The Hero Within Us

     When I was a child, I used to think that heroes were strong and daring people. But then I realized that nowadays, heroes often aren’t the most widely recognized people, and superficially their actions don’t necessarily seem to be the most risky or awe inspiring. What it takes to be a hero is just courage and the will for self sacrifice for some greater good of all humanity. The definition of a hero always changes with the context and time. Heroes of the past are not necessarily heroes of present time and vice versa.  

Exceptional Eighteen

     The day I turned 18, was the day I realised how blessed I am with all the loving and supporting people around me. In the midst of flatness and despair that had been haunting over the last few months, my birthday came like an oasis, showing life is still so much precious to be grateful for. 

     If anyone ever asks me the best birthday I've ever had, it's definitely the last one. March 5th 2012, who at first seemed to be pretty dull turned out to be a day full of bliss and surprises.  What's so special about it? :)
