Heroes are who we can become if we diligently pursue our ideas in the furnace of our opportunities. Heroes are those who have changed history for the better. They are not always the men and women of highest potential, but those who have exploited their potential in society's behalf. Their deeds are done not for the h onor but for the duty. Through our study of heroes we enter the realities of greatness.
Heroes are the personification of our ideals, the embodiment of our highest values.

A discerning investor was having lunch with a young man who had recently been made CEO of a corporation. Early in the conversation he asked the young executive to talk of his heroes.
