The conscious hero, that's what historians said about jose rizal. This month of this year is his 150th birth anniversary. Filipinos celebrate this occasion all over the country.
Are there any unconscious heroes? IE when someone in history put up all his effort to fight for something, and did not realise what he did would make him someone respectable in history? For all great people, success is not incidental, only failure is. Meaning any success has to be accompanied by a set of preconditioned efforts put in by the pre-hero, and a certain character that would take him to where he would be. Now, if he failed after all the effort, then history was not kind to him. Just like a painter, he could be an unknown painter all his lifetime in spite of his talent and effort, but became famous after he passed away, people recognised his effort, at whichever time history chooses. Or he may be just unknown thru-out history, at which case he's just an unsung hero. if he's conscious of his effort, and did not achieve what he was driven to achieve, he could very well blame that on not hitting it on the right time and right crowd. but if someone who was mediocre and by all his luck, he was meagre effort did hit the jackpot and he became famous, then he could be termed as an unconscious hero - a hero not by his choice but by, others'.
yes - many people want to be in that same situation.
so after all, whatever effort one puts in, one consciously expects a return.
