ABSTRACT
The first part of courage consists in all this hard work one has to put in with one’s soul day after day, and over and over again, doggedly, going back to it. The second, or more brilliant-looking part of courage, the courageous act itself, which everybody notices, is easy. The real courage is over then. Courage consists in seeing so clearly something that one wants to get that one is more afraid of getting it than one is of anything that can get in the way. The first thing that society is ever able to do with the lowest type of labouring man seems to be to get him to want something. The problem in modern industry is the arousing of the imaginations of capitalists and labourers so that they see something that gives them courage for themselves and for one another, and courage for the world.
