What makes a hero? Are heroes only those who have achieved what they want to achieve or did they arise from some “special” circumstances?


A hero is:

-someone that helps others regardless of the situation.

-not necessarily have to save the entire universe from a catastrophe to be considered a hero.

-as long as he has helped someone from a problem and solved it, he is already eligible enough to be a hero.


For example, when a person helps his neighbor with a simple thing like getting his cat down from a tree, he is considered a hero.


Therefore, a simple thing like that can be done to make oneself an excellent hero to someone. Not everyone has to know that one is a hero, as long as someone knows you are one, you have already become a hero.


Heroes are not only those who have achieved what they want to achieve, they are also help others in need, without expecting anything in return.


One such example will be Winston Churchill. He contributed to his nation in many aspects, especially during the war period. He led his army to success and made many appropriate decisions for his nation. He also gave many speeches that motivated his people. Winston Churchill also achieved many honor awards by putting in his best efforts to achieve what he wants to achieve.

What challenges did Churchill face and how did he overcome it?


The mau mau uprising was a military conflict that took place in kenya, from 1952 to 1960 between.............
the mau mau ( a kikuyu-dominate anti-colonial-grp ) VS British army-cum-adjuncts

The conflict set the stage for kenyan independence and motivated Africans in other colonies to fight against colonialism. It resulted in violent divisions within the Kikuyu community.

Churchill was the prime minster and when he meet such a challenge, he would use direct action against it.
SOOOOOooooooo.....
He dispatched british troops to kenya to deal with the rebellion. Trying to retain what he could of the empire , he stated that ''i will not preside over dismemberment''

Churchill was a man of great integrity. The mistakes and failures he had were lessons that helped him to be decisive and make the right decisions. Moreover, through all his failures and unpopularity, he still maintained his self belief.

He has a powerful personality and wonderful communication skills. Which gives him the ability to influence, motivate and provide the tools and environment for others so that they can best contribute towards the goals of their community or organisation.

Winston Churchill was a man of successful attainment of the immense courage and creativity, these and his other qualities shaped the war during Britain ''darkest hours''.
