Bravery: Emerson, Captain America, and a Cadet’s Heroism
What does it really mean to be brave? Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote: “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”
In this episode of Daily Morningcast, we explore how bravery isn’t about fearlessness—it’s about persistence. From Steve Rogers standing up to bullies in Captain America: The First Avenger to the real-life heroism of West Point cadet Larry Pickett Jr., who rescued a man from a burning car, we see that courage is available to each of us.
Bravery is the choice to hold on, speak up, or stand tall—just five minutes longer.
