“A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger”
— Euripides
Simplified Meaning:
When faced with a scary or difficult situation, a person who is afraid will often try to avoid it or run away. On the other hand, someone who is brave will stand up and face the challenge, even if it means taking a risk. For example, imagine a fire breaks out in a building. A coward might flee immediately to save themselves, but a brave firefighter would rush in to try and save others, despite the danger. This idea can apply to everyday life too. If you're scared to speak in public, running away from the opportunity won't help you grow. But if you face your fear and give the speech, you become stronger and more confident. Being brave means sometimes choosing the harder path, but it's often the path where you can learn and make a difference.
