I think a hero is someone who supports and takes good care of their family, and works hard everyday. Of course there are other kinds of heros, like those who volunteer their time to do search and rescue work.

@tragicpoet Yes I am referring to rescue workers. Doctors are also heroes for sure.

That hero might be you, your parents, your relatives or might be your friend. I believe you are referring to rescue workers and doctors. Their hard work to discover and help people is act an of heroism.

The person who has the ability and strength to do what is right even if he/she is the only one standing.

I believe so, a man with determination and standpoint is a good trait a hero should have.

well, depends on the situation and if you wanted to. but for me, if you want to be a hero, make sure you can take the criticisms and those who envy around you.

Even with the best intentions behind it, criticism can make me feel defensive. The most important thing to do when receiving criticism is to do something nice for yourself. It might sound silly, but being open to criticism can wound you. Take a minute to do something nice for yourself. Sometimes treating yourself well can help you better understand what you need to do to improve.

Fighting day to day difficulties of life yet having faith in God and keeping hope in heart is heroism enough.

Those traits would perfectly make a hero on all of us. Very true indeed.
