that's the essence of heroism, that the hero is always someone who is unprepared for it, because heroism is a thing impossible to prepare for. It is possible, for example, to get the hang of it, quickly run to the breach, you can get used to deftly jump on it, this is all we teach, but the most spiritual act of heroism can't be taught, it can only make. The more you before want to live, the better for the feat.
