<span>Spain's conquest of central Mexico and the Andes made Spain the wealthiest and most powerful nation because of the abundance of gold and silver which it gained. This large amount of gold and silver it was able to obtain was sent to its national treasuries allowing it to become a threat to any other European competition.</span>
I would disagree.
It is not always important to be noticed, because you don't have to depend on other people's approval. If you are satisfied with your accomplishments, why does it matter if someone else is going to praise you for them or not? You should be happy, regardless of other people's opinions and thoughts.
A hero is someone who inspires you. Someone you can look up to. Someone who always tries to do the right thing all the time. Like a police officer or a fireman. Heck, even a teacher. Personally my hero is Dead Pool because he's funny. But if I'm being serious my real hero is the ones who risk their lives to recue the little kittens and puppies everyday and give them a loving furever home. :D
