Courage-高中

Courage

     Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a sorrow, overcome it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Sometimes we feel that obligations are like burden, so heavy on our back.; pressure is like the overcast sky, hanging over head; death and loss are like a dark cave, and we go deeper and deeper, hard to breathe. But on the other hand, only when we’re cornered can we be the strongest man we’ve never been before.
     Courage isn’t an impulse, motivating us to achieve things others dares not to do. That may lead you to be a criminal, a thief, or a person who be addicted to drugs.
     There’s a story. Once a monk arranged a boxing match between a child and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighter stuck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up. “What ashame,” the boy’s father said. “I never thought he could be so easily knocked down..” But the monk said: “I’m sorry that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he falls down, he stand up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you want him to have.”
     Courage is a strength that you can refresh even after a great defeat. Courage is a power that though getting hurt, but you still stand up to run. Courage is a spirit you face everything even thought knowing it’s hard to overcome.
     If each time you’re knocked down, you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud of yourself.
