Courage Beyond Fear

Human courage is not the absence of unyielding fear, but the ability to overcome it when another person’s destiny hangs in the balance. Imagine that moment when life was hanging by a thread—not the one endowed with physical strength or towering stature, but the person with a huge heart who chose to perform a selfless act. That is exactly what happened when a woman, without hesitation, rushed to help a worker trapped in a dangerous machine, even though surrounding men, seemingly chosen by nature for such roles, merely stood by.
