My definition of courage
Courage is a word that means many things. Courage is basically the same as bravery. I personally think that courage is not some thing that someone can give you because to have courage you have to make sacrifices no matter what the event is. Courage can’t be bought or sold it has to be earned. Living life without courage is still possible but it will be boring because you limit yourself for what you can do. Some people say that courage is dreadful because of the risks you have to take and how unsafe it can be but if you believe this you can’t obtain complete courage because part of being courageous is to face your fears even if you have to give up the thing you want most. Courage is the ability to achieve a greater standard above your fear even if you do really fear it. Courage isn’t that you can get rid of your fears it is that you can confront them. Courage may seem very difficult especially when it’s talking about your fears but once you overcome it you will have courage. To be courageous you don’t have to be strong or fast but you must have will power.

“Living life without courage is still possible but it will be boring because you limit yourself for what you can do.” I loved this line of your writing Ramzi - it is so true. I just think of all the people who I have met who live their life without courage and I always think, you only have one life so live it to remember!
It is a personal goal for me to be more courageous in my life too. Standing up to something or someone or facing a fear is so nerve wracking……..but worth so much.
It is great to be able to read what you have been writing with Mr. R - impressive!
