Once You Find the Way, You Will Do It
Once you find your way, there is no turning back; it is about understanding and knowing which steps to take. Upon discovering the path, you will realize that you can do it, and education will help you sharpen your skills, knowledge, and abilities to reach your goals.
The future of education will be built on these values alone:
Appreciation, Caring, Cooperation, Courage, Freedom, Friendship, Happiness, Honesty, Hope, Humility, Love, Patience, Peace, Quality, Respect, Responsibility, Simplicity, Thoughtfulness, Tolerance, Trust, Understanding & Unity.
These values make up our life. We don't have to do anything significant to master these. Just opening a door for someone, bringing a smile to someone's face, making friends with someone, trusting someone, understanding someone, and other little acts can do it all.
Why don't we promise ourselves that we will try our best to inculcate these values?

People believe women are weak and
vulnerable. Women also start thinking that they are soft and tolerate a
lot. But one day, when a woman stands up for herself and says it loud and clear that
'No, I am not weak'. It's the hidden power of courage inside her, which wakes her up, and she believes that she can and she will.
We all take birth, but we are born as humans the day we show courage to change the world.
I like to read quotes of great leaders as it gives shape to my thoughts. I have fun playing games from Skating and Swimming to Hopscotch and Ludo as they are full of fun. I think little things in life give us the most joy. I also love learning about computer languages. Acting is my goal.
Life is a dream,
It flows as fast as a stream.
We must decide our aim,
Life is like a game.
You shall face obstacles,
But you have to be the constable,
Face your struggles like a warrior,
Who wants to cross the barrier.
Just have a little courage,
And never be discouraged.
Have hope,
And you’ll be able to climb life’s tough slope!

Ms Aishwarya Kalia Ahuja TGT English Ahlcon Public School I am an experienced English teacher. Alongside teaching, I enjoy writing. I've also authored research papers and published poems. I've a keen interest in research which is always leveraged in analyzing learners' language needs. COURAGEMy stories were dealt with mock and fun Sneers, taunts, sarcasm were all I won. All smiles I was in To not let anyone hear my lyrics. I showed Courage every time No matter what the atmosphere is! I needn't put on my armour and show my strength A clear conscience doesn't exhibit its defence. My silence would yell my feats They'd soon regret their mistreat. I'll smile in my lyrics No matter what the atmosphere is! Wheel of time would turn soon. They will dance to my tunes What if I ace up my sleeve In how much time they'd retrieve? All smiles I was in To not let anyone hear my lyrics I showed Courage every time No matter what the atmosphere is! |

