My father, my hero.
MY FATHER, MY HERO:

____________________________________________________________________

My father is not a celebrity; he is not such a recognizable face. My father is not a national hero; he is not a multi-millionaire. My father is just an average quiet man, whom I honour and respect.

My father was born in 1954, in the small South-Indian state of Kerala. He was the fourth child of my grandfather (late C.M. Thomas). My father managed to succeed well enough in classes to pursue education at Ranny College (Affiliated to Kerala University). In college, he majored in physics and soon went to Bombay, looking for a job. There he completed a financial accounting course and thus received a job offer (for secretary) in Saudi Arabia. He arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1980, vastly different from the one we see today.

While in Saudi, he met my mother, who was working as a nurse in one of the hospitals there. They got married in India and started their married life in Saudi Arabia. Soon after that, he got a job offer as an accountant from one of the branches of Nissan Diesel. He has been a faithful employee of Nissan Diesel for over 20 years now. In the past 20 years, he received many awards and promotions in appreciation for his dedicated service. Presently, he is working as the manager of one the three main showrooms of Nissan Diesel in all of Saudi Arabia. My mom on the other hand, is now the 'Deputy Nursing Director' of one of the best private hospitals in the Kingdom. Both my father and mother, hold high executive positions and are a great help to the South-Indian community is Saudi Arabia.

My father is a very respected person, both in India as well as in Saudi. In his company, he has a staff of 25 people, working directly under him. My father is a truthful and straight-forward person, who has excelled due to his very unique leadership skills. He has also been a great help/support to many friends & relatives there. I truly believe that people like him

    Everybody has or had a father at some point in their life. Some people may take their fathers for granted and others will not.

Whether you can tell it or not, they will always be there for you even if you are opposites. In Brad Manning and Sarah Vowell’s narrations about their fathers, they both have unique relationships.

He works selflessly to provide for my brothers and sisters all our necessities and goes the extra mile to ensure that we have everything we need to be successful. He always is there for me when I need Him. He would literally drop whatever He is doing just to hear me rant or if I need a shoulder to cry on. He never belittles me or my problems and insecurities. He constantly reaffirms me of my potential when I feel just like garbage. He is always telling me I am destined for greatness, I am priceless and worth more than the world to Him. Even when I hear Him tell me these things over and over I believe Him because He is extremely genuine. It is actually because of Him that I want to help people with my life.

He never looks down on people in a worse position than Him, He always calls other people our brothers and sisters.…

    This book is about 1stSgt. Kasal’s life leading up to his most honorable moment while in the battle of Fallujah. The book starts out by telling how 1stSgt. Kasal grew up in Afton, Iowa. He grew up on farm like most other families in his hometown. But with farming becoming obsolete in the shadow of large corporations, Brad Kasal already knew by junior high that he didn’t want to slave on a farm to barely scrape by like his father. He already had the Marine Corps in his sights. January 1984, Kasal left his hometown of Afton, Iowa and got a plane destined for MCRD, San Diego. Kasal shined right away and became a squad leader and was meritoriously promoted to Private First Class by graduation and instructed that he was going to indeed be a grunt like he wanted. After graduating as the honor graduate in School of Infantry, Kasal was stationed on Camp Pendleton with 2nd battalion, 1st marine regiment. He was a PFC in Weapons Co. as a Dragon gunner. Two months after checking in with his unit, Kasal was again meritoriously promoted. Kasal’s first deployed to the Western Pacific on a Marine Expeditionary Unit in June 1986. Shortly after he would win an NCO of the quarter award and once again get another meritorious promotion. Kasal throughout his career would consistently pick up meritorious promotions all the way to Sergeant Major. By March of 2003 when Operation Iraqi Freedom started, Kasal was 1stSgt of Kilo Co. 3d Battalion, First Marine Regiment. While still 1stSgt of Kilo, they were part of the second attempt to take back Fallujah in November of 2004. The mission was to take back Fallujah by getting rid of any insurgents left in the city. Because there were innocents still within the city limits, rules of engagement meant to not fire unless fired upon or if the enemy is seen with a weapon. This made things very difficult. It would have been very bad politically to go in and just blow up everything that moved, so instead…

    I learned from my father everything that I know about leadership. My father was a good leader that treated people with love and respect. His employees loved him because he had a servant heart and he always motivated them to grow educationally and financially. He did not want to see any of his employees suffering because they were in need of money. I remember that one of his employees was living in a second floor and the stairs had no handrails and that employee had children. My father gave him the money to…

    Everyone has a different definition of a hero. Mine is a person who has impacted my life, or lives in general. They are selfless and genuine people who care about others more than themselves. A hero has no gender, size, or age. Anyone is capable of being a hero, but it’s very rare to find someone who possesses all of the qualities. People like a war veteran, a public figure, or an everyday person are all people who fit my definition of a hero. Irena Sendler, Tyler Joseph, and my mom are prime examples of what I think a hero is and should…

    Kalin inspired me through his leadership skill and the way he thought like no others would think which made realize that I was put in a similar situation back home. I used to do the accounts of my friend’s business and he used to tell me how the business is going and asked for help because the business was going in a loss. He was and still is the leading karate institute in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E and is one of the first karate institute to open up in U.A.E. when I learned more about his business I understood why was the company going under loss, they had never increased the price of the services they provided since 2004 so I told him to increase the price same as the other karate institutes in the locality. It wasn’t easy to just one fine day increase the price so I suggested that we can do a survey in which we ask for his students suggestions. Surprisingly the students said that this is the only institute that ask for suck low price for the services they provide and they told that they would be willing to pay more because they were the best in the whole of Abu Dhabi. As a result of the suggestion he was able to bring it back to profit and opened 3 new branches more. Like Kalin I was able to think differently and was able to help my friend.…

    Cleverness, Uprightness, Humbleness and Patience, those traits are within you. You gratefully shared your knowledge to everyone who were dreaming for a prolific and a successful future. No one can reach each other's goals without having you leading their ways, guiding their minds, teaching what's right and helping them to dream on something that is bright. Indeed, according to a Great Teacher, Confucius- "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.", because if you dream on something and really determined to aim it, you will surely realize that the teachings of our instructors are very important and will apply it in our lives.…
