Mine is 50 cent and eminem, i grew up listening to them as a kid or teen....would memorize lyrics and sync my memory with music with headphones on.

whats yours and why?
 
My hero is cj peters. He is a mircosoft.com biologists that works for the cuckoos. I have read many of his books. He was alive to see the ebola strain transform over the year. (Ebola is my favorite virus next to Marburg) he also got a chance to go to Africa and see ebola first hand. He has also worked on many other level 4 viruses. I hope you someday do half the things he has done
 
Also sometimes I think about nick vujicic, eric thomas, sean stephenson....

why? well because their lyrics are powerful as fuck and it makes you relate to them

To me, a hero is someone who takes risks and makes great sacrifices for others.

a person in uniform isn't the only person who takes risks and makes great sacrifices... there are many people in many walks of life who could fit that.

Two of my heroes are friends of mine. One is a full blooded Native American woman. She has been through a LOT in her life- quite a bit of adverse events etc...yet she still manages to stay strong and cares for 5 kids- 3 of whom returned to her after their father- her ex died in a house fire. The other is someone I met online 10 years ago- that person has dealt with many challenged (most recent being a broken leg/ankle and an ass of a doctor who screwed up the first surgery- that on top of having no insurance at the time.

I know that the first friend mentioned above considers me a 'hero' in her eyes (or admires me at least) for reasons I don't wish to divulge.

People have different definitions of what comprises a hero. To me- it includes military...social service personnel (Social Worker etc), police, fire, nurses/doctors...and your every day person faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges but still will fight back.

They can be included, for sure, but they aren't the only heroes. :)

I know, there are Good Samaritan that risk their life all the time to save someone in danger . Some men saved a woman from drowning when her car ended up in the water recently . Good Samaritans are hero too. :)
 
I know men and women who have spouses with diseases like Alzheimer's or injuries like paralysis who remain faithful to them and take care of them until death do them part. Those are heroes, too.

I knew a brother who took care of his 90 yo sister that had Alzheimer's , he didn't want his sister being mistreated in a nursing home . He said he was going take care until her death and the brother was almost 90 yo too. Children are heroes too, there been small children that called 911 when one of parents passed out etc . The child will tell was wrong with their parent and some children even delivered their mom's baby ! :) I love these heroes , and pets been heroes too! :) Heroes come in all shapes and sizes .
 
I hope this doesn't sound lame, it includes some vague bio. The course of my life as a younger male was a long story of making mistakes... Lots of mistakes. Lots of contributing factors and most were mine. Inspiration became something I needed steady doses of just to get going and stay going. I made and found heroes daily. I was an equal opportunity hero seeker and observer. Meanwhile what I thought of myself was mighty small. The day came in my search to somehow stay alive in spite of myself ... I had learned to value that "wee small voice" I hear inside. It said, " Goodonya, be your own hero!". To be able to respect myself and to say yeah I did good... inside...between me and me no one else... those are great moments. For me it's all about being a better person and being honest to myself about whether I am doing it right or wrong, trying to be my own hero, that sure helps! Please excuse the grammatical disaster here ok?
