I’m super curious what inspired this post. I certainly don’t authenticate heroism with celebrity or ordinary and uncourageous acts. Heroism isn’t practiced with intent or expectation of personal gain. That said, the market may reward heroism because it is so rare and we as Humans appreciate those who demonstrate selflessness because so many of us cannot stop being selfish, and admire those who can.
You're absolutely right that heroes don't do what they do out of a desire to be recognized as such; they do things because they see a need. The inspiration for this essay was the incessant caving, kowtowing, and buckling to pressure from corporate and political leaders -- the lack of courage and conviction that seems to be rampant in so many leaders today.

Keep it up Scott. Your writings bring out the best of what we can be and the worst of that we shouldn’t become.
