Exercise 12.5 page 325

The first photo of the firemen fighting the blaze diplays courage. The men display courage, by helping others when people are in need and without any reservation of what may happen to them. The men put their lives on the line fighting the huge blaze without even thinking about the the possibility of the equipment failing to operate correctly. They face the fear and focus on the needs of others in a crisis. This is an act of selflessness also, known as courage.

The second photo with the penguins jumping from the ledge into the water. This displays courage by overcoming the fear of what may be in the water and to get the needs to survive in the wild. The penguins have to be able to be fearless of the water and to retrive food for survival. Courage is learning to be a survivalist in the wild and showing that becoming over fear is displaying courage. Courage is over coming the fear and despair of one's self.

  1. Although I agree that the firefighters must use their courage every time they enter a burning building, courage can be displayed many ways whether its fighting fires jumping of an ice cliff or standing up for right Courage is being able to face any fear or obstacle that comes your way. Courage can be killing a spider if your afraid of it or learning to swim despite the odds. Courage can be many things but one thing courage can never be is a bad thing. Because as long as you have the courage to take you through you are able to achieve anything that you set your mind to. Courage is doing your best to overcome your fears regardless of the situation you become involved in.

  2. Courage is a good thing. Courage is getting up after falling down. Whether an individual falls down mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually they need courage to get back up and persist. A person needs courage to look inside oneself to find their passion for life. Being courageous has different meanings at different times in life. Like most every one has said, courage can be defined and displayed in many ways. People need to look for opportunities to be courageous. Be courageous, stand for what you believe in. Be courageous, make a change. Be courageous, leave your mark.
