My second quote for my new blog is by a woman named Corra Harris who was famous in the early twentieth century. She lived in Georgia, and wrote hundreds of essays and made thousands of book reviews. She was born in eighteen sixty-nine and died in ninteen thirty-five. Within the time she married a man named Lundy Harris and had three children, Faith Harris was the only one to survive past infancy, but later died in nineteen-nineteen. Corra outlived her daughter by sixteen years. Corra's quote that I have found says, "The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly."
first we must decide what this quote means. I think it means that for the people that are not as brave as others, should fake it and act upon it, so appear to be brave. To me this is not that meaningful of a quote, because I know that I am brave, but to those of you that are not brave out there, you might want to take some of this advice. Some important situations that would help you under these circumstances are, if you might be about to get into a fight, you would definetly want to seem brave there. Or to fake being brave before you give a speech so your not so nervous. I know these are easier said then done, but it could help. One more thing that I just started thinking about. How do you act brave, and not be brave. I guess an example is in the movies, when theres always the big tough guy around, and when the group of people have a big problem on their hands, this "big tough guy" runs and hides out of fear. Sounds pretty logical to me. But to me I would not take this advice, because you don't want someone to depend on you thinking your brave when your really not, so if your standing there watching them get beaten in a fight, they will know that person will come to their aid, not be selfish and run for their lives.
