"Every-day heroism" by Anonymous is a philosophical children's book likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the concept of heroism in everyday life, emphasizing the importance of personal conduct, self-control, and overcoming daily challenges. This instructional text serves to guide young readers in understanding that true heroism is not only found in grand acts but also in how one faces the everyday difficulties and emotions. The story revolves around a young boy named Charley Morris, who initially feels his day is "unlucky" due to a series of minor setbacks. His mother engages him in a conversation about the nature of heroism, using historical figures like Alexander the Great and Napoleon to illustrate her points. Through their discussion, Mrs. Morris teaches Charley that overcoming personal struggles—such as controlling one's temper and persevering through difficult subjects like arithmetic—can cultivate bravery and strength. The key messages focus on the idea that every individual has the potential for heroism in their daily lives by managing their emotions and taking action against challenges. The book promotes resilience and character development, urging readers to recognize their capabilities in facing both small and significant obstacles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
