Who Wants to be a Hero?

Who Wants to be a Hero?

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:

  1. Becoming a hero automatically increases your attractiveness by 20-40%. FACT.
  2. Your chances of being in a parade multiply by six.
  3. You could get on TV.

Do you need any more?

Try these: heroes save lives, change lives, and improve the world.

Heroes do these things. Observers and bystanders do not. The anti-hero on your favourite premium cable TV show doesn’t.

Heroes are not born heroes. Except Achilles. And Hercules. But they had gods in their family trees.

Heroes are forged. They are forged through practice, through preparation, through study, and through circumstance.

Who doesn’t want to be a hero? Seriously.
