As a matter of fact, it is all about what is on the inside—the qualities and behavior fixed in a mentality. That is why self-obsessed people do not make it on the list of heroes

    “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” A person doesn’t have to wear a cape to be a hero.
