I was listening to a book by Lisa Scottoline named Killer Smile, and a woman in her seventies told a woman in her late 20s or early 30s to be brave.
“I don’t know if I can be brave,” the younger woman replied.
“Don’t worry about that,” the older woman said. “If you can’t be brave, just be determined. And you’ll end up in the same place.”
That struck me as smart. I’ve often thought that I don’t know what brave is, but we all know what it is to be determined.
