Courage under fire

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

I love this one.
Dead on. No matter what, there will always be obsticles to overcome. There will always be a bit of self doubt when things don't go right the first or second (maybe third) try. It's the courage deep within, that keeps us fighting for whatever it is we want to fight for.

What are your interpretations?

Call me Crazy. ;)

Courage is a very important attribute to have. I've been lucky, I've had it all of my life.
