Virtuosity

nxb,sbxasbcabckcdc

Virtuosity is the key aspect of a heros character. A hero is never foolishly audacious.
He always is judicious and well skilled to cite and cease the opportunities, which
present themselves on the way towards his destination. A hero is laden with all the
essential faculties, which are instrumental to accomplish what he seeks.
Sacrifice
Sacrifice is a quality that stands unique from all the other virtues which makes a hero
noble in his deeds. He or she is always quite willing to cast off the predilections and
personal comforts whenever they become indispensable for a higher cause or for the
welfare of others.
Compassion
A true hero is always empathetic, benevolent and shows a great deal of compassion
and tenderness to those ailing or in distress. He or she keeps aside thoughts those
are oriented to the self and embraces an attitude that serves others.
Perseverance
This quality is what that makes the hero special. Even if they encounter failure on
their way, they are determined to get over it and fight till they achieve success. They
do not give up simply rather they are focused to withstand all the consequences that
they may encounter in their path.
Dedication
The heroes are selflessly dedicated to their task and will thus focus their actions
towards its achievement. They whole-heartedly dedicate themselves to the task,
which is set, and work towards its completion.
Honesty
In all the endeavors that a hero takes up, honesty forms the base of all his efforts.
This honesty earns him the respect of others and helps him leading his followers to
the desired goal.

Loyalty
A hero is considered to possess fierce loyalties in the sense that he is faithful to
whatever tasks they take up. His commitment to a particular cause leads him way
beyond others citing an example for others to follow him.

Intrepidity
The heroes have a courage that is unshaken despite anything that comes in their
path of their focused success. They are determined to fight challenges with resolute
courageousness.
Conviction
Heroes have a strong conviction as they have strong beliefs regarding a particular
situation. It is a set of unshakable thoughts or beliefs, which cannot be altered by any
chance.
Responsibility
Whatever be the type of responsibility entailed on them, they take it up with utmost
sincerity and take it to its logical conclusion.
Wisdom
Wisdom is the most desired quality, which a leader must possess. A fool can lead a
horde of beasts but not human beings set on a definite purpose. Only a wise and
astute person can do so. Whatever a hero maybea warrior, a preacherwisdom is
always an attribute that all of them possess.
A hero is not born, he is self-made. Above mentioned are some of the most
fundamental qualities, which a hero invariably possesses. We all do possess
some of the virtues, which have been explained above. However, what sets a
hero apart from the hoi polloi is that he can be said to be the highest or the perfect
embodiment of all of these virtues.

1. Courage

Courage and bravery leap to mind first when we think of heroism. It's difficult to
achieve anything truly heroic unless you're up against daunting odds. As Nelson
Mandela put it, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."
..The first and the foremost quality of a hero is his courage. A hero always
overcomes his fears and confronts any challenge head on. Even the faintest tinge
of fear doesnt linger in the heart of a hero.

2. Selflessness
True leaders always puts others first. Ironically, that kind of selflessness can often
be strategic, because focusing on others' needs often winds up helping you
achieve your own goals. However, a heroic leader does so without any
expectation of payback.

3. Humility
Nothing makes a heroic leader seem a little less heroic than if he or she seems to
want constant credit for his or her actions. True heroism can amaze us, but it also
often contains a component of modesty.

4. Patience
While heroism often requires quick thinking and decisiveness, truly heroic leaders
often also display an impressive amount of patience.

5. Caring
Separate from selflessness, heroic leaders display a sense of concern and
kindness for others. This can often manifest itself in strong but gentle actions
intended to improve the lives of others. These are small acts of heroism that
rarely attract any notice.

1. Courage
Heroic leaders have the determination to achieve the goal, regardless of the challenging
obstacles. They display confidence under stress and are courageous enough to take risks
when others are looking to hide themselves.

2. Passion
It might be possible to instill leaders qualities, but truly heroic leaders are already
passionate about their work. Their passion and level of assurance inspire the team members
and motivate them to perform better.
Mohandas Gandhi was a well-known political and ideological leader of India
during the Indian independence movement. Gandhi headed the powerful Salt
Tax protest and was detained numerous times for his protests against British
rule.

3. Integrity
Leadership is the integration of external actions and internal ethics. Heroic leaders are
trusted by their followers because they never change from inner values, even when it might
be difficult.
Nelson Mandela had the trust and daring to fight against the unfair structure of
apartheid. Because of his political actions, he was sent to prison for 20 years,
but he managed to win the trust of the people and soon he was set free to lead a
free South Africa.

4. Honesty
Heroic leaders are always honest with everyone around them; they tell the truth and possess
little tolerance for telling people what they want to hear. At the end of the communiqu, they
expect honesty from others, and they dont penalize people for doing so.
Abraham Lincolns great laws of truth and honesty led people to recognize him
as a judge or moderator in several cases, fights, and quarrels. People trusted
implicitly upon his honesty, truthfulness, and fairness.

