Are YOU Courageous?

What is the most important virtue that differentiates a person from the crowd? What is it truly that accentuates a personality from ordinary to magnetic? What is the force that tells one to pursue dreams that require patience? The answer is – COURAGE.

If not for courage, what would give a person the impetus to imbibe all their energies towards a certain task. Courage to speak for one’s rights is important and needed for growth of a person. Because without liberty to do according to one’s will is bondage. And bondage leads one to nowhere. It only fulfills the whims and fancies of few sadists. One of the most important aspects of being virtuous is to be courageous. Without courage one can’t be consistent with the efforts.

A girlchild who has witnessed abuse won’t let it happen to another child. Once she has enough authority and agency to herself, she can stop such crimes. But not if she isn’t courageous. If she doesn’t have the guts to stand for herself and for the right of others then of what use is her inner virtue? Being courageous is being fearless in following one’s beliefs.

Belief system is the core set of values that make a person what they are. It makes them different from others. There are not many people who truly imbibe courage in practising virtues. This process of following one’s own path is tideous. It requires the will to take on any challenge and set back because of the beliefs one has. Not always will your beliefs be fruitful. One is bound to fail too. Not always. But many times.

Failures truly are the stepping stones to success. If not for failures then what would one fear? Things in life aren’t easy to get. Nothing is. Some people say one is born courageous. Some say you can acquire it afterwards too. I think it’s all about the instinct.

If one has developed the instinct to be reactive to circumstances according to their attitude and virtues, then there’s no looking back. It takes immense courage to help someone, to be honest, to be true.

So the next time anyone teases you for being too “sensitive” or “too emotional”, just ask them if they have the courage in them to feel what you feel. Ask them if they have the gravitas to know what virtue truly means.

I will be talking to and interviewing around 1 lakh people in the coming 2021 and publish their interview regarding their opinion on glamourising Over Work.

Tips for Moot Court Competition

Moot court competitions are one of the most enjoyable aspects of law school extracurricular activities. The concept of moot court competitions is straightforward: they are intended to simulate a court hearing. Through moot courts, the law school provides students with a taste of what it is like to be in a courtroom. Even though it is a requirement in the final year, most law schools hold inter and intramoot court competitions throughout the year to help students improve their mooting skills.  The student usually receives a factsheet, which provides a brief understanding of the dispute in question between two or more parties who are assigned to either the Plaintiff or Defendant’s side of the dispute. The fact sheet is usually provided to the students.   These teams are tasked with creating a fact sheet that includes two speakers and a couple of researchers, among other things. Within the time limit, the students must conduct research into their cases, develop arguments, and prepare responses to the dispute in the form of petitions and affidavits in opposition. Then, on the big day, the participants must defend their positions in front of a panel of judges, who will score them based on a variety of factors including their overall performance. It could be anything from researching to drafting to making an oral presentation.   Let us talk about how to prepare for moot court presentations in greater detail.  Understand the laws that apply to you.  As a law student, you must be familiar with the relevant statutes. You are not permitted to enter the moot court without having completed any prior research or preparation. As a result, you should always begin with the facts of your case. If you’ve been given any sample briefs, make sure to read them thoroughly.  The goal is to:   state the most persuasive arguments for your side;   clarify any points that were not made clear in the written material;   address any weaknesses in your case;   and be familiar with the counterarguments to your opponent’s arguments.  Recognize the relevant facts of the situation.  Each and every page of the case should be familiar and understandable to you. At all times during the debate, you should present yourself as the expert on the facts and be able to answer any questions from the panel.   Consider taking your time when framing your arguments.  Keep in mind that your arguments should be natural and organic in nature. Your oral submissions will be judged on how well you frame your arguments. It must be constructed with a great deal of patience and consideration.  …
