Super H. E. R. O Legacy

By: Anwar Mc Noo

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS THE MOST MERCIFUL

H. E. R. O
A 4 letters-word, but it has a huge and various meaning to ourselves, and still live in us and around us.

Apabila ditanya, siapa hero kamu?
Pelbagai jawapan muncul seperti Ultraman! Megaman! Spiderman! Teen Titans! Batman! Superman, sebab dia boleh terbang! Masked rider, sebab boleh bertukar, pastu motor2 diorang pun smart! The Avengers of course! Keluang man! (Patriotik betul!) Baymax! Fantastik Empat! Ayah saya!

Sangat cemburu dengan superheroes.
Yup, pada suatu sudut pandang yang tidak kita nafikan (di samping impak dan keburukan pengaruh yang selalu diperkatakan ramai orang)…kerana mereka memilih untuk menghidupkan amalan contoh, mereka semua adalah insan yang memilih untuk menjadi manfaat.  Istiqamah bermanfaat sehingga ke akhir hayat.

Jom kita lihat dari sudut itu…

As said in Spider-Man 2, “I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die in pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."

Quoted by Maya Angelou, “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."

“What does it mean to be a superhero? We’re all fighting for the better good. But, at the same time, what stands out is, as superheroes, you don't give up; you don't surrender. I think that what makes a superhero.”

-Ellen Wong-

“When you've been fighting for it all your life,

You've been working every day and night,

Maybe that's how a superhero learns to fly?

Every day, every hour, turns the pain into power!”

-Superheroes by The Script-

So, first question, have we met any hero before?
Maybe yes, and maybe we are meeting them  :)
Probably, other versions of the definition of superheroes are:
The ones that pat our shoulder and say, "All the best, I know u can do it."
The ones that mention our name in their du'as.
The ones who always be there to listen our stories.
The ones who text us and say, "good luck for your exam!"
The ones who post to our wall "Hey, happy birthday! May Allah bless you."
The ones who stick their notes to our locker or table saying  "Don't give up, you're stronger than you think."
The ones who spend their time preparing our lecture notes.
The ones who whatsapp us and say; “bro, aq dah send troop aq, all the best!”
The ones who say  "Congrats, for ur exam result!" without asking how many As we achieve and comparing with theirs.
The ones who text us "Esok kau ade interview en? Aq dah whatsapp dlm grup ex kelas kita, semua wish all the best utk kau."
The ones who thank us and say "Thanks for the inspirations!"
The ones who say "We’re doing this together."
The ones who go out day and night to ensure our bills and fees paid.
The ones who stay up all night to ensure we’re covered up with blanket.
The ones who watch us from far to keep us safe.
The ones who wake us up and say "bro, dah masuk waktu ni, jumm"
The ones who say "Ehem, esok kau ade competition kan? All the best!"
The ones who thank us and say  "That means a lot to me, I really appreciate that"
The ones who choose to share his cash and invest with the needy ones.
The ones who choose to smile with us.
And others who have heroic and realistic qualities in their actions!
And it is true that sometimes, heroes don't need capes and armors  right?
Because those are what we call costumes.

“It is not what I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me”, said by Batman.

Thanks heroes and may we meet again next time! And, becoming one of ‘em too, thus continue this legacy, maybe?
More than yes! Muka senyum. Muka senyum.
Moga kita juga dapat  istiqamah dalam memberi dan menjadi manfaat! ^.^
