Hero Help

I'm one of those people who thinks that we all need heroes in our lives. Heroes inspire us, they show us where we can be better, they show us that things we thought were impossible are in fact within our grasp, and they teach us what we need to do to grasp them.

One of my heroes is my Father for many reasons, but one thing I will mention here - he worked hard to support his family, even doing honourable jobs he didn't enjoy because he took his responsibilities seriously. I hope some of that has rubbed off on me. That's what heroes do for us, we hope that by being associated with them that we will be better.

Since you are currently studying 3D animation you might like to become aquainted with some of the heroes of animation. I hope that some of these will inspire you to be better. Better at animating, and better all round.

You can find out more on the Disney Legends website here:

One thing they all have in common, like my Dad, not one of them took the easy way out, and that's how they earned hero status. Heroes are not made by looking for the easy path - work hard and one day you may inadvertently be a hero to someone else.

Just remember, it's not about where you are or where you started, it's all about where you are headed. Work to get a little better each day and you will get there.
