to solve these problems, it will take men who have the
courage to think bold new ideas and have the courage to endure society .In our History
is full of great men who have displayed manly intellectual courage. Mahatma Gandhi
devoted his life to the pursuit of truth. His teachings have inspired many.
Another example .sometimes you have to stand for what is right; IT SHOWED THE INTELLECTUAL COURAGE TO STAND FOR TRUTH, EVEN IF IT MEANT DEATH.
EXAMPLE: - MARTIN
LUTHER KING, ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Moral Courage
Moral courage can be defined as the
power and determination to follow what one believes to be right, regardless of
cost to one’s self, and irrespective of the disapproval of others .it also Like intellectual courage,. One example that comes
to mind is that of Gandhi. Gandhi lacked in military and economic strength, still
he won because for his moral courage. Through his use of non-violent protest,
Gandhi was able to persuade the British government with his courage to liberate
India. Another is mother Teresa …who serve many people .she only devoted towards
her work & became memorable for us.
EXAMPLE:-DALAI LAMA, GHANDHIJI, NELSON MADELA,
MOTHER TERESA, SOCRATES
Courage to Be Great
As with all the types of courage, you
must start with the small decisions and work up to the bigger ones. Start
identifying the ways in which fear is holding you back from your goals and your
happiness. Remember, that this fear can take your success .always remember, you haven’t done it yet because
it’s an unpleasant task, but because you are afraid to do it .when ever this
thought strike in your mind think it’s result , it may help many . Before quitting
think about others who need you. If you’ve been afraid to begin a workout
program, then how can you do it, have you ever ask this question to yourself. Before
going to battle field you die due to your cowardice nature. The more fears you
face and overcome the more your courage and confidence will grow.
