The term Hero is a word that gets used a lot in our society. Especially since the COVID pandemic.
Kfir Gavrieli who is the founder and CEO of Tieks some might claim that he is a Hero as he used his company and motivated his followers to sew thousands of masks for those in health care during the shortage in the pandemic. However different people have different definitions of what makes a hero.
Tieks came up with “Tieks for Heroes Program” that offered a one hundred dollars card gift to the first respondents of the sewing campaign, nurses, doctors, and military service team. Tieks Company is a popular lender at KIVA and has extended microloans to women of color worthy ten million dollars and above.
So, what are Kfir Gavrieli thoughts on what makes someone a hero? Well, a point that he is quick to make is that there are every day and heroic acts that if you look for you can see in the world around you almost every day. His definition of a hero is someone who puts someone else needs above their own. That is hard enough to do on its own but even more so when it is inconvenient.
Some people are heroes by the career they chose which we became more aware of during the pandemic. Such as Doctors, Nurses, EMTs, and police. However, during the pandemic, there were some that we do not normally think of such as the hospital janitors that are cleaning all the germs and putting themselves at risk just like other healthcare workers. With that being said it is important to note that anyone can be a hero in their everyday life. It is just caring for someone else or helping someone else. Those are heroic acts. That can be as simple as holding the door open for someone or giving a co-worker a ride to work because their car broke down. The biggest example of Heroism to him is his parents coming to America when they did not speak the language well just to give their children a better life and more opportunities.
