HAPPY MASHUJAA DAY

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid but he who conquers that fear. A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. Dreams are not those that come to us while we are sleeping but dreams are those that we don’t sleep before fulfilling them.

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right. Courage is grace under pressure. Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears. 

Great men are meteors designed to burn so that earth may be lighted. If I can take it, I can make it.
