I define a hero as someone who is willing to overcome very difficult situations to accomplish what is right, often for altruistic reasons. For instance, someone who runs into a burning building to save a baby (firemen are frequently heroes). The world defines it the same way, but their view of what is right is not the same as mine. For instance, they might define as heroes those who challenged the legal system in Massachusetts and got gay marriage legalized. They overcame long odds and did that which was difficult. But their definition of right is very skewed.

And others to run into babies and burn buildings.... That's where the whole Zen circle of life thing comes in!
