Courage

Courage is not about fearlessness, it is about acting with integrity in the face of fear.

This came to me after watching the interview between Bill Moyers and Greg Mortenson. Mr. Mortenson exhibits a peace and enlightenment not unlike what one could see in Mandella and ML King. He talked about getting up the courage to act in the interview. His courage should not be confused with fearlessness. Courage is about acting in the face of fear - there can be a complete selflessness to real courage.-p.a.2010-01-16

Mr. Mortenson wrote Three Cups of Tea about his journey that led him to build girls schools in Afghanistan.
