For those of you who have been hiding, or like to avoid the flat screen tv in lieuw of other more physical activities, Heroes is a series that revolves around ordinary people finding that they have "special powers" I

It's growing in popularity worldwide and is many times the subject of conversation at the water cooler.

Suspend belief for a moment, but the cast consists of  (amoung others):

• a guy who can hear peoples thoughts
• a girl who's body regenerates when injured
• a guy who can fly
• a guy who can freeze time
• a girl with two personalities
• a guy who can be invisable
• a guy who can "replicate / copy" any of the powers of the heroes with him
  

DISCLAIMER

I am not advocating more TV here  but I found that the series is interesting on a number of levels:

It demonstrates :

• how ordinary people can reach inside themselves and reach for hero status
• how "a man doesn't need to have superpowers to be a hero"
• how it is possible on many levels to absorb the talents and optimism and hope of people around you in order to make a difference in your life and others.
  
  Its entertaining, with a message.
  
• find the hero in you
• find the hero in people around you
• Use the learnings to make a positive difference around you.
