Researching Heroes of Peace

Our research was based not as much on what 
world heroes of peace have done as on HOW 
they accomplished their incredible deeds. Our 
goal was to see if their techniques could 
discovered, quantified, and taught to others. 
We were successful!

These findings were then entered into a giant 
matrix. Within a few years of research, 
common behavior characteristics were 
revealed showing HOW our greatest heroes
of peace:

     *Accomplished their many tasks under 
adverse conditions. 

     *Encouraged positive change through 
examples of excellence. 
 
     *Guided their actions based on internal 
values, not on how their adversaries treated 
them. 
 
     *Did not allow hardships to distract them 
from their goals. 
 
     *Peacefully handled conflict.

A few more years were devoted to teaching
these concepts to people of various age
groups, cultures, educational backgrounds,
and economic status. The results are
amazing! We found the wonderful
characteristics of our world’s heroes of peace
can be taught. This provides you the
opportunity to embrace these characteristics
in your life enabling you to become a role
model of peaceful conflict-resolution
techniques. Perhaps you could be our next world hero of peace.

Learn to Think Like a Hero! 

     *A solution to a problem must not 
interfere with the larger goal. 

     *The only time we can ever fail is if we quit. 

     *Obstacles are opportunities for growth 
and must be enthusiastically confronted. 

     *Each day is a battle for control; not for 
control over others, but for control over 
how we respond to them. 

     *Diversity may be the most valued and yet 
untapped resource in any organization. 

     *Demeaning others gives them power to 
rise above you. 

     *It's not what happens to you that matters; it's 
how you react to what happens to you that 
determines your character. 

     *A true leader serves as a spokesperson for 
those less able to speak for themselves.

     * Your behavior is always your responsibility
and must be determined from your values and the
kind of person you want to be, never from how
others behave toward you.

     *You will recognize and overcome your 
anti-social instinctual behavior. 

     *You will learn to live by a value system 
followed by our world heroes of peace value 
guiding you through life and crises situations.