5. Confidence
Developing self-confidence is ingrained in heroic leaders as a key to success. A leader begins
to develop confidence by achieving a small accomplishment. As heroic leaders progress in
their lives, they attract fellowship, use influence tactics to develop self-confidence, and
shape, train, and motivate a team.
Steve Jobss leadership style was multifaceted. He was strongly focused when
committed and confident enough to make risky decisions to enlist legions of
employees and customers in the persistent search of his goals.

6. Patience
One of the greatest qualities heroism possesses is a great amount of patience, an invaluable
virtue, which helped them in spreading their message.
Martin Luther King, Jr. significantly contributed to American society by
eradicating isolation and hugely plummeting racism. During his movement,
Kings life was in unceasing dangerhis home was blown up and his
companions were threatened, hassled, arrested, and detained. His impeccable
quality of patience to remove racism makes King one of the most inspirational
heroes of all time.

7. Selflessness
A great American leader John F.Kennedy once said, Dont ask what your country can do
for youask what you can do for your country.
This is the attitude of truly heroic leaders. They are more concerned about group successes
than with hunting their own goals. Such individuals become an inspiration for others, even
as they face challenges; they will embrace success and earn respect.

Again, the great Nelson Mandela was a selfless leader who lived his life for his
people, and he has been recognized as one of the greatest leaders in the world.
His willingness and enthusiasm to sacrifice for others headed a movement to
unite a divided nation and bring together periods of pain and racism.
Throughout his life and even after his death, he is renowned as a hero. Mandela
dedicated himself to the struggle of the African people.

8. Caring
Apart from selflessness, Heroic Leaders care about making the world a better place; they
display a sense of concern and kindness for others. They are community service leaders, who
take action intentionally to improve the lives of others.
Mother Teresas life-long dedication to the care of the poor, unprivileged and
deprived people was one of the utmost examples of service to the humanity. She
dedicated herself to humanity, forgotten and unwanted people, not only in
India but all over the world.

9. Humility
Humility is the common quality of heroic leaders: nonexistence of pride or self-assertion in
their personality. Heroic leader realizes their own weaknesses, and give credit to all the
people behind their success. Humility is the most powerful virtue that is needed within every
leader to achieve success.
Jim Levy, an army officer, is recalled as a humble man who served his nation
and public in times of war and peace and always kept his sense of service. After
the war, when he came back to Montgomery, Levy switched from combat
services to community responsibilities and set an example of leadership by
playing key roles in various public activities.

10. Supportive
conclude from this point that heroic leaders display a supportive leadership behavior. They
make it a habit to guide others and are welcoming, approachable, and supportive. Truly
heroic leaders lean toward the welfare and requirements of their subordinates.
Malala Yousafzai, 15 years old, is the worlds most famous advocate for
girls right to education; she was shot in the head for protecting every girls
right to an education in Pakistans Swat valley.

A hero is someone how does something to help or save others given all of
them to do what's best to help and save people. A hero motivates others to
better in life and I believe some of the qualities that heroes should hold upon
themselves are courage, compassion, inspiration, and sacrifice. Courage is
doing the right thing when the wrong thing seems to produce better results,
looking past your personal goals and dedicating your life better. For example
Batman is a man with a lot of courage, the fact that as bruce wayne he also
gives to charity, he has sacrificed his entire life to keep others safe. This
shows that a person with courage can be a hero even though most of the
heroes have super power you don't have to have them to be a hero someone
can just have some good qualities in order to become a real hero.
Another quality is compassion, the understanding or empathy for the
suffering of others, take action to help others, Maria shows compassion by
helping other during weekends, she will visit to the orphanage and help the
workers to teach the children and also play with them. Maria also always
teach me manners, to respect other people, and always give to other people
who is needed making her a hero for other people. Inspiration is one
important quality that a hero has, being inspired by someone makes a person
trie to be like them or try to do good stuff in life, Harry Potter he was a hero
inspired by his parents were wizards like him Harry survived the darkest spell
of them all from Lord Voldemort, but his parents died. showing him what a
brave parents he had, this inspired Potter to have a position as a fighter for
all things good and against evil he;s destined to be brave, loyal, and
triumphant against the evil source. This shows that Harry potter is inspired by
his parent making him a hero by being against the evil inspirits saving other
people.
Who Is A Hero?
Who is a hero? What are the qualities of a hero? Are there any heroes left? These
questions are actually the basis for this essay. Even though most of them can be
answered by

you, the reader, I shall try to incorporate fact and personal opinion in order to
give a
better understanding of the qualities a hero possesses. Now lets talk about who
is a hero. In my
opinion, a hero is a person, who possesses three main qualities: compassion,
courage, and
intelligence.
Compassion, a word with only one definition, but so much meaning. The quality,
which
makes a hero who he is. Its not just courage and intelligence that define a hero,
but also
compassion. Compassion for life a trait that is very important, a trait that
stands out the most.
First, let me give you the meaning of this word: sympathetic feeling. Sympathy
and compassion
are the same things, and both of these should not just exist in a hero, but also in
every one of us.
A hero possess this quality as well as many others, but it is what makes him
human, or should I
even say, humane. This quality, even though not as important as the other two,
makes up a heros
heart and soul, his inner strength, and that is the most important strength of all.
Brave, fearless, heroic, bold all synonyms that describe a hero. All these could
just be
summarized into one quality: courage. Courageous isnt an adjective that
describes only the
person who jumps in front of a bullet. Yes, that is an example of courage, but an
even more vivid
example would be the courage that it takes to stand alone, when you are
outnumbered ,or
outvoted. That is, indeed, true courage. Only a hero can be brave and
courageous enough to
stand alone when he is completely outvoted and outnumbered. A wonderful
example of this
quality would be in the play Twelve Angry Men when juror number eight has

Who is a hero?
hero. a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and
noble qualities. a person who, in the opinion of others, hasheroic qualities or has

performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a

local hero when he saved the drowning child.

