“There were all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first, ranging from grizzly bears to mean horses and gunfighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
When we face things that scare us, like dangerous animals or tough people, pretending not to be scared can help us feel braver over time. It's like when a child is afraid of the dark but pretends not to be. Eventually, they get used to it and their fear goes away. For example, if someone is scared of speaking in public, they might act confident even if they're nervous. By doing this often, they'll start to feel less frightened and more comfortable. This approach can help anyone tackle their fears and become more courageous in different situations.بن
