I look up to my heroes – My hero, Foo Fighters

I was listening to a song about heroes yesterday.

Everybody had or still has heroes in their lives, don’t they? We look up to them more then to anybody in this life, we want to be like them and follow their steps. It’s something ordinary to all the people. So today the question is: who are your heroes? Maybe some rock stars or maybe a working class hero, just a normal person.

I personally have many heroes as I admire different people because of their diverse abilities, achievements or things I’ve been impressed about. Both famous and not that famous people impressed me and I’m trying to learn from all of them - Kurt Cobain for his contribution to music even though he decided suicide is better then living, James Hetfield for passing through so many awful experiences in his life and he is still alive out there doing his best as the lead singer of Metallica, Tarja Turunen who achieved so much in Nightwish and after this period she is still accomplishing her goals. Picasso is my favorite one due to the fact that he was responsible of a whole revolution in Contemporary Art. These are only a few of my famous heroes.

Another man who influenced my life was one of my Art teachers. I learnt so many things from him artistically and, of course, as a person also. He was the person with so much patience I have ever met. My first steps in painting were given following his example. I’ll always look up to him. What’s more, I also admire my parents for being the ones who raised me up and supported me in all the things I wanted.

And the list can go on and on. Different people from diverse backgrounds may be your examples in your life, might be all you’d ever wanted to become. Maybe friends you grew up with or friends you lost – they all can be your everyday heroes.

All of them followed their dreams doing what they know best. They all fought to fulfil their dreams no matter what and they all are symbols for many people. What do we learn from all of this? We learn that we should fight for what we want, for our dreams no matter which are those or what steps out in our way. Fulfilling them may be the hardest thing we’ll have to do in our lives, but fighting for it will be rewarded sometimes soon.

There go my heroes, watch them as they go…
