what is a hero ?
is it a superhuman person with powers like super strength or some cool abilities ?
are heros like spiderman or superman with their xray vision or web or whatever ?
what makes a true hero ?
well, lets share a story, heard it during a service.
there was once this kid, when he was born, he was so defected, the doctors said he couldn't love for more than 3 hours, but he did.
when he baby was 1 day old, the doctors said he would never survive due to his brain defects, but he lived.
when the kid was 11, the doctors said he would never cope in school, he passes his coped with school and went on.
when the kid was in highschool, they said he would never pass his exams due to his brain problems, he passed them.
during his school PE lessons, they said he would never finish his run due to his deformities, he stumbled and stumbled but went on and completed his race, the people cheered him on.
and when he was 18, they said he would never get his drivers licence, but once again, never failing, he proved everyone wrong.
that, is a hero, with no powers, or superhuman abilities but,
never giving up, always pushing on and hoping for the best.
having a great attitude.
as someone i know wrote to me, 'your attitude determines your alititude'
tis' true, image being a kid with deformities like him, people calling u things, its hard. but even though it may end in tradgedy, always pushing on and hoping, now thats a real hero.
do we all know heros in our lives ? few people do, we only hear of these kind of stories as inspiration to have better attitudes and to cheer us up during church seriveces or in books, but really, do we have what it takes to do that ? well, yes. it just takes effort really,
i wanna be a hero.
