Unleash the Hero in Me

We all have our own preference of an ideal hero. They may take the form of animation or human. They may be visible or not. But they're everywhere. They are people or individuals who does something for others who are in need. They're selfless; they do not ask to be paid and in one way or another, they take risks to some extent.

Now, truth be told, we all want to be heroes. We all want to do something that will dramatically impact a situation - which is what we are actually doing now. Being here in the kingdom, working and providing for our loved ones. Somewhere somehow in a corner of our minds we are hoping that this sacrifice, this heroic deed, will allow us to live extraordinary lives that we all need and worked hard for.

During last week's Toastmaster meeting, the theme, Unleash the Hero in Me, was set. It was a commemoration of the Philippines Independence Day and 'twas just about the right time when Henry Cavill had his debut in the big screen as Clark Kent. I had the (third) chance again of being the Topicmaster. Below are the questions I prepared but only the first four (4) were asked to prominent and experienced Toastmasters because we were running out of time.

• Emilio Aguinaldo said, "We cannot free ourselves unless we move forward united in a single desire." How do you think will this apply to the current situation of OFWs in the kingdom?
• If you will be a hero, what heroic deed would you do for a villain?
• If you will be a superhero, what supernatural power would you like to posses - teleport, telekinesis or foreseeing of future? Why?
• People said OFWs are unsung heroes. In that case, who do you think are the villains and how did they become one?
• What is the first step of becoming a hero?
• When do you say a hero has stopped becoming a hero?
• In an animated film, the main character, Megamind said "Destiny is not the path given to us; but it is the path we choose for ourselves." Do you agree or not? Why?
• Who is sexier? Catwoman or Black Widow? Why?

I seem to be trending as Table Topics Master. I hope to try some other roles in the coming sessions and finish my manual in the soonest possible time.

Ciao!
