My Heroes

My heroes

I read a thread a while back that said "who was your favorite hero". I thought about this for a while. Everyone on this planet has heroes. People they admire and want to be like. I think as humans we are very social creatures. We learn how to act toward people and how to socialize with people based on our surroundings and our biggest teachers our family. So I wanted to devote this post to who my heroes are. I broke it down to people in public ( history ) and people in private ( my family )

PUBLIC

By fare my number one public hero is Martin Luther King. He waged a cause knowing how it would end his life. He talked about something no one talks about today but still is worth talking about as much as anything. Brining people together from all walks of life. Martin knew that he would die for what he believe in ye he still kept on fighting. He was a man who brought a national together against hate. To change hate into love I think is a very hard thing to do. All you have to do is look at all videos of the marches and the dogs to see what he was up against. He never gave up and never sank to there level. How could someone being punched down so much over and over keep his head high. One reason i beelive he did this was he understood people only hated because they were raised to hate. Because they were shown this as little kids. he knew he could change this and today we can now see he was right. His dreams lives on and on and only gets brighter each passing year.

A couple other hero's to me.

1) WWII solders. These men and woman were very brave. Storming a beach with bullets flying at you from every direction. When you watch a movie about this you wonder what would i do if that was me. How could I be that brave. What would have come of the world if WWII was lost? Would we still have any kind of freedom if it were not for these people who stood up and defended us. Thank god we do not have to find out.
2) George Washington. - One thing I think was remarkable about George Washington was that after he was finished being president he left office and let someone else take over. This may seem like no big deal but it set a tone for this country an the word that about the transfer of power. My dad once told me yours leadership skills are not proven why you are doing the job, its proven by how well everything runs after you leave.

To me a hero is not someone who has nothing to lose stands up but someone who has everything to lose and still stands up.

FAMILY

My Mom
There is so much I love about my mom I could write all day but the one thing I learned and love that I got from her was the kill of the deal. I learned from my mom how to get a good deal and make it better. My mom can bargain and negotiate better then anyone i ever met. I am always shocked by the deals she makes. She is a truly good business woman. I received allot of my business savvy from her.

My Dad
I love my dads kindness. My dad is someone who would give his last shirt on his back to you if he saw you needed it. He always loves to help people. I remember as a kid having homeless people come to the door asking for my dad by name for money because he would always give it to them. Evan when he does not have he gives. He has showed me allot about giving to doing good.
