Not really. Most of the brave in war situations end up dead. It is not to anyone's favour to be dead. Many times the brave are not truly brave. It is those with intelligence and imagination that are truly brave in all situations as they extrapolate all that could go right or wrong and then step into situations that can destroy them in many different environments. Those with no thought of possible results of an action are really not Brave at all.

As the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Even going to school requires bravery as there is a risk of failing. I remember when I started law school, thinking that lots of students don't make it through and if I do this and I don't make it, or if I fail the bar exam, then think of all the money that I wasted when I could have been working full time and saving money and not paying for tuition and books. It was a risk I took. We started with 60 students and 10 graduated and even of those that passed the bar not all of them practiced law. I graduated and passed the bar and practiced law for five years but made very little money. I have a weakness of feeling sorry for the poor and people in trouble and this does not lead to making money in law practice. After five years I went onto something more lucrative. But I am not sorry that I took this chance because I wanted it so badly and I felt fulfilled in trying to help people in this way and in getting a handle on the concept of responsibility in law school.
After I became a widow I joined Sierra Club where I met the most adventurous risk takers that I have ever known. My, the stories some of them could tell! My husband and my parents had been boring people who did not take many risks, but loved security, so I had always thought of myself as daring. But in Sierra Club I realized that I am only average as an adventurous person and that I did not want to be completely an adventurer because to be that you have to be entirely independent and self sufficient so you can live in the wilderness by yourself if you get lost. Really I am just an armchair adventurer now, although I ride my bike daily at age 70 but I would sacrifice anything for security in a relationship. You just need to learn to weigh risk against benefit for your own self, to know when to be brave and when to be safe.

"Fortune favors the prepared mind." - Louis Pasteur
I think brave and courageous people, when they use their brains, are more likely to see far more things happen to them than those who hide away and are too scared to do anything. Things can't change for the better if you won't let anything change.

the bravery is the underpinning
the favour is a magnet
the fortune is just natural
it's the doing that is difficult
