“Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.”
⏤ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
My understanding
Starting something new can feel scary, especially when you don’t know how it’ll turn out. But that’s what courage is. It’s taking the first step even when there’s no promise you’ll succeed.
There have been times when I tried something I’d never done or took a big risk. There’s always that voice in my head asking, ‘What if it doesn’t work?’. For example this website. I do not know anything about the programming language or the framework.
Reminds me
This quote reminds me that courage isn’t about being sure. It’s about starting anyway and seeing where it takes you.
- Steve Jobs’ quote "You never achieve what you want without falling on your face a few times.". Well said. Success isn’t a straight path. It’s full of falls and failures. It’s about getting back up, wiser and more determined.
