2. What is a Hero?
A hero is an admirable person who possesses courageous
and noble qualities.
A hero based on my definition is an individual that is
adaptable to situations, irreplaceable to their business
or community, and humble about their feats.
What is a Leader?
A leader is a person delegated to a position of
power and is tasked with organizing and
motivating others to reach some common goal or
goals.
