Courageous and Humble You Can
| QUOTE |
hum·ble Audio pronunciation of "humble" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hmbl) adj. hum·bler, hum·blest 1. Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful. 2. Showing deferential or submissive respect: a humble apology. 3. Low in rank, quality, or station; unpretentious or lowly: a humble cottage. |

Courageous adj : possessing or displaying courage; able to face and deal with danger or fear without flinching; "Familiarity with danger makes a brave man braver but less daring"- Herman Melville; "a frank courageous heart...triumphed over pain"- William Wordsworth; "set a courageous example by leading them safely into and out of enemy-held territory" |
I don't see how one precludes the other. How do humility come into play when facing danger and fear? I don't think these two really have anything to do with each other at all, and definitely are not mutually exclusive.
