"Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it." —Mark Twain
Most times people don't know what you are capable of. They don't really know your potentials. They see only what you present. I don't blame them because they don't know how much you know yourself. You can keep them in the dark by not proving yourself when they say you can not do a thing. Let them see you doing it and they will acknowledge you.
It takes courage to execute your plans. It takes courage to be bold.
Be courageous and always know you better than others know you.
