“I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
---Nelson Mandela
Courage is something most strive to achieve when coming face to face with certain situations. It can be defined as 'strenght in the face of pain or grief'. Nelson Mandelas statement means more than courage meaning to be brave, but of going past ones fears. I agree with this because being courageous isn't about just not being scared or too small to over come something, but its more about the fact that they were able to deal with the process itself. Its one thing to stand tall and say you're fearless and it is another to actually show how fearless and courageous one is during the actual process.
Mandela makes a good point when he says "The brave man is not one who does not feel afraid, but who conquers that fear." What he is saying is that there is more than just representing what the word 'courage' means. One must go deeper and explore in order to fully understand and become such.
