Icons and Heroes Defined

What does icon mean?

The dictionary on my phone has five meanings of icon depending on the words' use.  Well here on my blog, an icon means none of that defined in my phone's dictionary and instead takes its modern definition from the wikipedia which says that an "icon" is in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.

Ok, so it says symbol so I my dictionary had it right after all.

What about heroes?

Heroes is the plural form of hero. Kidding!  A hero or heroin for a female is again from my phone takes this meanings:




Taking these meanings, icons and heroes are just synonymous with each other.

Anyway, I will be posting here different personalities or even things that influence me the most and even to the point of changing my thoughts, words, actions, beliefs, etc etc.

How to Prepare Your Young Boy to be a Gentleman

My son just turned five years old last month.  Now before I go on I want to let everyone know that I'm blogging this because I am still feeling shocked, awed and excited all at the same about the greatest news in the entire universe this week.
