How To Become A Hero by Kamila Moravcikova

This could be an instruction what to do if you would like to be a hero. First of all, you should be young, brave, smart, not afraid to take a dare. You have to keep your eyes open and think little bit faster than all the others do. Do not forget, there is also a dark side of being a hero. Probably it will hurt a lot. You have to be prepared that you can be injured (sorry, but when you are a hero, danger is part of your job). Then you should be at a right place on a right time so you can save something or somebody (hero professionals recommend the second alternative). The best place is a public place crowded with people (the best situation is a crowd without another hero among it). You should pay your attention to the special occasions, people who play important role in a public life, for example people who are running for president or already are ones. Sure, you can save someone who is not well known, it depends on how much you want to be on public. You should chose a country, it is recommended to chose the one that is little bit turbulent as there is a greater chance that "something" will happen. What can help you a lot when becoming a hero is being a part of Scout Movement. It is not necessary but it could be helpful as the scout training is being aimed at "physical, mental and spiritual development" so the scouts "may play constructive role in society" and are always prepared. And than it is just your turn to show the whole world your abilities. This could not be an instruction what to do if you would like to be original. You can ask 15-year old Mohammed Ibrahim (who is a Boy Scout by the way) what it means to be a hero, what it means to stop the man who was trying to assassinate Maldives President Maumoon Gayoom by grabbing his knife. And you can also ask him what it means to get hurt as his was injured and could not move his fingers.
