A brave person is one that runs into a burning building when everyone else is running out, or a person who faces danger everyday on their job, and when asked if they are a hero, or they are referred to as a hero, states that 'they are just doing their job'.

Fire fighters, police, etc, are all brave people who don't see themselves as a hero. As to what makes these people brave, that's hard to say, I'm a wildland fire fighter and I do it because I love what I do. I have friends that are fire fighters (sturctural, which fight building fires) and they do it because they love it, and they help people.

Hello errielle. I think maybe 'that person' doing strange things like kiss the tiger or sleep with lion or else! Isn't brave? For me nobody in this world are brave as my dad. You know why? because my father gamble his life married, having child and live with a queen of tiger(my mom) lol! HAPPY LUCKY, **prettyhanan**

yes. In fact, i also think that those who accept their faults and weaknesses are brave. They are brave enough to admit it.

Commonly, bravery is identified as doing something that could endanger your life for the sake of others. But I think you could also count the people listed in guinness world book of records as brave. The ones who would do terrfying things like eating tarantulas and cockroahes. Jumping in a very high place without getting hurt and many more. No average person can do that and in my opinion, they really have guts. ..^^..cherry

I think the brave man should can control himself .when they face the accident case and trouble ,he doesn't lose himself,then he know what he should deal with the trouble.and he can't be selfish,can like to help others.then he want to give others a hand.

A brave person is someone who fears the Lord.
