(德育 | 新高考5年7考)[2025华中师大一附中高二上检测] Courage is a huge theme in my life, and a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of "courage" is "cor", the Latin word, which means "heart". In the beginning, courage meant "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart". While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions for rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
"You know," one of them said, looking at my daughter, "I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too." "Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you," the other added. "It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling all right. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow."
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we show courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
