Be a good egg. Good eggs do the right thing when no-one’s looking, and when no-one will find out. Heroes don’t try to be heroes. Real heroes don’t aspire to be heroes, they don’t humbly and honouredly announce their heroism and they don’t seek validation when heroism comes their way, either. Only needy people need validation.
