There are many different types of courage. Personal courage is one of them. Personal courage is having faith in yourself, and being in the positive side of everything, even anything as bad as having no arms or legs. As like Nick Vujicic, he thinks 'if one glass only has water halfway up, think it as half full, not half empty! Having faith in yourself is really important. As a saying quotes: 'If you think you can't, you won't.' Always thinking you can't do something won't get you anywhere. Although you may not be good at that certain aspect, being on the positive side will give you a much more better outcome. Overcoming obstacles is part of personal courage, whether big or small. If you enter my biography page, you will find someone who is an example of overcoming obstacles in life. (Shirin Ebadi)

Another type of courage is community courage, which is having courage in a community. For example, to be able to stand up for yourself and others, or help and rescue someone who is part of your community. The Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz sets an example opposite to Community Courage. He is proud and boastful. He looks strong on the outside, but inside he is nothing but a weakling. Nelson Mandela shows man, many types of courage. You can find about him in detail at the bottom of my page.

There is also courage from love. A great example comes from Rick and Dick Hoyts. Although Rick is physically disabled, he may not be mentally disabled. He has things going on in his brain. Once the family recieved the machine which enabled Rick to talk, Rick could finally tell his parents what he wanted, for instance: Running a marathon and competing in triathlons. At first, Dick doubted his ability. But still, he tried. This is also a form of personal courage:To have the faith in yourself. In Rick's first race, the charity run. Dick was sore for weeks. But still, he continued racing, for the pleasure of seeing Rick's canteloupe smile. He may be sore for weeks, but he didn't give up. What courage! But it is not only Dick who has shown courage. Dick is only lending his arms and legs, yet Rick is the one competing, achieving his goals, showing personal courage. He has proven to the people his ability, and has ignored all the negative comments about not being able to do anything. You can see what he has achieved He has graduated from college, completed about 212 triathlons and raced many many marathons. From all this good shape Dick has gained, Rick has also saved his father's life when he had 95% of one of his heart ateries blocked. Rick had given him an extra 15 yrs of life. What great couples!

How would you feel when you were told that your beloved family member was going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life and not to care about him? It must show great courage to say no to put him in an institution. I would also like you to listen carefully to the lyrics of this song, and go an extra mile with what you do.
