SuperHeroes Rise in Tough Times

Just caught this article from Cnn.com on how the love or fancination with "Super Heroes" is on the rise once again.

It seems in the past when times where tough because of economics, people turned to "Super Heroes" for hope and inspiration. It seems that more than 70 years ago during the depression and beginnings of World War II, that such heroes as Superman, Batman, Wonder Women and Captain America became Legends. And it seems that it is again coming back.With the Success of Batman and Ironman recently, other Hero movies have been scheduled for production such as Captain America, Avengers, and Thor.

Guest Curator Jerry Robinson was quoted as saying ... ""I think heroes are back. I think you can almost chart it. The times are not so good -- we're looking for heroes."

So here are my thoughts for the end of the week.
  1. Who are your "Heroes" right now whom are bringing you Hope and Inspiration ?
  2. How might the public looking for "heroes" translate to something special with your career or business ?

Post up your Comments. I would love to hear What you all have to say.

Rockie - Although I was and still am a Batman fan, he's not my hero. Jesus Christ remains as my SuperHero! Every morning, I grab my cup of coffee, sit at the breakfast table and open the Bible. I start with a prayer for Christ to guide me through the day, guide my thoughts and words and let all that I say and do be a glory to Him. I then ask for favor with all those I come in contact with during the day and of course, love, safety and protection for my family and friends. He is ALWAYS there for me. Did CNN happen to have Him on the list?? Rach
