What characteristics do u think a true hero has??

There are heros with different personalities. You may call Oprah Winfery a hero because of all the money she gives to the needy. A true hero has love, kindness and respect.

I don't believe heroes are people who have been amazingly generous with their time and energy to make other people's lives better, or safer.
A hero is a person who does a selfless act, THAT PUTS THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE, trying to help someone else in a particular crises.
Key words: selfless act. life in jeopardy. specific crises.
Years ago an Air Florida crashed into the Potomac River, less than a mile from the White House in D. C. It was in the middle of the winter and it was cold and snowing. A spectator, Lenny Skutnick, jumped into the river trying to save the passengers that were screaming for help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenny_skutnick He's a hero.

Every body have the tendency to be a hero. If some kind of a bad situation occurred, almost anyone will jump to help. It's inherent in every human being. Heroes are persons who were at the right place / right time.

They are honest and when they give their word, they keep it.
They practice what they preach and set a good example for others.
They treat everyone with respect regardless of how obnoxious some people can be.
They are strong and wise spiritually, doing all they can to make others happy but not at the expense of compromising their beliefs.
That describes Jesus, my Hero :)

I think heroism is instinctual. You might be the next hero. You never know what you are going to do. I jumped into a flood to help a woman and her kids and it never crossed my mind that I couldn't swim, but I did that day.

Concern for giving a good example to others.
Walk the talk--behave in an heroic fashion.

They help people without even knowing they helped a great deal.
or in some cases.
They work their heroic 'magic' in the background.

Disregard for one's own safety, instead placing the needs of another's above yours.
