Tackle Today: Who are YOU going to be? š

Ā« The Halloween Effect. Ā»
As Halloween approaches, children of all ages start to contemplate what costume they want to wear. The most mischievous children start to plan out what tricks they will bestow on those who are not kind enough to grant them a treat. Popular culture always plays a strong role in helping determine what costumes are popular. This year you will most likely see witches, Descendants and Fortnite characters, zombies, and pirates all roaming the streets Halloween night.
Another popular category of costume this year, as it is every year, is the superhero. The exact superhero may vary from year to year, but superheroes always rank extremely high. This year you will see characters from The Avengers, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman patrolling the streets in search of truth, justice, and the occasional candy bar.
The fact that our children (and even adults at costume parties) want to dress as superheroes does not come as a surprise to any of us. Superheroes have amazing abilities, fight for what is right, and overcome all odds despite whatever adversity they may face. When children see these traits on the big screen, dreams of emulating the superhero they idolize race through their minds. Worlds are conjured in their head where they become a superhero or are fighting side-by-side with a superhero.
It is never too late in life to embrace the superhero in each of us. There are certain characteristics that superheroes have that each of us should emulate in our everyday lives. By incorporating these qualities not only will we become more like the individual we imagined we would become as a child, but we are more likely to succeed in our business ventures as well. We will continue this discussion on the characteristics of the superhero next Monday.
