Spend some time learning from a real hero, either by listening to Penn Gillette's podcast or reading Ronald Bailey's interview:
Norman Borlaug, as the "Father of the Green Revolution," is the single human being who has saved more human lives than any other person in all of history. How many lives has he saved? My guess is easily more than billion. For his work in dramatically improving crop yields, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.
