Manoj Bhargava, until recent years, lived a life as a philanthropic ninja. He’s humanitarian and went as far as giving 90%-99% of his company’s profit to charities and movements he leads himself for a better world. However, when we say “Manoj Bhargava”, there’s not a lot of people who recognize him for the good things he does for the world or don’t recognize him at all until someone tells them that he’s the founder of 5-Hour Energy. I chose Manoj Bhargava because he doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves for the passion and work he puts into helping others.

He was able to adjust quickly judging by his acceptance to Princeton. However, he realized that college wasn’t for him and he went back to India to become a vagabond monk for 12 years.

Even though now some people could see his business life as a violation of his beliefs, Bhargava still continues the same spiritual practice by giving his hard-earned money away in order to help others. He believes that if someone has wealth, it’s their duty to use it for the benefit of others rather than to overindulge for
“It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how you life’s story will develop” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf). Most people can deal with difficulties, but their reactions to the hardships are different. Only some people can manage their problems. We should try to manage our behaviors in tough situations. If we can deal with our situations, we can overcome difficulties easily. In the story of Farewell to Manzanar written by Jeanne Wakatsuki, the story shows how war can change humans, their life, and their ranks. Although all of the characters of her book face the same problems due to the war and the camps they had to live in, they responded to those situations differently. All of them presented

...ancer research. “The Jimmy V Foundation” was created and is forever changing cancer research today. Over 100 million dollars has been generated thus far and there will be no stopping there. James Valvano influenced us all that life has it challenges but emphasizes that dreams really do come true if you really want to grab it, take it and never let go. So how do we take Valvano’s words and use them as a stepping-stone to get back in focus in the positive direction? For Jimmy it did not matter if he was terribly weak or at the end of his life but he was able to have found strength to continue his ambitious fight. For the rest of us no matter how tired we are from a tough day at work, long day at school, or economic woes we can take what Jimmy has preached to us, and though adversity we can make changes to ourselves to better prepare us for the present, and the future.
Bharat Bhattarai is just an average guy in America, but he is the greatest hero of them all. He had to go through the toughest part of a person’s live, losing a parent. Not only did Bharat Bhattarai lose his father, he also lost the hero of his life. In some instances people can lose their mind and go crazy after losing their loved ones.

So not only was Bharat Bhattarai calm during the saddest moments of his lives change the world of his two kids with his amazing courage, he became a hero for his loved ones and did this by remembering that everything in life is not filled with hate and that many things in life can feel different with a

Whenever I read the heroic deeds performed by any woman in any part of the world, I get inspired from their story. Every woman can be a hero in their own way, even with the smallest of actions that they perform in their routine life. Only recently I was watching the movie biopic made on Neerja Bhanot, the youngest recipient of the “Ashok Chakra Award” and I couldn’t say how awe-inspiring the story was for the women out there. The most important thing I learnt from the movie was “You should not do any bad things in life and neither should you have a high tolerance for them if you see anything bad is happening around
