Ano ba ang kahulugan ng courage or tapang in Filipino? Sa Internet maraming kahulugan ang tapang, my favorite meanings ( with the mark of the heart) :

Ang kagandahan ng salitang "tapang" , hinde ito nalilihis sa katauhan ng isang tao. It comes from within ourselves and not outside. If you look at the terms : espiritu, diwa, and damdamin, all of these words are what marks a person as matapang. Meaning: Courage is closely associated with one's connection to the mysterious cosmos and your state of mind.
Ang isa pang powerful na meaning ng tapang comes from the book of Brené Brown "The Gifts of Imperfection." In her words, Ang ugat ng salitang "courage" ay "cor"- the Latin word for heart or puso. Ang sabi pa ni Brené Brown, ang isa sa mga naunang kahulugan ng katapangan or courage in English ay " To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."
Pero what does it really imply? Connecting both the meanings of tapang in Tagalog and English this is what I see. Una. Kahit may takot ka sa puso mo, lakasan mo ang loob mo. Pangalawa. You are a supernatural being living inside a human vessel called a body or katawan. May diwa ka which is unique and distinct from other people. Pangatlo. Ang nilalaman ng puso mo at ang boses mo bilang tao is significant to other human beings who makeup the world. Kahit busy silang nanood ng cat videos, nag seselfie sa instagram at nakahook sa Internet almost 24/7, there are people who will listen to you. Even if it's just you listening to your own heart. What you say and what you do MATTERS.
"Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
– Steve Jobs
