Courage and Patience - Sandeep Singh

Courage is nothing but being bold and brave. Not many people have the courage to face problems.

Courage not only means being brave and bold but it also means to speak with the public bravely without any fear. Each one of us should have courage. So, it will be useful for them to do things without fear like giving a speech in front of a large mass of people, doing social services, talking to someone, etc. Hence, being shy and quiet and also nervous to do anything is not going to help you. Courage is something that is essential and very important in life.

 Courage does not mean merely physical bravery; it means also the moral strength which enables a man to do the right thing. Physical courage is good and useful, as it helps man to overcome difficulties, bear hardships, and do laborious work, but moral courage is a higher form of courage and is much nobler. A moral coward will not do the right thing because he is afraid of the ridicule of others. It is easy to say ‘yes’ to everything, but it requires a very strong mind to say ‘no,’ when one is really convinced that the thing is wrong.

Patience is a wonderful tool for solving the problem in our life. Patience means to keep on walking towards your destination. There are two similar words ‘Patience’ and ‘Patient’ but both word meanings are very different. Patience means continuously doing your work calmly and peacefully, and patient means a person who is not able to do anything. There is a little difference between patience and patience, a person who is working in an adverse condition slowly and peacefully. That person has patience but a person who is looking only for a good time is called the patient. Our life is like an insurance policy. I'm an insurance policy. We invest our money in the form of little amounts and after some years we get a lot of money. Similarly in our life, we do much work in a day like yoga, learning etc. and we are benefitted only because of patience. 

So wear the patience in your personality and keep on focusing on your destination and you will surely reach your goal. The importance of patience should be realized by every individual. Patience in life can make them reach out for the stars. With patience, you can avoid making hasty decisions. Life is not about living in the future or in the past. Life is about accepting the present moment. To achieve your dreams, you must have the zeal to overcome challenges and the power to overcome roadblocks comes only from patience.
