Hero
Hero.
I will talk about hero. Do you have your own hero? I have one. At first, let me
tell you about what “hero” is. Hero is someone / something that could affect to
others. Everybody needs hero for his or her life. I don't think that everybody
has the same idea with me. I said, “Everybody needs hero,” based on my reason.
Hero could affect us; it affects us to be better obviously. What the purpose in
our life? Of course, to be better at things we face or we live for. Anyway, I
have my list of hero here. I will introduce him for you, guys. His name is Nick
Vujicic. Do you know about him before? If your answer is yes, maybe you will
know what I will say about him after this. If your answer is no, you can read
my explanation about him below.
Nick
Vujicic (read: Voy-a-chich) is a man with no arms and legs since he was born.
He will reach at 30th years old position. He is a speaker who has
inspiration and motivation; he’s typically a person who always trusts to his
Bible and his God. You can imagine how sad he was when he realized that he has
no arms and legs. What he thought, what his parent thought, what his neighbor
did either. I understand if he blamed to God about his body. But, the reality
said no. Now, he’s one of the best motivator. Don't admire him so quickly; you
have to know what he has done with his life. He has succeeded at struggling. I
think, he has three aspects that hero should have. First is about struggle
without giving up. Second is about gratitude to God. Third is about willingness
to always develop skills. I will explain about it.
Chapter
one is about struggle without giving up. It’s based on his experience in life.
When he was born, I am sure that he didn't know anything about his body. But,
when he grew up and became a kid, obviously he knew and he felt the bad effects
of that situation. His friends shouted him as an alien; nobody wanted to be his
friends. It was hard for him to live his daily activities caused of his no arms
and legs. He had to ask his family to help him, either for ate some food or
took a bath. The good thing is, he didn't give up. I am trying to understand
him about the situation and his feelings at that time. Hard. When I read his
book, “Life Without Limits”, and he said that he would suicide in his bathroom.
Luckily, it didn't happen. He wrote on the book that when he tried to suicide,
he remembered the face of his family in sudden. He thought, what his family
feel if they find his body was already dead. Then, he decided not to do that
stupid thing. From that situation, Nick Vujicic had motivation. He didn't give
up, because he had the purpose in his life. He wanted to save people in the
world, to be not giving up like him before. That could be example for us. We
shouldn't give up. When we are giving up, what our beloved people will feel
about us. You have to know your purpose in life. Mine is for making my beloved
people to be happy and proud of me. That’s why I always try not to give up,
then.
Chapter
two is about gratitude to God. I don't think that everybody has his or her
religion. Maybe, some people are atheism. I don't care. I will write from my
perspective in my life. I have religion. I am Christian, and I trust to God.
Same with Nick Vujicic, he has religion. Something that he always remembered
when he felt that his life was very hard is his God. His family was very nice
to him; they always supported him, to live his life happily. When Nick was
down, his family pulled him to get better. It happened when Nick felt that
nobody liked him. Then, he realized. His family is from God. God took his
family’s role to always support him. I write this based on someone who has
religion. Because of Nick’s understanding on God’s grace, he always does the
best with his life. He wanted to thank God by his role in the world, to
motivate people. It could be our other example. We have so many things. It
comes from God. The Bible also said that we have to spread the love to the
world. To tell people that we have God that always protects and loves us.
Chapter
three is about willingness to develop skills. Why I chose this aspect?
Everybody has his or her own talents. Everybody is special. While, the
differences is about how much we want develop our talents. Nick Vujicic teaches
us something. He tells us to always develop ourselves. It’s based on his
experience in life. When he started to be motivator, at first, the audiences
were bored of his speech. They didn't understand about what Nick Vujicic’s
speech on the stage. That reality didn't make Nick Vujicic give up to speech in
front of many people. It made him be better. He prepared himself on his speech
harder. He could take critism and suggestions from others. He always tries and
tries. He thought if he didn't force himself to be better, he would not get his
role at motivating people. He develops himself to be better, so the people
could get about his speech. I think, that aspect is good for us. We should have
a willingness to develop our skills. We should not satisfy about what we have
already got.
Okay,
then. I think my writing is enough. That’s all three aspects that make Nick
Vujicic be one of my heroes. Maybe, my aspects here are different with others.
It is unusual. But, this is my real reason about what I feel about Nick
Vujicic. There are so many heroes in this world. Heroes are based on what they
can affect us to be better. That’s the role of hero from my opinion. Thank you.
