Courage is essential in times of adversity from "summary" of Tirukkural by Tamil Poet Tiruvalluvar

Courage is like a sturdy ship that navigates through the stormy seas of adversity. Just as a ship needs a strong hull to withstand the raging waves, a person needs courage to face the challenges that come their way. Adversity tests the limits of our strength and resilience, and it is only through courage that we can emerge victorious. In times of adversity, when the winds of despair threaten to blow us off course, it is our courage that keeps us grounded. Like a beacon in the darkness, courage guides us through the turbulent waters, giving us the strength to persevere. Without courage, we would be like a ship without a rudder, lost and adrift in the vast expanse of challenges that life presents. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to face fear head-on. It is the inner fire that burns bright even in the darkest of times, lighting the way forward. While others may falter in the face of adversity, those with courage stand tall, unafraid to confront the obstacles that stand in their way. In the words of Tiruvalluvar, "When your courage is tested, let it be like the strong oak tree that bends but does not break in the face of the storm." This ancient wisdom reminds us that courage is not a fleeting emotion, but a steadfast resolve to overcome all odds. It is the foundation upon which great achievements are built, the cornerstone of resilience in the face of adversity.