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” This quote is by Maya Angelou and tells us that courage is the first step to achieve anything. We all have courage within us; we need to connect with it and take the first step. Whenever I need courage in any situation, I take deep breaths and say positive affirmations and words and I get the courage to face the situation.
For gaining courage inside us we can make some positive affirmation cards which have words like – “Believe”, “Awesome”, “I have the power to make an impact”. These cards encourage us and tell us that we are good and we should try more new things with courage and confidence. Whenever we feel fearful, we can look and read these affirmation cards. It will help us to boost our confidence and gain courage.
Courage means different things to different people. To some, a soldier is what defines Courage to another. It may be leaser to yet another. It may be a person struggling through a dreaded disease. To me, Courage is what defines my mother. To me, she represents Shakti the Goddess with ten arms. She manages home, her work, me with astounding Courage. Come what may, she is ready to face the challenges of a life fearlessly.
I sometimes wonder if Nelson Mandela’s definition of Courage was written keeping my mother in mind. He said, “Courage is not the absence of fear but to triumph over it”. A brave person is not someone who does not experience fear but the one who conquers fear. I have learnt from my mother that Courage need not be as huge as sacrificing one’s life for the nation; not everyone can be that courageous.
Courage could be as simple as being honest, loyal to one’s friend, standing up for the truth and fearlessly facing day to day challenges that life imposes on us.
My uncle is hydrophobic, and he doesn’t even go near a pool. One summer evening, we were driving along the banks of river Hooghly in Kolkata. It was a hot and wet summer evening. My father parked the car near the banks to enjoy the cool breeze. All of a sudden, we could hear a strange noise. It seemed that someone was wailing. We saw a tiny brown puppy stuck in the mud near the river when we went near. The mother dog tried to rescue it but couldn’t, wailing helplessly. We did not know what to do. To all or surprise, my uncle jumped in the muddy river and rescued the little pup and brought it back to its mother. We were all astonished. A person with fear for water had actually shown the courage and had gone against his fears to save the little pup. Courage gives the person the strength to fight against his mental weakness and do something good.
We should be courageous and use it for helping others and for doing good to society.
I am Samruddhi Patankar from grade 2; I would like to share my short life stories of courage.
I needed courage when I was only 5 yrs old to speak on the stage but, then my parents gave me courage by encouraging me, I did it. 👧🏻
When I was going to school 🏫 for my meet-and-greet session, I needed courage because I would meet my teacher that time; I got it from myself.
I often got scared by something that I didn’t even know, but I always told my teacher. She always gave me the courage, from now I see something scarier I don’t get scared. From then I have realized what courage means.
Courage allows you to attempt things that you have not tried before. It takes courage to admit and say sorry when you are wrong. Courage is mental or moral strength to withstand danger, fear or difficulty. In short, courage means to say I have to do it, I will do it.
Courage makes us believe in ourselves. Let me share my experience. I had a toothache. It was paining so severely that I could not eat or drink anything. But I was afraid of visiting Dentist. My parents forced me to see the Dentist. I went to Doctor and saw the Dental Chair, and I ran out and started crying. Then my parents told me that there was nothing to worry about and not hurt me. I told myself nothing to worry about and everything would be fine. You are brave and strong. You can do it. Somehow I managed to build up mental courage and got my dental treatment done,
Now, I am not afraid of any Doctor and their treatment. I know they will take good care of me. So, this is how I overcame my fear of visiting a Dentist.
Courage also means thinking positively.
unpleasant. You can swim in oceans, climb up mountains or go to
space. But the main point is that not everybody dares to do
that. Everybody wants comfort. You can choose courage or
comfort, but you can’t choose both.
So, let me share a self-composed poem that could inspire everyone reading.
THIS IS COURAGE
YOU CAN USE IT AT ANY AGE
WHETHER YOU ARE A SIMPLE MAN OR A SAGE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS COURAGE
IF YOU ARE A CHILD
NOT EVEN TEN
AND SEE YOUR FRIEND GOING
INTO A DANGEROUS-LOOKING DEN
DO NOT RUN AWAY
AND QUICKLY GO AND SAY
YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY
NOW COME WITH ME AND PLAY
IT WILL SAVE THE BOY
FROM GETTING EATEN BY A LEONINE
IF HE JUST SAYS THANK YOU
THAT IS ALSO FINE
YOU HELPED THE BOY
HE WILL RETURN THE FAVOUR TO YOU AT ANY AGE
YOU HELPED THE BOY FEARLESSLY
THIS IS CALLED COURAGE
Courage means to face and overcome your fears. Being courageous doesn't mean having no worries but means overcoming them. People may have concerns like Acrophobia, Arachnophobia etc., but a brave person will fight it and go on.
Being courageous will help build your confidence because you won't be afraid of scary things and will prevent nervousness. It will also help you push away obstacles coming into your way and keep yourself calm to find your way out of certain situations and face them.
Courageous people are respected by all. One of the best examples is the Defense forces like army, navy, air force etc. They work for our defence no matter how fearful and dangerous the situation is. They never let their fears get to them, and that's why they leave a mark in other people's life. So, be courageous, be fearless, and you will indeed find success.

It was the year 2019. I had gone on a holiday with my family to Pali, where we stayed at a weekend home. On a lazy Sunday morning, Dad & I were playing in the kids' pool. I don't know how to swim, but I always liked playing in the water. It's always great fun to splash onto the water and create waves with our hands. However, who knew, that such a fun morning could end with a horror story. While playing in the pool, I slipped and fell face-first into the water. My head was UNDERWATER! I couldn't breathe and panicked. I couldn't move. It's only because my dad pulled me up that I could breathe again, albeit with great difficulty (because of the water in my nose!)
Fast forward to 2021, my parents planned the same trip this weekend & to the same place. And guess what? My mom & dad said to me this morning, "We are going to play in the pool." And this time, it was going to be the regular swimming pool and not the kids' pool. I was petrified! I tried to convince mom not to take me to the pool, but she said, "You need to learn swimming. Getting into the water is the first step.".
I was nervous, but the minute I went back into the water, I slowly started enjoying the pool like old times. And my mom taught me to hold my breath and put my head underwater for a few seconds. My immediate reaction was, "No!". But I knew mom was right. I had to stop being afraid at some point. I tried going underneath the water, and I could finally do it! I was able to put my head underwater and come out safely!
It may be a tiny thing, but for me, it was a big step to overcome my fear of water. I am not afraid of the pool anymore. I am not afraid of getting drowned too. I played in the pool for another hour, and I was able to enjoy every minute of it. This is my little story of courage.
