Monday quote of the day by 'If' poet Rudyard Kipling: "Now, don't be angry after you've been afraid. That's the worst kind of cowardice"

Quote of the day: Mondays often bring new challenges, difficult decisions, tight deadlines and moments that test our patience.

His quote simply means feeling fear is natural, but hiding that fear behind anger is a sign of weakness. True courage comes from facing fear honestly, not turning it into aggression.