3. Alexander, The Great

Known as the Man Who Conquered The World, Alexander the Great is
often said to be the greatest military leader of all time. He was born in 356
BC and by the age of 33, he had the largest empire in the history which
stretched from Greece to Egypt to India. He was the king of the Kingdom
of Macedonia and perhaps, he was the greatest military commander to
have ever lived. He did the noble deed of unifying many Greek city states.
He was undefeated in battle and succumbed to malaria and died in 323
BC. His fortes were his foresight, vision and military capabilities.
11. Winston Churchill

The most crucial and the most important time for a leader to show their
true worth is in the face of adversity and Winston Churchill managed to
shine at the task. He was the British Prime Minister and leader during the
WW II. He was an able leader, an emotional man but his greatest victory
was in his motivation for others to defend themselves against the Nazis.
His determination, perseverance and the patriotic devotion towards the
nation motivated the Britishers to go forward and win the war with the
help of the Allies. Keep Calm And Carry On, he said, and won the war and
the hearts. Winston Churchill
Former British Prime Minister
Queen Elizabeth II knighted Churchill in 1953. She once offered to make him the
Duke of London, but he declined.
Churchill was the first person to be named an Honorary Citizen of the United States,
in 1963, by President John F. Kennedy.

10. Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was a Roman military commander and a genius, to say the
very least. He played a critical role in the death of a Roman Republic and
the rise of the strong Roman Empire. He was not only quick and smart on
the battlefield but he also devised great strategies and plan for the
expansion of the empire and his political finesse, with the help of which he
conquered almost all of Western Europe. His decisiveness, abilities to outwit his opponents made it possible for him to gain a strong following. He
was eventually assassinated by his friend Brutus. The famous
Shakespearean tragedy Julius Caesar is based on his life.
9. Franklin D Roosevelt

Franklin Roosevelt, also called FDR, was an American statesmen and a

political leader who helped America during some of the worst years like
The Great Depression. Roosevelt was afflicted with polio at the age of 29
and he was left paralyzed in both his legs. And yet, he went on to become
the President in 1933 and he is the only President who was elected four
consecutive times, till 1945, when he died. He also lead the America
military into WW II and made America rise to power. His political
knowledge, yearning to never stop are characteristics that every true
leader longs to have.
8. Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military leader who rose to power after
the French Revolution which overthrew the monarchy. He was shrewd and
cunning and a person who knew that bigger numbers did not always mean
bigger strength. His small armies are known to have triumphed over larger
armies. The Napoleonic Code of Legal Reforms which he formed is used till
date in many places. His military leadership and the regard for the
common man made him famous and he ruled and influenced France for
many years.
6. Adolf Hitler
Now, many people will argue and disagree with the fact that a man like
Hitler is called a great leader but we have to say that although his actions
and deeds were not good but his leadership skills were matched only by
few in the world. He became the chancellor of Germany in 1933, rising
through the ranks and waged a great war. But his oratory skills, military
expansions and economic growth plans are something whose credit we
have to duly give him and him alone. Meticulous planning, propaganda
and strategizing by Hitler has in some way, shaped the power politics of
the world that we see even today.
4. Abraham Lincoln
It takes a man with a vision to lead a country during its bad times.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of USA, led the country through the
US Civil War. He strived hard and did his best to keep the people of the
country together or else, today, America would have been many smaller
countries instead of one big country. He signed the Emancipation
Proclamation, thereby ending slavery in US. He heart ached for the ones
for whom he could do not do anything. His conviction, humility, oratory
skills made him one of the greatest leaders we have ever had.

3. Martin Luther King Jr.

It all started with a dream, like it always does. A dream for change and a
dream for better tomorrow. Martin Luther King Jr. was an activist and a
leader in the civil rights movement of USA. He was also a member of the
clergy. He is known for the non-violent ways in which he advanced and led
the civil rights movement. He fought for racial equality and showed the
people a picture of a better future where all men are equal. Courage,
perseverance and the will to fight for whats right till the very end made
him a great leader. He won The Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
2. Nelson Mandela

No one needs an introduction for this great man. Nelson Mandela was the
first democratically elected President of South Africa. He was the leader
and the face of the Anti- Apartheid movement and all through his life, he
relentlessly fought against racial discrimination. For his actions, he served
a long prison sentence but even that did not deter him. He came out as a
hero and led the country into a free, equal future. His determination, focus

and will-power were tremendous that even after serving almost 30 years
in jail, he got out and worked again for what was right.
