One cowardly （胆小的） man came to a master of martial arts and wanted the master to teach him bravery. The master looked at him and said, “I won’t teach you unless you agree to do this: go and live in a big city for a whole month. You should look straight into the eyes of those who pass by you, and tell them openly and loudly that you are a coward.”
The man got really sad because this task seemed very scary to him. For a couple of days he was very sad and in deep thought. But to live with his cowardice was so unbearable that he travelled to a city to carry out his task.

At first, when meeting the passers-by, he was afraid, lost his speech and couldn’t speak to anyone. But he needed to finish the master’s task, so he began to fight against himself. When he came up to his first passer-by to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But each time, his voice sounded louder and more confident. And later the man caught himself thinking that he was not scared any more, and the further he continued doing the master’s task, the more he believed that he was not scared any more. That way a month had passed. The man came back to the master, bowed to him and said, “Thank you, my teacher. I finished your task. Now I’m not scared any more. But how did you know that this strange task will help me?”

“The thing is that cowardice is only a habit,” the teacher said. And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the old habit and form a new habit. And now you know that bravery is also a habit. And to make it a part of yourself, you need to move forward into the fear. And then the fear will be gone, and bravery will take its place.”
