​THE FIRST WORD ON COURAGE​

I’ve written many poems
But not a single one
Mentions the word “courage,”
And that’s because I have none.
 
I do what I am told
By guilt and by fear,
Which are so very loud
That my voice - I can’t hear.

"It takes a lot of courage to stand up to a bully. But it takes far greater courage to stand up to our own resistance, to the bully within."
                       — Liliana Kohann

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the COURAGE to follow your heart and intuition."
                                                          — Steve Jobs
