Part 4 Courage

Courage is a trait that is hard for people to understand. Having courage is not about being afraid of nothing, its about being able to do things that many would not do. Courage is a word I know because when I learned Martial Arts courage is one of the seven codes of bushido. Courage is a trait that is misrepresented in the media. The media portarys courage a lot when it comes to a hero trying to overcome impossible odds, or doing an act of heroism. We all do an act of courage every single day in our lives. We all have the courage to get up everyday and go to school and try and make a living for ourselves. We may fail sometimes but we can not succeed if their is no failure. There is also no learning without first making mistakes. We all have courage the tough part is just learning how to show it. We are all afraid sometimes to be brave, to be courageous we overcome obstacles everyday because we have the courage to try.
