Yeah well the thing is Gandalf’s quite a hero though. The article doesn’t say “be the Samwise Gamegee”, or “be the r2d2”.
Cause these guys, despite having their own fanbase of introverts don’t get half the recognition they deserve.
Helping others is a fine narrative, just make sure you’re the hero in that story, otherwise you won’t get the credit for your achievements…
- timoth3y 5y ago> The article doesn’t say “be the Samwise Gamegee” ... I've always thought there is a strong case to be made that Sam is the hero in LOR. He's really the only one that has a fully-developed character arc and who grows as a person (well, as a hobbit). Of all the characters, Sam's journey most closely follows what Campbell outlined as the classic Hero's Journey.
