For over 30 years, Ralph Zuranski has searched for answers to the questions:

"What is heroism?"

"How do people become heroes?"

"Who are the real-life heroes in society today?"

"Why are entrepreneur heroes so important to communities?"

As a former Special Feature's writer and photographer for the "Coronado Eagle Newspaper", Ralph created the "In Search Of Heroes" Program for High School journalism and multi-media students in 1993.

The Coronado Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, High School teachers, students and principal, Newspaper, TV stations and residents participated. The Coronado community worked together to help students identify and interview local heroes.

The goal was for students to realize the REAL heroes are moms, dads, grandparents, relatives, teachers, coaches and neighbors. These compassionate individuals invest their time, money and emotions into helping children become exceptional human beings.

In the beginning, students were matched up with local mentors. These concerned citizens helped students realize their own heroic potential. The mentors were good role models who helped students believe they too could be heroes and make a positive difference in their community.

The students and mentors worked together to create articles, newsletters, blogs, websites and videos. They spread Good News about neighbors, family members, friends and community residents who were helping others.

The "In Search Of Heroes" program is unique because it teaches individuals and communities how to work together to survive, prosper and stay healthy during natural catastrophes and social and financial upheavals. It educates parents, children, teachers and civil servants how to identify and develop their own potential and heroic leadership abilities.

They learn:

1. How to develop and use the full power of their minds through mind-mapping and brain integration.

2. How to create and nurture their own hero within.

3. The value of using biorhythms to minimize accidents, injuries and mistakes while optimizing their performance in all areas of life.

4. How to use biorhythm and astrological compatibility reports to achieve harmonious relationships in their family, community and city.

The benefits are great when individuals create their own mastermind group based on the teachings of Napoleon Hill in his "Think and Grow Rich" book. Once they learn how to work harmoniously together to solve problems in their families and communities, the rewards are impressive and long-lasting.

The "In Search Of Heroes" program inspires and motivates individuals to make a positive difference in the lives of their family members, friends and neighbors. It teaches them how to live in harmony with their family members, friends and business associates.

Spreading "Good News" about local heroes is a solution to FEAR and depression. This powerful program empowers individuals and inspires them to be proud of their community. They become part of the solution because they are solving their own local problems.

"Heroes and Heroines, rise up because the world needs you NOW!"
