Without Courage There is No Virtue

To be greatly ambitious, while knowing one's limitations takes courage. The counsel of timidy is to stay low and safe rather than risk great failures. A coward avoids getting hurt. Leaders lead with bold confidence. Without courage there is no virtue.
I was fortunate to have two great sets of inspiring Grandparents. On this our nation's birthday - I can't help but think of my Grandpa Joe. He was shot serving his country in WWII's historic Battle of The Bulge - made it home to parent 6 great kids - the oldest my Mother Kathy. Grandpa Joe defined courage. I hope my children share his drive and enthusiasm for life. I will make certain they know Grandpa Joe, his enthusiasm for his country and his courage.
