A hero would preform an act which goes beyond what is normally excepted of that person. Such as running in a burning building to save someone.What makes a true hero?
The title is achieved when you do something that everyone in your social circle (from country to family and friends) will be proud of.
To be a true hero involves self-sacrifice to help other people without worrying about whether you will be repaid financially or even recognition for your good deeds. Sometimes, it could be something like taking a homeless person into your home when it's freezing cold outside, so s/he doesn't freeze. It could be helping kids or somebody else, who are in trouble. Then, it could even be risking your own life to save the life of someone else.





There are plenty of stories of true hero's out there. Unfortunately, they get over shadowed by all the bad news that the news stations are reporting. It seems they feel people are more interested in hearing about the bad news than the good news, so they don't give the good news very much air time when they do report it.





Recently, I heard about a guy who risked his life to pull a driver out of his car. The man in the car had family with kids and so did the man who saved him.





Then, there was the Navy Seal, who recently sacrificed his own life to save the lives of his team mates, when he threw himself on a grenade in Iraq.





This was just two examples of true hero's, who simply acted on instinct and risked their own lives to save the lives of others.
