Chapter 52 Superficial courage is not the same as real courage

story one A boy was newly transferred to a sixth-grade class at a California school.The boy was from Arkansas, and he believed in the New Testament. The New Testament was frowned upon in this part of California, but the boy carried it to school in his pocket. This matter was known by others, and no child would care about him.And look down on him, laugh at him, bully him. Once, some boys stopped him, and they took out his New Testament and said: Don't bring the Bible to school again!Religion and prayer are for cowards, and you are a coward. The boy reverently handed the Bible to the oldest of the few boys, and said to him: "See if you have the guts, take it to school and walk around the campus!"Those children were silent, they had nothing to say.

And this little boy dared to bring the Bible to school, dared to face those boys without fear, this kind of courage made them admire, and finally won their friendship. story two There was a very timid person who dared not do anything since he was a child, so his classmates laughed at him. His parents were also worried about his timidity, so they let him join the army in order to train him and have courage. In the army, he was still timid and often laughed at by his comrades. Later, he was admitted to the military academy, but he was still timid in the military academy. The classmates not only laughed at him, but often teased him to make a fool of himself, and even the instructors looked down on him.

Once, the school arranged for them to conduct live grenade throwing training. In order to make him look ugly, a classmate took a simulated grenade and secretly told everyone. The training started, and the student accidentally threw the simulated grenade among the students. He pretended to be nervous and yelled to be careful. The other students knew the truth, so they acted together, pretending to be panicked. The timid classmate was also panicked. He didn't know that everyone wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but people didn't expect that he jumped at the grenade and pressed it under his body.

The students were shocked and stood there dumbfounded, not because of the fake grenade, but because of his actions. After a long time, when he realized that this was another prank by his classmates, he got up blushing, embarrassed to look at everyone. At this time, all the classmates and instructors applauded warmly for him.Not only is he not a coward, but he is a hero who dares to take responsibility. His image changed immediately in the eyes of his classmates. ★Life is delicious★ People's understanding of courage has always had blind spots. In fact, many behaviors that people usually talk about, such as being bold and daring to do something, are not real courage.True courage is the calmness, wisdom, and fearless spirit of challenge and sacrifice shown at critical moments. Just as Su Dongpo summed up, the great courage is that everyone sees humiliation, draws a sword, and stands up to fight. This is not enough for courage. The brave man is not surprised when he suddenly faces it, and he is not angry when he is attacked for no reason.Therefore, the hostages are very large, and their ambitions are very far-reaching.
