Nowadays very few people are capable of feats. it exploits not just what do super heroes. this is the same human actions. for example, to help the grandmother to carry the heavy bags, helping mom at home and so on. if you get in trouble enough people agree to help you. so be a hero yourself and do good. in our time is a rarity. it is very much appreciated. you should not do it for status among friends. do it for mankind and becomes the hero.
в наше время очень мало людей которые способны на подвиги. подвиги это не только то, что делают супер герои. это так же человеческие поступки. например помочь бабушке донести тяжелые сумки, помочь маме дома и так далее. если ты попадаешь в беду мало человек согласится тебе помочь. так будь героем сам и твори добро. в наше время это редкость. это очень ценится. не стоит делать это для статуса среди друзей. делай это для человечества и станешь героем.
