Reflecting on and writing about experiences is a very powerful tool for supporting people going through stressful situations. The reflections help you see what you did in the past that you can learn from and apply to your current situation. You can realize your own capacity for courage. In your leadership journal write about a time in your life when you believe you demonstrated courage, whatever you understand that to mean. Your story can relate to something recent or in your distant past. It can be about something that occurred at work, at school, in your community, or in any setting. In talking to people about their experiences with courage, we've found that some folks struggle with the notion that they might have acted courageously. If you have this initial response, that's pretty normal.

To get started, you might begin by completing this sentence several times until you settle on something you want to think reflect on more deeply: “It took courage for me to ___________________________________________.”

Then, write down your answer to this question: “In that moment of courage what lessons did this teach me about courage?” You are a courageous person, so keep working on strengthening that courage muscle, and it will be ready for the unexpected fears and uncertainty you will face in becoming the best leader you can be.

The programs work though needing upgrades and patches to bring them up to current specifications and need to service far more transactions per second than they were designed.

The cost for upgrades and patches plus changing the capabilities of the code to match current demands is expensive. The cost of rewriting everything in a modern code Java, JavaScript and or Python is extremely costly.
