The latest Pixar movie is about a rebellious princess who has to learn the true meaning of bravery in order to save her kingdom. Some forms of bravery, like skydiving, require a lot of daring. Other forms of bravery are more everyday but still take lots of courage. It’s good to be aware of your own level of internal bravery, so you can rise to the challenge when the situation arises.

I think about bravery like Devan. I really think that the true bravery is kind of different from what we normally think. On the article above they call it “a smaller type of bravery”.


For example, I hate people that isn’t the enough brave for showing themselves just how they are. Can you understand me?, ‘cause I don’t know if I’m explaining it very good. Some persons aren’t valiant at the time of introducing themselves to the rest of the world. May be is the society, and they have fear of the posibility of not fitting in it. I think the most brave persons are the ones who say: I am like this, and I don’t mind it at all.


On the other hand, the Brave film was fascinating for me! The landscapes, the story, the scotish music… I think the director as well as the artists did a fantastic work.

When there’s a goal, bravery means everything. When there’s not, you’re not brave enogh to be brave.

The meaning of bravery to me is you face up all steps of the life, you go ahead to reach your dreams without scares, without afraid, without think about go back.


I’ve done many good things for my life, I think live alone, when I got a job out my old town was the biggest one. I let my family, boyfriend, friends and some old dreams to achive a new one.


when I let my state and acrossed my country to live with my husband and try again all the things that I already had done.


And others internal things that I can remember and be proud.

The movie was fantastic. And I liked that little brave princess very much.. Actually, while watching that movie, I wished I had been her :D.. I know I’m fanciful xD 


Bravery is doing something you fear, it’s just about confronting your fears, worries.. It’s not just skydiving or this stuff.. You can be brave by taking brave decisions or taking daring steps to do something you fear doing… 


Telling your boss that he’s unfair man, is regarded a brave step :D

bravery means u did sth takes a lot of courage , and not so many ppl is brave enough to do . i did many brave things , like going to a new city even have a new life and  a language barrier to get over with . one of the bravery things i like most is the first time i feel the need to stand up for myself without my family’s help . i was living in a small town of china , and ppl are not very nice , all they are doing is judging , digging dirties , gossiping , making up stories about other ppl , and it’s common to bulling the weaker group(include kids , physical disabled , mental challenged ,and the poor), i guess thats why i seldom miss there after leaving it , i hate china a lot for many reasons .okay… i am gonna stop there , didn’t mean to vent all my past  unhappy childhood experiences .and get back to the lesson. _ it was beginning from a wicked neighbor who is  always trying to rush it into me and my mom’s face with her sily opinions. so that day i walked straight to her door and gave her a good talking to in front of many ppl , (come on , with all the eduation in school , how can i not beat anyone in words ), from then , she just leave me alone.

Ok, I think bravery is a gift inside of each person to be used. We just need experiencies to wake up and to be brave when we have difficult situations on life. It is an internal energy that help us to improve our leaves.
