“The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity”
— Earl Nightingale

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that in society, the real challenge isn't being afraid but just going along with what everyone else is doing. When people conform, they lose their individuality and stop thinking for themselves. For example, in school, if everyone decides to pick on one student, it takes real bravery to stand up and say it's wrong instead of just joining in. Being brave means making your own decisions and sticking to what's right, even if it's different from the crowd. By choosing your path and not just following others, you show true courage. Applying this to life, when you have opinions or beliefs, it's important not to just agree with others because it's easier, but to stand firm in what you think is right.
