Courage - source?

[NomiCA]

Some people are more courageous than others…my question is…what are the factors that go into making a person more couragous?

Is it something people are born with?
Genes?
The conditioning and brought up during formative years?

some other things??

supplementary question would be, can a coward become a courageous person?

I quote I have remembered for over a decade now. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to overcome it.

Courage is something you can be taught or trained into. Military personnel are usually your average folk but the training they go throw and their abilities they are provided help them do things most average people will balk at. Been through a few fire fights and protecting someone on a set of subway tracks is not that difficult.

But there are some that are better at their job than others. Some who are crazier than the rest.
