It\nwas first used in play by Terence and in Latin the same is known as \u201cFortis\nFortuns Adiuat\u201d. The greatest heights in life are attained by those who are\ndaring to get these. Success is not a free gift that falls into anyone\u2019s lap if\nhe\/she just wishes for it. He\/she must work hard and be courageous enough to\nface and overcome the danger if he\/she wants to succeed. What we call fortune\nor good luck is nothing but a matter of persistence and hard work. The great\ndiscoverers of the world would never have succeeded, if they had not ventured\nforth into the unknown, regardless of any perils that had been confronted by\nthem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bravery\nis not confined just to soldiers or defence personnel, but it is a dynamic\nquality within an individual, which decides nature and character of an\nindividual. To remain in constant struggle for betterment of livelihood and for\nthe overall progress and prosperity is also a great sign of bravery. For example,\nan artist faces the stage fright and nervousness during his first performance,\nbut it is his bravery and unfaltering determination in those movements which\nbring him laurels and the popularity to go on and achieve great heights in\nlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\ngives life to every human being and every person has to live the same. If\nsomeone shows bravery in performing some great deed, then God showers grace on\nhim and he hits the required targets. The perception and confidence in an\nindividual are very essential things which help him in achieving his goals.\nBesides constant efforts, enthusiasm and objectivity towards life makes one\nclimb the ladder of success and lead to one of the topmost positions in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nis a natural instinct in life that every human being wants to succeed and be a\nrole model for others. But due to some factor individuals fail in the\nsame.&nbsp; Now it is important to understand\nwhat success is and also why individuals strive for the same. Success is an\nongoing attainment of desired results concerning actions, life, business,\nwealth etc. Success is the desire soaked with emotions, powered by passion,\ndriven by destiny and forged with the fire of the heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nrewards that one gets in life are usually the result of one\u2019s efforts. No man\ncan hope to have an easy life and at the same time expect one\u2019s life to be a\nsuccessful and astonishing. Only intelligent efforts can achieve, when\nchannelled in the right direction. Had success been easy, every individual\nwould have achieved it. It is necessary to work hard and achieve success\nbecause there is no substitute for hard work. At the same time, there should be\na noble goal guiding our efforts. We must have a clear cut idea about our aim\nin life and should strive constantly, work for the same and achieve it. To\nprogress and prosper one has to be bold enough to cross the hurdles in the path\nof destination. Our brain can think and act about great missions but it is the\nboldness and decisions taken which play a key role in achieving success. It is\nrightly said for success a human being needs 1% inspiration and 99%\nperspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nearly attempts towards success are the hardest and difficult outcomes are\nexpected in the same. During this phase, an individual must know how much to\nwork, the manner in which same is done and also remember that nothing can do\naway with failure in life which helps him in achieving success. In the ordinary\nbusiness of life, an individual can do anything which a genius can do. Being\ngenius is nothing but continuously or consistently making efforts despite\nfacing a thousand failures. There is no gain without taking the risk and\ncourage is the backbone of ability and boldness which make an individual more\ninclined towards success. It acts like a catalyst which helps an individual\ntowards reaping success in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courageous\nattitude comes from the straight mind and is most crucial and significant tenet\nof an individual\u2019s behaviour. It helps in tapping one\u2019s own potential, thus\nenabling one to acquire desired results for the goals that have to be attained\nby him. If an individual courage is shallow or superficial, his morale and\nfaith also will be lacking in firmness and depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faith\nwithout courage is like a tree without fruits, which is barren, sterile and\nstagnant. If we have indomitable, unassailable and rock-like courage in\nourselves, no one can stop us from attaining our desired goal in life. It is\naptly said, \u201cYou can do anything and everything with courage, but without the\nsame you cannot do anything in life\u201d. Courage rules the world and thought of\nour life. It is our mind which moulds the destiny. The so-called mind is\nnothing but a bundle of thoughts, which gradually acquires the form of faith\ndepending on our power and psychology. In short, it can be said that courage\nmakes failure a pillar of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nwe look into lives of successful people, we can easily find out that their\nsuccess is the result of their never-say- die attitude. Had it not been the\nability of Mahatma Gandhi of combining the boldness and courage of the people\nof India, we would not have attained freedom from the imperial rule. Yuvraj\nSingh, the veteran cricketer, was diagnosed with a serious cancer tumour in his\nleft lung. Had he gone weak, he would have lost his battle against this deadly\ndisease. He had all the abilities of a good cricketer but this weakness would\nhave separated him from the game forever. It was his boldness and courage that\ninspired him not only to fight against this disease but also become one of the\nleading voice against the cancer awareness.&nbsp;\nThe above-mentioned example shows that courage is all about what you\nbelieve in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nis an African saying : \u201cIf you want to go fast go alone; if you want to go far\nalways go together\u201d. The classic example in this regard was the successful team\ncreated by the software giant Infosys. It was a great team which was known for\nhard work and commitment and also stood as a leading example of how an\nindividual should develop in life right from the scratch.&nbsp; Sometimes success is not just related to a\nsingle individual but to a group of people too and with the team effort led by\na single leader has sometimes led to great fortunes. The classic examples in\nthis regard were Michael Jordan winning the N.B.A. Championship and M.S. Dhoni\nwinning the ICC Cricket World Cup for India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-control,\noptimistic approach and openness to feeling all are the forms of valour and\ncourage. To lead somebody in the right path, to raise the standard of people\nsurrounding you to and present a moral example \u2014 are all the forms of bravery. These\nfeatures not only make a person shine as a star but also ensures that others\nmay be led by way of perfect example. To learn from the mistakes is the most\nsignificant virtue which saves a person from fault and failure. Thus improving\n\u201cthyself\u201d is the philosophy and key to success. One must not forget that\nvictory comes by cultivating within oneself all the required traits of success\nand it is also an act of bravery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nconcepts of Green Revolution, Industrial Revolution, and other economic, social\nrevolutions are all the result of bravery and have had great results for the\nsociety at large. Today, we live in an era of globalisation but it is millions\nof courageous and innovative steps which have helped it materialise. In the\npresent-day situation the legislature, the executive and the judiciary have\nalso added to the faith of people and preserved harmony in the society by\ntaking courageous and bold steps which are greatly helpful for the society at\nlarge. \n\nTo conclude, fortune always favours the brave. The key in this regard\nlies in the journey made by an individual or group of people towards achieving\na goal. As it has been said, a boat cannot reach the shore if it surrenders in\nthe middle, and a student also cannot pass the examination without writing\nanything in the answer paper. Similarly, with&nbsp;\nhard work, dedication, perseverance, the destiny can be well achieved by\nan individual and it should also ensure that guidance is also received in a\nproper way which helps an individual to achieve desired results. Learning from\nmistakes is also a key which shapes the character of an individual, group of\npeople or organisation. No doubt that road to success is a difficult path and\nthe same cannot be achieved easily, but the same is also not possible. The surest\nway is to turn your destiny according to your wish; to determine an aim and\nwork hard sincerely with courage to attain it.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSuccess is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts\u201d. \u2014Winston Churchill \u201cFortune favours the brave\u201d is a Latin proverb traditionally attributed to Terence.
