ícone My hero
 

My hero.This is the name of an article published on a nationwide magazine, which has presented many valuable reports to the readers.

Below the title of the article it could be read:

Everyone has an idol like this: instead of flying or losing lightning, his superpower is to pass on values that shape our character and accompany us throughout life.

Then, the journalists showed several reports of people talking about their special idols - these heroes have left them an immeasurable contribution to life.

They have left good examples, good values. They have left a reference for conduct that has allowed them to go through life with greater safety.

The stories are just beautiful, simple, thrilling.

One of them, from an eighteen-year old girl, said this:

My grandfather left his family when my father was five years old. Years later he appeared in our house, old and sick.

My father took care of them until his death. That day, I swear to do the same: never abandon this man so generous: my father, my example, my hero.

Realize the beauty of this brief narrative. Imagine the great example this father is leaving for the future generations!

An example of love, devotion, forgiveness.

Children raised in homes that have presented these kinds of elevated references, honorable, are much more likely to become men and women of good.

The parents of this new era must have the will of becoming heroes to their children, heroes of dignity, honesty, brotherhood.

If children find their idols at home, they may be less influenced by the idols of the moment, by the instant icons of today, so dangerous.

If it is natural for children, teenagers and young people imitate what they judge interesting, that this imitation may have, within the family, an inexhaustible source of top quality.

Despite the will, they must have the dedication and effort, because to be a real hero it is necessary to dedicate, plan the actions. Build at home a source of good references in everything.

The example lived within the walls of a home has an unstoppable force in building the character of a child´s soul.

Do not expect perfection from the parents in any way. In fact: accepting the failures and the deficits is also an important part of building a hero.

Heroes are not perfect beings: they are beings who seek for perfection, day after day, battle after battle.

Parents have this goal in your minds: to leave, every day, year after year, a garden of good references to your children.

These examples will have the strength to modify the next generations, because if they are strong enough, if they mark the life of children, they will certainly go through the grandchildren´s life, and the great grandchildren, etc.

That parents leave beautiful story and beautiful memories that will always be a great light to guide their children in times of difficulty.

These are the heroes of our times: men and women of good who will leave a legacy of memorable examples, of lessons that can never be overlooked.
