To tell you the truth the only heroes I have/had are those who I know represent the greatest things about humanity on a daily basis. Most who are thought of as heroes are only role models in certain aspects of their lives and when looked at overall are something less than successful IMO.
A couple of my heroes:
An old boss who could have chosen a path that would have led him to riches or fame (or both) with little personal time left over but instead built a family and created a niche in a small company which allows him to be challenged intellectually while providing for his family (both financially and emotionally).
A woman who, wanting to free herself from an abusive husband and provide for her three children, created a career by starting off as a receptionist and taking community college classes in her spare time. Eventually getting her BS and a couple of MS degrees along the way.
