"In this world, only the strong survive. I know it's hard out there ... We got problems, but believe me when I tell you, things always get better. God don't like ugly, and God don't like no quitters. You know what Billy Holiday said, "God bless the child that can hold his own." You got to stand strong, and when these bustas try to knock to out of your place, you stand there till they face. You tell them ; hold on, be strong."

-TuPac Shakur

Qualities

Even though 2pac is gone, died, maybe the way he wanted, or maybe not; his lerics contained some of what I am teaching on this site. He reminesces on what he went through in his life, and how he surivived the rough streets. He tells a great lesson in that you have to hold on and be strong.

Now, let me tell you about myself. I am denied the little things in life right now, because of my "attitude". I have lost interest in school, and feel that it can't give me anything I want. Because I don't "succeed" in school, my parents don't give me anything I ask of them. I am really into video games, but my parents won't get me any, trying to use that to convince me to do better in school. My time on the internet (, to update this website,) is limited because they won't put a phone line into my bedroom, where I spend most of my time. So you see, because of my "attitude", my life seems screwed.

The reason I don't cave-in to their demands, of succeeding in school, is because I am strong, and I feel that everyone has to go on their own path. I don't think that school is needed on my path. I can still keep a straight mind, because I am strong enough to wait for something better to come along. Don't think that it is easy, though. It is not easy, but for me, it is survivable.

Now, lets take a look at someone else who is succesful as a hero. He is someone you should know, Hercules. The one from the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys show on WGN, USA, and FOX.

Lets look at his qualities...

His first heroic quality is that he is a gentalmen to women. He treats them with the most respect he can give.

The second is that he keeps striving for a better world. He never gives up on the people, and always tries to save the world if possible.

The third is that even though he is stronger and better skilled of fighter than anyone else, he still doesn't think of himself as better than any of the people. He still considers himself a person, even though he is a God, and could rule the world from Olympis. He still takes time to help people in trouble, and keeps in contact with the world.

The fourth and most important is :

He almost always tries to comprimise. If a monster or group of thugs try to kill him, he almost always tries to avoid it. The most important lesson is that he doesn't want to fight, and tries to avoid it.

A True Hero doesn't fight unless it is absolutely unavoidable.
