courage n confidence stemout of righteousness
Answers
Answer:
A bold horse and a bold rider; certainly a desirable combination for almost any riding activity. But what makes a horse—or rider—bold? To answer that question, first we have to define boldness. Many people equate boldness with courage, but it might also be defined as confidence, and there is a big difference between these two definitions.
Courage means keeping on even when you are scared. Soldiers in battle have courage—when people are shooting at you, you are scared, but a courageous soldier keeps fighting.
Confidence means not being scared, because you know you can deal with the problem successfully, so there is nothing to be scared about. Courage to a certain extent is inborn. Some people are just naturally braver than others. But courage can be increased by increasing confidence. If you have jumped lots and lots of small fences successfully so that you are fully confident of your ability to jump small fences, you can probably find enough courage to jump a bigger fence even if you are not a particularly courageous person. Then, when you conquer the larger fence successfully, your confidence and thus your courage are increased again.
