Bravery refers to the mindset one takes when facing a challenge that could be dangerous or difficult.

The
task could be objectively dangerous, such as engaging in battle or driving in adverse conditions. A person could
also perceive a seemingly harmless situation as challenging, such as climbing a flight of stairs or talking to
someone they’d like to date. A brave act requires one to face and embrace the task rather than withdraw from it.

There are examples of bravery in every community. Look no farther than your local fire station or police
station to see acts of bravery. Community heroes help others in small and large ways every day, often at great
risk to their own lives. Students are brave when they stand up to a bully or present a project in front of the
whole class. Practicing small acts of bravery can prepare a person to lead a heroic life.

Bravery also means fearlessness, but it’s not a true synonym (although bystanders may believe that a
brave person acts without fear). If a task does not seem frightening in some way, it would be simple to
complete, requiring no bravery at all. Heroes who exhibit bravery often put themselves at risk to help others.
The closest synonym for bravery would be “courage.” The ability to do what’s right despite a real or perceived
threat requires strength, making “fortitude” another near-synonym for bravery.

A farmer who decides to concentrate on viable products can choose from the four general types of
plants: edible, ornamental, raw-material, or shade. Edible plants include grains like rice and corn, fruits like
santol and mango, vegetables such as pechay or cabbage, or spices like pepper. On the other hand, ornamentals
are all kinds of flowering and non-flowering plants used for decoration and landscaping. There are also plants
that provide raw materials for other products. Examples of these types are rubber, palm. Abaca, maguey, and
ramie. The coconut may also belong to this type although its fruit is edible. The last type are shade trees, grown
primarily to reforest barren areas of mountains. However, some of them are used as ornamentals. Ipil-ipil and
narra are the most common shade trees. All these types of plants can be grown profitably depending upon the
soil and climate found in the area.
