I think this precept means that when you are bold, that's when good things (or fortunes) will come. I think it comes along the lines of 'if you don't try or take risks, you won't be able to achieve what you want to achieve'. It also sort of means that fortune will follow you only if you are determined enough for it to follow. I mean, if you really want to achieve something, you should be DETERMINED to achieve it. The precept also doesn't have to mean 'achieving something'. It can mean that once you are bold and you do something bold (ex. overcoming fears like we talked about in class), then you will feel good. This is starting to get a little complicated, so I think I should stop right here. Okay, bye!

To me this means if you do something brave say you go rock climbing and you go as far as you think you can go next time you will be able to do and go a lot further. This might mean that you will now know that its not so bad to rock climb. So your fortune is that since you were bold the first time you gained knowledge of rock climbing not being so bad so you might gain a new skill of rock climbing.

I think that the precept means that if you are bold, good things will happen to you. If you try something new, you might feel brave enough to do other things. If you try lots of different things that used to scare you, you might find new hobbies.

I don`t really know what this means but i`ll give it a try. This means to me that if you ever want to try something that you have never done before or it is out of your conformable zone, go for it, nothing is keeping you back. Try to concurred your fear even if you think it is scary. I`m not sure if that is right but that is all I got. See you all tomorrow! :D

Fortune to me is I guess like good luck. To get good luck you must do something bold. I think that is what the precept means to me.

I think the precept means that if your bold, good things or fortunes will happen to you. Also If you try new stuff that are way out of your conformable zone, you'll think that your brave and also if your scared of something and you do it, you won't be scared again. Well that's all, see you guys tomorrow. Bye and remember we have SKATING TOMORROW!

I think it's means if you work hard you'll achieve what you wanted to do and good will come out of it! It dosen't have to be fortune it could simply be feeling good that you accomplished something!

I think it means when you do something bold, or brave, you will feel a sense of acomplishment, like good luck. For instance, like when you rode a rollercoster, you feel sense of satisfaction about riding it.

Hi! I think it means that if you are bold then good fortunes will come to you. Why I think this is because bold means, brave or outgoing and fortune is like a wish that you get in the future. Mr. Browne's precept is that if you are brave then good things or wishes will come to you in the future! Well, thats my thoughts! See you all tomorrow! Bye for now!

I think Mr. Browne's precept means to me that fortunate favors come from being bold. Whenever you do something bold, maybe it could be that you stood up for someone when they got bullied and now that person you helped could be the person you are best friends with. Or in other words the bold people in return get fortunate favors. See you all tomorrow.

I think that ''Fortune favours the bold'' means that if you are a strong, confident, and courageous fortune will come to help you when you need it the most.

I think it means you will have good luck if you carry yourself out boldly. I think it is to courage people to believe in their plans or goals. I think fortunes favour the brave and the strong and you need those to be bold.
