"Courage" by J. M. Barrie is a stirring speech given to university students in the wake of World War I, highlighting the vital role of courage in confronting life’s hardships. Barrie uses his own life experiences to encourage young people to step up and take responsibility for the future, rather than blindly accepting the status quo and mistakes of past generations. He challenges them to not only show bravery in difficult times but also to actively pursue truth and make meaningful connections with others as they grow into adults, becoming a force for change in the world. Through stories and thoughtful reflections, Barrie argues that courage is the key virtue that the youth need to actively form their futures.
