How can we build up our courage?
Believe that you will be successful.Take chances and know that you have your own talents(才能).Besides,your family and friends are always there for you.
Exercise your courage.It can be compared(比较)to a muscle(肌肉).The more we use it,the stronger courage gets.
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.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.
