By Sukh Singh, Associate Partner, Lighthouse International

Here is a simple, powerful message from the former Harry Potter actress and UN Ambassador Emma Watson. Time and again we see that the successful people in this world are the ones who confront challenges, face fears and push through uncertainty because they know on the other side lies their freedom and ultimate success…

Courage is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation.

Emma also supported the courage of Keegan Hirst, the first openly gay British rugby player…
