Courage is the greatest thing

I could not ride a bicycle before, because I could never keep balance on the bicycle. Before I came to Singapore, I had decided to learn to ride a bicycled for many times, but I ended up with failure every time. That is because I did not dare to ride it; I was afraid that I would fall down from the bicycle. But I succeeded today. Our research group went to east coast to cycling today. At first, my friends taught me the skills to ride a bicycle. The next thing I should do is to ride the bicycle by myself, but I really did not have the courage. I always stopped after I rode for just two seconds. After 45 minutes, I told myself that "I can, I can make it." Then I thought that the worst result of riding a bicycle for more than two seconds is falling down and get some pain. I thought that if I want to be an excellent person, I should have the courage to overcome all kinds of challenges. So I just tried my best to ride the bicycle without worrying about myself, and then I really made it. From this experience, I know that courage is the greatest thing; we can do anything if we have courage.
