    “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”(Mahatma Gandhi). When you have the will to do something or you feel strong enough to accomplish something you do not need physical strength. An example of this is when Gandhi had his biggest protest in 1930. He led over thousands of Indians on an over 200 mile march to a town on the coast. The reason they did this is to stand up to the British which had a monopoly on salt. 60,000 people were arrested including Gandhi which shows even though they weren’t strong enough to stand against the law they still achieved their goal of protesting the salt monopoly. Chris also has similar quote to Gandhi’s and that quote is “It’s not important, in life to be strong…. but to feel strong”(Chris McCandless).

    The next theory is strength based practices. This theory helps emphasize an individual’s determinations and personal strengths. As an outdoor instructor, it is the idea of focusing your attention on the strengths rather than the weaknesses of an individual. The concept of strength based practices was formed by a social worker named Bertha Reynolds and the theory was then officially founded by a team including Dennis Saleebey, Charles Rapp, and Anne Weick at the University of Kansas. They all have social work backgrounds and worked together to form a theory on the support of different people’s strengths instead of focusing in on the problems. “A strength-based approach consists of questioning strategies that attempt to identify ‘what works’ for the child and ‘how it works’ so that those strategies can be continued and developed to match the child’s abilities” (Strength- Based Approach, 2011).

  • Courage Definition Essay

    856 Words  | 2 Pages

    I like to describe them as “loud” and “quiet” courage. People today do perform courageous acts on a daily basis but how they do them really proves who they are. Loud courage is when someone only does something courageous for personal gain, they do these things only when others are watching so that they can receive praise. Quiet courage is the opposite of that; when a person acts solely on their intention to do good and benefit others. That is the type of courage that we need today. Although these are forms of courage, there is much more to the word. Courage can be kindness, taking the lead, voicing an opinion, really anything that may be difficult or challenging to do. Every now and then a person is faced with a challenge or a complicated problem that they are fearful of and can even harm them either emotionally or physically, but a true man or woman that has courage will overcome this obstacle to pursue their inhibitions. Just like in the movie The Wizard of Oz, the lion is supposed to be the king of the jungle but is easily scared of every little thing that comes his way even though it would just be a tree or his shadow. At the end of the movie, when they find out the Wizard is a fraud, he realizes that he was courageous the whole time because of everything he did to get to the Emerald City. So being confident can play a huge role when in it comes to courage. Courage can come in all shapes and sizes but it is
