“Fortune favors the braves” the 
phrase means: you will have good luck if you carry out your plans brashly.
Fortune is sense like luck. This is saying “good luck comes to those who are 
afraid to step forward and look for it”. Although the grace of God and 
sanctifications of elders brings accomplishments, a hardworking and a sincere 
person gets the co-operation and co-ordination of all due to his braver. Fortune 
or destiny smiles at him because of his determination to achieve the goal.
Fortune favors the braves is a harsh reality which everybody have to accept that 
God rewards those who try and give proper consideration to their decision. 
Trials and obstacles are present in everybody’s life that creates fear in 
someone’s life and on the other hand, develops courage in other’s that creates 
boldness in him to face the realities of life. Actually when a person loses his 
confidence under a fear of failure then he doesn’t try to compete with any 
problem.
Bravery is a quality of life; it must be present in every one of us especially 
in youth because they have to strive with the world. If one helps himself or 
herself by putting all his efforts with courage he will be rewarded. Thus, keep 
going each step may get harder but don’t stop, the view at the top is beautiful. 
It is rightly said that luck matters a lot but this luck can’t come without 
courage and hard work so; success is not just a gift which everybody gets, for 
this a lot of hard work is needed. One has to follow these words “try, try and 
try till the goal is attained”. Luck has always supported those who dare to set 
a new tradition in the history of the world. Only those people get positions 
that move against the flow of a stream, not who swims with the flow.
If we look through the history we come to know that all great personalities and 
heroes became famous because of their bravery and determination. They did not 
care about failures but trusted their abilities. Luck also favors such heroes. 
There are many such examples but a few are as follows.
Everybody knows about the life of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). He (SAW) faced many

life we see that hardworking student always gets success.
Hundreds of people changed the history of the world by their bravery, leadership 
qualities and courage that’s why fortune favored them in their mission of 
success. These qualities need to be provoked in the young generation. Encourage 
people who are talented but scare to show their talent in front of the world.
