Motivational Quote

Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. -Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou was an American poet and civil rights activist.  She wrote seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry.  Her books focus on the topics of racism, identity, family, and travel.  Maya Angelou overcame much adversity in her life from abuse, prejudice, and discrimination.  Her quote reminds us of the importance of courage.  She says that without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently.  As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of having the courage to work toward their goals.  Having courage means not giving up because of fear of failure.  It means standing up to what you are afraid of and pursuing your goals in spite of it all.
