For some reason, I am often asked why anyone would want to be a hero. It seems a strange question, but I have the answer. There are three reasons:

The next time you see someone in need, just remember there might be others who are just waiting for your lead.

Panicing can lead to misjudgment of the gravity of a situation. Panicing can create a paralysis.

Humility is one of the cornerstones of the hero. If someone declares themself a hero, you can rest assured that they’re not.

There are lots of skills and training you could be doing right now to prepare yourself for heroism. Are you?
