Assignment 2-2

For this assignment, I've chosen Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Hugh Hefner as my 3 icons. Most people know these 3 men and know what they have done, therefore they are iconic in my mind. Bill Gates is the chairman of Microsoft and the third richest person in the world. He is one of the best known entrepreneurs of the personal computer industry. Donald Trump is the chairman and CEO of the Trump Organization and has become quite the celebrity through the years. He has been seen in several magazines as well as had parts in many television commercials along with his own "reality" show. Hugh Hefner is a magazine publisher and best known for his Playboy magazine. He is still the chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises.

Discussing why I chose these icons and what they mean to me go hand in hand. I chose these 3 men because they represent something bigger than their name or television show. In my mind they represent a person's own desires and what can happen if someone is truly passionate about something. Obviously these 3 men had to work very hard to get where they are today. Hard work has definitely paid off.

These 3 icons are motivation to me. If I work hard and find something I am truly passionate about, life could lead me where I want to be. This goes for anyone who has a dream or desire. There are several other people out there, men and women, that are just as successful as these 3. Honestly, these are just the first 3 that came to mind. Like I said before, they represent more than just a name or company, they represent the will and desire of a human being to strive for what they want in life and to eventually realize that dream.
