Who are your heroes?

Defining a personal hero is a bit like allowing our diaries to be

published. Through our choice of heroes, we spell volumes

about ourselves. We reveal our individual values andcomment on those we perceive to be lacking in the world

around us. Our heroes represent the best of ourselves, yet

being human and therefore flawed, they also allow us to

accept our limitations.

releases it. Hatred confuseslife; love harmonizes it. Hatred

Who are your heroes?"Firemen are going to get killed. When theyjoin the department they face that fact. When

a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of

bravery has been accomplished. What he

does after that is all in the line of duty. They

were not thinking of getting killed when theywent where death lurked. They went there to

put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do

not regard themselves as heroes because

they do what the business requires."

Who are your heroes?

I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I

have been entrusted to take the game winning

shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and

over and over again in my life. And that is why . . .

I succeed.

mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing

what must be done does away with fear.
