Living with Attitude: the Hero in Each of Us

Where do heroes come from? When do they live? How do they shape human history or leave a legacy of courage, inspiration and faith? What are their flaws? How do heroes fail? How do they triumph? This book is written to say that heroes are in each of us. They live each day in our lives, as we try to live each day with attitude. Certain key values and attitudes vault ordinary people into a role of hero in history. This book is a collage of brief biographies of such people who have shaped and have their footprints in history.
