Why do we wait till in death to appreciate our Heroes?

Mohammed Ali was famously a person who could make a stage out of anything. Even his weigh-ins turned into acts worthy of Carnegie Hall. But on April 28, 1967, the U.S. government handed him the biggest stage of his life.
- Rolling Stone.
From the above it shows that heroes like Mohammed Ali are never appreciated while they are still living amongst us, is only in death that they are remembered and it is only then you see documentaries about their life and times, long speeches about their achievements will hit the media, but no body hears about them or appreciate them while alive, i think it is not a welcome development and should be redressed, our heroes should be appreciated more while they are alive to also encourage the young ones to aspire for greatness. What is your take on this issue?

Because many believe for one reason or another that their heros will always be there. And many have their own lives to live, thus forgetting about persons like Mohammed Ali.
It's an interesting question you've asked because it made me think of Jesus Christ as being a HERO, who is the foundation of Christianity, yet the masses and even a great many Christians have forgotten about him
