4:Throughout
our lives, we faced with choices: choices in schools, in careers, in personal
and community life. Sometimes the decision is clear, and we can look ahead
optimistically and say,“I hope that everything will work
out.”At other times, the decision is not clear, and we
find ourselves repealing,“I wish I knew what to do. I
wish I had the answer.”We go to the others for advice,
asking those around us,“What would you do if you were
in my position?”and we ask ourselves,“What if I did this or I did that?”
5:Eventually
we make the choice. Some are good choices, and some are bad choices. Some
choices bring happiness and satisfaction while others bring regrets:“I wish I hadn’t done that.”“If I had known
better, I would never have done that.”Living with a
good choice is easy, but living with a bad choice can be difficult. Yet as we
evaluate ourselves and our actions, each day each of us has the opportunity to
look forward or look backward, to be optimistic or to be pessimistic. We can
live with hopes and dreams, or we can live with wishes and regrets.
6:“A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little
courage.”The definition of courage given by Webster is“that quality of mind which enables men to encounter danger and difficulties
with firmness or without fear.”We would rather say that
courage does not consist in feeling no fear, but in conquering fear. The wise
and the active conquer difficulties by daring to attempt them. The lazy and the
foolish shiver and sicken at the sight of trial and hazard, and create the very
in impossibility they fear.
7:Genuine
courage is based on something more than animal strength. It is neither rash nor
selfish. We should discourage the tendency to exalt mere brute force; we should
enforce the power of mind, ideas, and lofty admiration. The noblest phase of
courage and heroism is in the submission of this might to the laws of right and
helpfulness. The courageous man is a real helper in the work of the world’s
advancement, his influence is magnetic. He creates an epidemic of nobleness.
