“Never mind,” she said, “I can get on by myself. You don’t have to help me,' said Valli to the bus conductor. She shows extraordinary courage in making her bus journey all alone.
Taking inspiration from Valli’s character, write a paragraph on ‘Courage is the Ability to Take Risk in Pursuit of One’s Dreams’.
Courage is the Ability to Take Risk in Pursuit of One’s Dreams
What is courage? It is not lack of fear but it is how you control fear. In other words, courage is one’s ability to set a goal and then take the first step in the direction of achieving it and that too without any guarantee of success. If only we can take this first step, we can achieve our goals and fulfil our dreams in life. Alexander the Great had a goal, a dream. It was to establish a world empire. And then, he set out on a world conquest. Gandhiji had a dream. He wanted to see India liberated from the foreign rule. He took the first step towards realizing his goal. Great people had great mastery over their emotion of fear; hence we call them courageous. Thus, it is rightly said that courage is the ability to take risk in pursuit of one’s dreams.
