I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This is your second life. Don't be afraid – if you are afraid, you can't move forward.

About This Quote

When Malala Yousafzai was almost killed by the Taliban, she prayed to God to give her the strength to survive. She prayed that she would never be scared or afraid of anything ever again. She said, "If I am not scared, then I will not fear death." This is what she vowed to herself. She knew that if she was not scared, then she would live for another day, but if she was afraid, then she would die.

Fear is something that people can't control or hide from. If fear were not strong, Malala would have never been afraid of death.
