            In a world where weakness is preyed upon and efforts are valued, there is very little room for era for a “Hero”. I agree with the notion that a hero is someone who commits heroic acts, however, I also believe that a hero is someone within moments, who inspires others to discover and excel progressively at their own passions. In any sporting event there are usually individuals who inspire others to work and master their craft, due to their efforts or god given ability. Whether its results from an extensive amount of research or inspiring others with innovative strategies within any artistic realms, individuals have the ability to inspire others to unravel their passion for excelling within the academic realms. Relationships are essential to personal development, whether within the home environment or close friends and colleagues; an individual has the capability to encourage other to use moral character within their personality. The sporting arena for ages has been the stage for a hero to exemplify his fortitude.

            In the movie Gladiator, Russell Crowe inspired everyone from older merchants to children who aspire to be great warriors and show will and determination. Fighting to live in an arena of rabid tigers on chains and multiple or giant men serve as great inspiration to all spectators. Football being America’s most popular sport, Monday night is center stage for an NFL Quarterback who bring his team back from a two touchdown deficit entering the last two minutes of regulation, to inspire children who can understand the concept of team work and resilience during a sporting event. Heroic athletes also inspire men who have families to support on a blue collar yearly wage in an industrial small town, Monday give them the opportunity to live vicariously through the Quarterback rallying his troops out of the trenches. Innovative artist during the Italian Renaissance, inspired followers of their craft think outside the box.
            Artist such as Leonardo Di Vinci and Raphael, were highly regarded artists during the Italian Renaissance for creating master pieces such the sculpture of David and the Mona Lisa, these pieces presently serve as motivation for up and coming artist. The passionate valiant efforts of these artists serve as a tool to encourage people within the art realm to ascend at aspect of their life that they are passionate about. During a performing art show while at boarding school, the euphoric sound of listening to a fellow school mate sing a song with passion that I was not familiar with inspired me to put my heart into performing arts.

            In conclusion, the idea of everyone being a hero serve as a subjective belief, depending on the individual. Being cognizant of your surrounding and everyday experiences help you develop as a person, due to inspiration occurrence that take place. A man saving a child from a lion’s den does not occur every day.  A man working every day to support a stable household or a woman living out her childhood dream of performing in front of a mass of people is more likely to occur, which inspires a person to live with as well as seek passion.
