Worth Noting:
- In a class there are students who are not afraid to ask questions in areas they fail to understand. It is true that some of the concepts they ask about may look simple to other students and that everyone present know that they have not understood that becoming the reason as to why he has asked the question but he will eventually understand once his questions are responded to and become equally knowledgeable like those who understood the concepts in the previous teachings.
- If he fail to understand but chose to remain silent for the rest of the class not to know or joke of his weakness perhaps he could end up failing in exam or struggling alone trying to figure out how the concept should be.
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently …………… Maya Angelou
As human beings we have various ways of understanding and presenting information just like our huge numbers. Everyone has own thinking as per how he was created and his life experiences.
Do not rush to judge someone else using your personal standards or term him as an underperformer perhaps he is also judging you using his own standards and also categorizing you the same.
Seek to know how best you can benefit from the knowledge he has or how you can help him benefit from what you have this can help make him a better person than he is in the current situation.
To achieve this you need to have courage to ask him questions on the areas you do not understand about him in doing so you may be exposing some of your weaknesses as you may not be as good as him in some areas but that should not discourage you as you will also have something to gain in the process.
A human baby does not shy from trying to repeat what his mum or anyone near them is trying to say no matter the number of people around. Many are the times his pronunciation will not be exact to what he intends and some of those around will laugh at him but that would not stop him from doing the same in fact at time he too laughs at those who are laughing at him.
This continues till he perfects the pronunciation. Had it not been courage he could give up and perhaps take long before learning to talk as others do. Not only in speaking but also in other functions like walking and sitting he imitates the rest even when unable to do it perfectly he does not shy from making a trial until he perfects on it.

In countries like Kenya as well as others around the world with increased internet connectivity and number of smart phones on rise people have set up many media platforms and you could find a lot of information about almost every aspect of life.
Some of the issues that have been pressing many people but they have been shy to talk about are being discussed and those who have been silent upon listening or viewing these discussions are coming out and airing their cases too as they have found other people courageous talking openly. Where free medical camps have been conducted and publicized you can see many people attending them yet they have not gone for such treatments in the past despite knowing that they are sick.
A visit to a new location instead of wandering for fear of asking direction you need to gain courage and ask but to a person you will trust perhaps like a policeman as you could easily identify him or any other person like him. This would save you time and increase your confidence level.
In a marriage situation or any other union when a relationship is not healthy you need to gain courage and ask the other person about what is causing dissatisfaction to them so that you could find ways to address it and make the relationship healthy. Fear to examine what is ailing it will lead to further falling apart.
In all that you do have courage, good intentions and objective and you will be able to overcome any hurdle that could be there. Take life as a learning process.
