One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

Courage(勇气) is the ability to be brave in different kinds of situations（情形） in our life. Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well. Courage may make you confident(自信) of your success. If you have courage, you won’t show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage, you may still smile even if you are badly ill and know you are at the end of your life. How can we build up our courage?

Believe that you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents(天资). Besides, your family and friends are always there for you.

Exercise your courage. It is like a muscle(肌肉). The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be.

Know that giving up is not a choice. It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong.

Fight to control your fear(害怕). Courageous people may still be afraid, but the difference is that they can control their fear. They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on.

Get courage by reading inspiring( 令人鼓舞的) stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of.
