In order, for me to admire somebody, they usually need to exhibit exceptional qualities. The qualities, prominent enough for me to notice in a person are a fast memory, someone who is direct and honest, and someone who is charitable. From my perspective, these traits are a paragon of excellence, and I myself wish to exhibit these traits on a more consistent basis. 

A fast memory is important to me, because it’s a weapon that eliminates many of the struggles in life. My grandfather’s roommate had a photographic memory and could review his notes whilst taking his exam; in lieu, of fiddling with studying methods, or fighting to get the information past your working memory and into your long term memory. My grandfather's roommates memory was brilliant. He was able to directly access his long-term memory with visual snapshots. 

I find honesty important because, I believe the truth no matter the consequence will bring the best results. Notably, I find the truth especially admirable when it’s embarrassing. Any situation where one embraces their supposed defects should mold a better reality than the reality one the individual hides their defects and puts up a front. In a world, where everybody builds themselves off of their innate sense of self, the ideas of others, their environment, what is disapproved, and what is approved.. To risk creating more tacit taboos and to give power to more power to more potential roadblocks is a mistake. I believe in the interpretation of the “Survival of the Fittest” as survival of the fittest community and not the fittest individual. I find that the individual should sacrifice a social comfort in order to help progress their community. 

The allocentric individuals are admirable to me because they thrive for the strongest community and worry little about themselves. In the Korean television program series Pinocchio Episode 8 there was a drunk truck driver , barreling down a snowy road, absquatulating the police, about to hit a boy in the midst of crossing the street. When a side character the brother of  a main character rams into the truck precluding the truck from hitting the boy. 

To be a hero, I believe the three qualities of a fast memory, forthrightness, and allocentric behaviour are all necessary/rudimentary requirements to be admired en masse. Although, people could rhapsodize an individual solely due to a specialized skill or a single act of heroism. I find those who aren’t simply adulated; but, truly appreciated will have these three characteristics. A quick memory, to spike interest in the person (e.g. quips), honesty to allow people to live vicariously through them (e.g. Rick in Rick and Morty countering the social affectations we’re all used to partaking in), and an allocentric heart (e.g the private charities that arise to solve a problem).

Introduction
In order, for me to glorify someone they tend to need to exhibit into a “beau idéal” character traits . 

Body Paragraph II - 
A quick working memory, eliminates friction in life. 
An instance of a speedy working memory would be a reporter looking for a scoop, a police officer accidentally revealing a list of important telephone numbers that pertain to a case and that reporter quickly memorizing those numbers. 
Body Paragraph III - 
My grandmother, attends the soup kitchen on a consistent basis; sacrificing her time. The Soup Kitchen, nearly the quintessential volunteer gig, I personality find less desirable. To me, it seems the volunteers are just for show; with the real work being done by the employees of the shelter. My problem is my charitable expediency, and  perhaps a hero complex. I don’t want to be the background character of the volunteer work. I wish to be the cynosure. For example, I volunteered with a bunch of Mormons collecting textiles for homeless. Sadly, in this instance I’m not doing much of the brunt work. With the Mormons managing the supply chain thing. My dream would be to emulate the “Newmans Own” brand and lead a charity. It would be best if I could, ignore my concerns of being the cool charity character and help as a cog in a pre-established system like my grandmother does; but all I can think about is ways to spice up the volunteer work. Ranging from as ridiculous as boogie Soup Kitchen,
