Courage is very important, without it a hero will not be able to use their willingness to help. Courage gives a person the strength to go through with an action to help others where others would run.
A hero has to take action knowing that the outcome may be unpleasant for them. Even though the outcome may be disastrous they will do it anyway. Deep down the hero knows the other person will gain from the help. They shut off everything that is taking place around them to get the job done, and they execute what they think is right without worrying what people say to them. Quick thinking is the ability to make a fast reasonable decision in a tight situation. A hero has to be able to think quickly to execute the willingness to help and use their courage usefully. If a hero is not able to make quick decisions, the situation may become more dramatic than it had originally been, or the victim may not need the attention that the hero would have once been able to provide. Quick thinking doesn’t allow the situation to get out of the hero’s hands or let it get too serious.
A hero has to be as physically strong as they are mentally strong. One needs to be prepared to do any physical work that is needed to help another person. A situation may call for a hero to carry a person very swiftly from danger. One might have to lift a victim’s body weight. If one doesn’t have the physical strength to do so, then the heroism will not be accomplished. A hero has to be mentally strong to withstand the stress when working under pressure. One can’t get too nervous under pressure or a terrible mistake may occur.
Most importantly, a hero must be a good role model for children as well as adults. A hero needs to live a reasonable life style, so children and adults have a guideline to follow. Children look up to a hero, while trying to imitate and portray themselves after them. If one were to pick a bad hero, they will try to imitate the same bad habits their hero possess, even if they think it is wrong to do so.
A hero doesn’t have to wear a fancy suite with a cape and fly around the city fighting crime every day. My definition of a hero: a willingness to help people, courage, quick thinking and reacting, physically and mentally strong, and be a good role model. A hero has doesn’t have to lead a perfect life or be known as a hero to an entire city. They just have to be known as a hero to one person.
