One line that caught my eye was:
According to these researchers, the difference between courage and fearlessness is the aspect of feeling the fear and doing it anyway.I guess that's like that time on the 737 when every muscle in my body was screaming at me to run when I was at the front of the queue, but I just told the toilet door to "stop looking at me like that" (yes, I actually did mutter that under my breath), went into the dreaded toilet cubicle once it was vacant, locked the door, did my business and FLUSHED THE DAMN THING.
yay!
ReplyDeleteI've seen that in many books. Not the flushing of the aeroplane toilet (that would be wierd), but the "Courage isn't the absence of fear; It's the acknowledgement of that fear, and still having the will to act despite being afraid."
