Others follow you, and may attempt to emulate you,

Fame may smile upon you, or it may not.

who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.

- Marilyn Monroe

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
