We define ourselves by who we chose as our heroes. My hero is someone you probably never heard of, who is my hero, not for what he accomplished, but what he utterly failed at (see below). If I may be so bold as to suggest a hero for you, look to the most important character of the most popular series of children's books of the 20th Century. No, I am not referring to Harry Potter, but to the Oz series by L. Frank Baum. In particular, read the second book of the series - The Marvelous Land of Oz. I will say no more.
