Chaudhury Satya Das, Editor, Education & Awareness

 

Courage plays an important role in human life. It is most essential for success. Especially for children, courage is  inevitable for achieving success in every walk of life.  The following acts of courage can make your life prosperous  and meaningful.

1. The Courage to Take Responsibility:- Responsibility plays a vital role in life. A responsible child excels in every field and is liked by all. On the other hand, an irresponsible one just suffers. Hence, you must have the courage to take responsibility.

 2. The Courage to Tell the Truth:- Truth alone triumphs. It is the only path in life upon which you will never get lost. Walking on the path paved with truth requires a strong willingness. The travelers of this path may face many hurdles and obstacles, but at last achieve greater victory which lasts forever.  Hence, you must have the courage to tell the truth and to do what is right.  This reflects your inner values, what you are and who you are. 

3. The Courage to Accept Challenges:- Life is full of ups and downs, happiness and miseries.  The world is not  so as it is looked. Too often people living with you can make your life miserable by their evil planning as a result of their jealousy, failure  or inferior complex.  The fact is you do not invite failures or miseries, but just suffer from it because of others’ nasty diplomacy. Hence, you all must have the courage to accept challenges in life.  Remember, ultimately victory is yours, but you have to display that courage.

4. The Courage to Dream High:- Dreams have many important roles in life. It is rightly said that think big and dream high, success will knock at your door. Hence, the person who always dreams high, makes his life bright and prosperous. You will never have bigger dreams in life, unless you possess the courage to dream high. You, therefore, should dare to create a vision for your life that is bigger than the one you’ve now.   Inspire yourself that you can make the impossible possible with your courage.

5. The Courage to Believe in Yourself:- In the world of complexity,  it is only the courage of self reliance which can provide  the crown of success. Hence, you must believe in yourself and keep firm faith on you to climb the steps of success in all seasons of life- fair weather or cloudy and windy. Be genuine, humble, unpretentious and hard working, success will be in your clutch.

6. The Courage to Protest & Speak Freely:- People in many odd situations remain silent observer. Some do not support the wrong deed, but keep quite having no protest power. Some also enjoy when their mates or colleagues are in misery.  They forget that they are also a part of the injustice that someone else is going to face because of their silence. Hence, you all must have the courage to protest against the evils and fight against wrong deeds. Once you develop this courage, you can feel how better will be the environment in which you are a part. Remember, those who always remain silent, become victims of their silence inspite of doing nothing wrong. 

7. The Courage to Keep Trying:- Success and failure are the two side of the same coin. The charm of success cannot be tasted without experiencing failure. Hence, you all must possess the courage to taste failure and overcome it during reaching at your goals.

8. The Courage to Listen to Your Heart:- Mind is fluctuating. Evil always resides in the evil mind. Heart is pure and divine. Jealous and suspicious people are always misguided by their mind. They never listen to their heart. While taking decisions their hearts accept defeat in the battle with their minds. They realize their faults when they evaluate them silently, but their dishonesty and selfishness force them to listen to their cruel mind. Misguided by their mind, they get pleasure in giving sorrow and shock to others. They forget that they have to fall in the pit which they are digging for others. Hence, always listen to you heart.

9. The Courage to Praise the Enemy:- Enmity is a part of the life. While climbing the steps to success it is natural to find some enemies harming you and pulling you downwards. Hence, you all must have the courage to praise your enemies. You must not spoil your time and energy after those cruel fellows. If you do this, you unnecessarily consume some of your valuable time and misutilize your energy which is provided to you by the Almighty for noble works. Hence, develop the courage to praise your enemies and automatically you will achieve more success.

10. The Courage to Help Others:- Helping someone in his need or in his distress is a noble quality. Remember, by reducing someone’s misery, you not only  do a great work but  your name is written in the good book of God. What this needs? Only courage.  Display courage in time of other’s distress and help them.

Hence, you all must realize the importance and value of courage, and make it a part of your life in order to be a successful, ideal and noble person.
