A Quote by Pierre Omidyar on heroes

I've been asked before, "Who are your heroes?" and these types of questions. I always find it hard to identify a single person or a single book or this sort of thing. I've always been forward looking. I was raised with the notion that you can do pretty much anything you want. You're able to accomplish anything you set out to accomplish. I was given a sense of confidence and I never really felt the need to -- or I've never had the benefit, I should probably say -- of being inspired by outside heroes.

Gracious One : Goddess of Change

I would agree with him,  but for this, I look to others as conspiracers in the realm of those who lives for their own integrity and desires at the delight and joy of all they behold.  They aren't heros, but they are too.  We are all heros, we are all superstars, we are all beautiful people- we are the heros, we who live as we desire, as we ought, as our heart leads us.  Maybe true hero worship is simply loving and valueing those around us who are heros in their own way.
