Courage

Courage is something that everybody wants – an attitude of good character and a show of bravery that make one worthy of respect. Courage is the quality that distinguishes great leaders from excellent managers.

From the holy book to fairy tales, from ancient myths to Hollywood movies, our culture is all rich with exemplary tales of bravery and self – sacrifices for the greater good. History books also tell colourful tales of social activists, such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela who choose to speak out against injustice at great personal risk. Yet courage is not just physical bravery.

Courage is neither an intellectual quality, nor can it be taught in the classroom it can only be gained through multiple experiences involving personal risk taking. Courage comes from the heart. Courage personals feel fear but still chooses to act, stands up for what is right. Letting go of the familiar to expand his/her horizon, facing suffering with dignity and faith.

Dear co-members, we have first shown the character of courage by leaving our homes to come here to be prepared for service to our nation let us keep the fire of courage burning and serve to the end in dignity, faith and selflessness.

Be courageous.
