I completely agree with this view. Heroes are honest human beings who didn't intend to be heroes but even without thinking about it, just take action for others when it's needed. The boy who repeatedly moved in and out of a collapsed school building to pull out his trapped classmates during an earthquake in 1990 in the Philippines is a hero. That boy died when the classroom finally collapsed but he did save many of his classmates. So is the soldier who keeps on fighting against odds to save his buddies is a hero. They are all around us.
