On the average we never seem to have enough hero&#8217;s, and we often seek them in our dreams, the theater, and on the television. <\/p>\n<p>In this coming election season, the hopes and dreams of the world seek a hero in Barack, Hillary, Fred, Ron, Dennis, Mike and Al and\/or any of the rest.  And the goal of those politicians will be to appear to be, those hero&#8217;s, to win our hearts and minds. But hero&#8217;s aren&#8217;t heros by selling themselves, but by proving themselves, not by convincing us to trust them, but by earning our trust. <\/p>\n<p>We shouldn&#8217;t be looking for the lesser of the evils, but the best hope for the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gettysburg_Address\"><br \/>\n&#8230;and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And when we seek leaders, in our politicians, or in any person during a crisis and even even in a fellow worker in our day to day work lives.
