COURAGE

ATTRIBUTES OF COURAGE

  1. ) Commitment – When they make promises, they are committed to fulfilling or carrying out their promises. The commitment is a driving force that gives them courage to continue. For example, a person who committed himself to the clearing of the classroom. This commitment gives him or her courage to clean the classroom whether it is convenient or not.
  2. ) Endurance – It is the ability to suffer difficulties or pain with strength and patience.
  3. ) Determination – The ability to continue trying to achieve what you have decided to do even when this is difficult is called determination. Many people fail to achieve the desired result because of lack of determination.
  4. ) Steadfastness – It is the faithful and loyal way of following a thing, a discipline or religion. When a person is steadfast, he/she follows that discipline or religion without looking back
  5. ) Diligence – A person who works hard.
  6. ) Boldness – To be bold means not to be afraid of taking risk to achieve good things. It could also involve making difficult decision to attain a greater height. The fear of taking such risks make people to remain mediocre today.
