My hero

So recently I went for a workshop hosted by my university on how to get task done and one of the question I got asked was, who's your hero? Who do you aspire to be like?

And my answer is, the people around me. It's not just a single soul, but is the multitude that makes up my social circle: my family, my friends, my colleagues, my mentors and even my students.

You see, everyone has a lesson to offer, an admirable trait, an experience to share.  It is through these people, that I see, learn and mould myself to become what I pray, is a more ideal me. I have learnt things like:

humility - being willing to humble yourself to acknowledge things you don't know and learn;

kindness - taking the time and effort to really care about people's wellbeing and following up on them;

selfless - choosing to pick up that piece of garbage you see lying on the ground and not act ignorant;

optimism - to always look at things from another point of view when your current view is seemingly bleak;

generosity - being generous in your compliments and being genuine at it;

These are just the little preview of what heroes around me are portraying and I admire them from the depths of my heart! And so, I hope to honour them by dedicating this post to all of them! Thank you so much for being my hero!!
