Courage is the ability to control fear in a situation that might be dangerous or unpleasant. We all know that we all have some challenges; nobody in the world has a perfect life or happiness all the time. So, courage gives us hope to live and fight for ourselves.  Having courage doesn't mean we can go and hit anyone or we can do whatever we want. Courage is to have a positive energy that gives us the strength to face the challenges we have in life. 

We need courage in many aspects of life. We need the courage to accept the truth and to stand by it, whether it is in our favour or not. A person needs lots of inner strength to accept his or her own mistake in front of others. It requires courage to start again after a failure in life, it is when we feel helpless. Sometimes, we have to decide in life, which can change our lives completely, and we can't do it if we don't have the courage to face further consequences.

Having courage doesn't mean a person is fearless, it means the person is ready to face it. It helps us to start believing in ourselves. It builds confidence in us. If we want to live a respectful life with self-respect, we can't live it without courage. It also helps us to smile and be happy in difficult times. If we take an example of the soldiers, it is their courage and love for their country, which helps them stand in front of our enemy and fight with them even if they know they may die.
