Today I finish up working with WeStar Power on their annual safety conference which they themed, “Super Heroes For Safety”.  On the banner they made for this event I became Iron Man (yeah right). The message to them was about how all of us can be Heroes for safety by courageously making and taking a stand for safety.   Â
That led me to this “Thought 4 the Day” on Heroes, which was shared wtih me by Korbie Tomlinson, originally posted in 2003 .Â
Heroes are important and necessary symbols of our hopes and dreams. But they aren’t Gods. They’re flesh and blood like the rest of us.!
But when the test comes, heroes react in extraordinary ways. Rising above the ordinary, surpassing what would be expected, theynever fail to inspire us to dream bigger, reach higher, and endure longer.
“My mom and dad were heroes to me. Mom stresses the importance of treating all people equally. She taught me the importance of equal rights, and she blasted the hypocrisy of not accepting people because of the color of their skin. Mom backed up her words with actions. Putting our heart and soul into something is a commitment we make ourselves. It is our responsibility to do the best we can with what we have. -Roger Staubach (former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, pro football hall of fame)
Have a Hero, be a HERO
