Tim Tebow has overcome many different critics that said he wouldn't make it as a pro-football player. He has proven them all wrong this year with a winning record and is in the NFL playoffs. Tim hasn't been afraid to show his doubters how much talent he possesses , he has tried harder to be the best athlete he can be. I enjoy watching Tim praise the good Lord for his success. It is so uplifting to see a celebrity openly be thankful, show his Christianity to the world and acknowledge his faith.
Steve Jobs was an amazingly futuristic human being. He created the way we communicate in modern society. Who would have thought we would have such items like the iphone, ipad or ipods, downloading music and apps from the internet? He created an era of modern technology. Apple is a revolutionary company, which has more inventions to come without their incredible inventor. Steve has shown us all that a disease can't stop the passion of a determined person.
Elmo is a character I remember as a child and now my son loves to watch him on Sesame Street. Elmo hasn't lost his luster over the years, he only seems to get better with age. He is educational and fun to watch. I love to watch my ten month old son Kingston's eyes light up when Elmo is on the T.V. or when they are playing together.

ReplyDeleteGreat choices! Like him or not, Tim Tebow has become an icon for Christian athletes everywhere. Not only is he talented, but he is more than willing to put his faith out there for everyone to see. Steve Jobs has also become quite an icon. To think that one man can create so much and lead an organization so well it truly amazing.
I like your consideration of Elmo as an Icon. When Elmo’s handler first presented the idea for Elmo, he was shot down. Elmo has probably surpassed Kermit and Miss Piggy in recognition!
I love Elmo. I would probably put meeting Elmo and Kevin Clash (his puppeteer) ahead of the President of the United States
I find it interesting that you picked Tim Tebow as an icon. He has been in the NFL for such a short period of time and to see him defined is an icon surprises me.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, he has become an icon to my son. My son is bothered that he cannot pray at school but has adopted "Tebowing" so that he can get away with it.
