In episode 52, we uncover our heroic potential by considering a reflective set of questions that pertain directly to being a hero. Heroes are essential to our lives. We begin by asking ourselves, "Who is my hero?" What is it about this person or these people that makes them so heroic, and then, ultimately, how can I emulate the skills and traits that these people exhibit, so as to be heroic, myself? What we will find is that heroes never back down from the greatest of challenges, the challenges that seem so insurmountable that many would crumble. Heroes defy their fear, stare it in the face, and then proceed with courage. The world needs more heroes. Be a hero to someone else today!

As a society, we have shifted from a culture who asks questions to a people that "tells." Asking questions is a practice, something that we get better at doing the more that we do it. In essence, the more that we put to use the act of questioning, then the better our questions will be. This is important, because good questions lead to deeper knowledge, deeper understandings, and better lives. Take it from Einstein, who pleads with us to never stop questioning.
