Your presentation
Real heroes strive for the imperishable trophies. Their
rules and goals are different. They live and work in the
world, but they embrace the eternal values of love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
humility, and self-control. While fame, fortune, and power
may come their way, attaining them is not their goal.
Heroes who deserve biography, autobiography or memoir
are people who may attract attention, but direct that
attention beyond themselves to something greater. They
help us aspire and live up to the values they embrace in
their daily lives.
