I do not understand what the hero's way means. In the 21st century, the perception of a person and his role in society has changed so much that every author of a book concerning self-development considers his sacred duty to prove to us our own uniqueness and inspire feats. But in fact, we all have two legs, two arms, a habitable zone of comfort and + - the same attempts to escape from it. Any of our actions or inaction can be explained by the results of brain research or by the terms of psychology. It means we all play the same games, slightly changing the moves, starting from the initial data tampered with the experience of personal perception.

The uniqueness, the way of the hero is an illusion. I'm the most ordinary among the usual, sometimes depending very much on the opinions of others, who do not even care about me at all. When I decide to drag the banner of the hero at the very beginning of the road then I become too shallow. Hey, sister, you have not done anything yet, and have already given yourself regalia. Really?

This is not my game. I would not want to write in social nets exculpatory phrases, they say, now there will be text and I'm so scared to spread it, but you kind of support me, well we've all been there. With this phrase we are justified beforehand in front of critics, and they are likely to become ripe and write vanilla words of support or put such-now-irreplaceable likes. You want to be a hero and start with manipulation. Yeah.

When I wrote for myself, I got great texts. As soon as I began to try to write for others, the creative flow turned into a dry school essay. I would like to be criticize. Praise will not make you work harder, will not show flaws, but reasonable criticism from the experts of your business is like a dinner in the restaurant Michelin - exciting, cool and valuable.

It's terrible to invest all the money in a dubious project and burn out, to go to South Africa and accidentally get lost in the gangster district, eat fast food on the street in India and get into the ambulance of the poor district or for the first time speak on TED and forget the words. Probably, if it were necessary to make a choice between one of the options above and writing the text for social networks, the fear would be transformed into a facilitating oof and thought "how great that I got rid so easily, just with text."
