Cowards die many time before their deaths

The proverb can be explained that a coward is afraid of anything and everything. However a brave person is not afraid of any dangers and perils. This statement is found in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar', Caesar stated that cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant would never taste death but once.                                                                                

The proverb explains the fact that cowards are afraid of death and they experience the pain of death whenever they think of death and whenever they face any danger or crisis in life. Cowards fear for one or the other reason. They dread on seeing some mishap or accident, they even dread to meet a distinguished person.  A coward runs away from any danger. Cowards are so frightened to be in the dark. They dread seeing a fight or murder. They are afraid of some spooky creatures. They are afraid of so many things and instances. Being a coward  is a characteristic found within a person. It is built in a person from childhood.  Such persons normally seek others help to get their work done.

A brave person on the other hand faces any danger without fear and faces it boldly. Fearlessness is a characteristic quality of a great hero. A small story will amplify this point. Captain Nelson, a young lad  was sitting alone one night upon a hill. His mother asked him "have you no fear?" he replied, "Mother, what is fear?" from childhood, he did not know what fear was. The brave are so from childhood.

The proverb thus signifies  that cowards die many times as they are so scared. The brave will face death only once that is the real death.  We should imbibe in young children from childhood to be brave and bold and not be cowards. Such brave persons are valued in society and have high regards and reach great heights and positions in life.
