“A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplified Meaning:
Courage is something everyone can have, but a hero stays strong just a little bit longer. Think of a firefighter running into a burning building. Most people would be scared and might only be brave enough to get close. But the firefighter pushes past that fear for a few extra moments to save someone. It's those few extra moments of bravery that make the difference. Anyone can have moments of fearlessness, but it’s the ability to keep going, even when it’s scary, that turns someone into a hero. If you find yourself in a tough situation, try to stay calm and strong just a bit longer; it might make all the difference.
