Courage is far better than fearlessness. Fearlessness means complete lack of caution, since nothing is feared. Plunge forward without any thought of safety.

Courage is far better than fearlessness. Fearlessness means complete lack of caution, since nothing is feared. Plunge forward without any thought of safety. Courage, on the other hand, means paying attention to the dangers and going forward whenever it's not a mistake. Having said that, fearlessness can be the correct attitude when dealing with situations that are extremely risky from the start, such as startups. I've actually worked on a project that had the owners approached me at the start, I would have told them it was impossible due to various concerns. It turned out to be massively successful and they created a new niche, but only by rushing head-first into it and refusing to stop.
