Global Q&A: ‘Have you ever done anything heroic?’

Andrea Monedero, 27, Architect, Bangalore, India: For me, heroism is a word that has evolved with the course of time. Today, to do something heroic is closely related to the word inspiration, written in caps and bold letters—something that awakens the soul and clarifies the right path. Before, it was about imagining extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. Today, it is about seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Considering this approach, I could say I try to do something heroic every day. (Courtesy of Andrea Monedero)
