Fame and famous people

2. The positive aspects of fame
 Fame makes you recognized and
gives you a social celebrity status.
You are the cynosure of all eyes.
 Fame gets you fortune as you are
privileged to get priority on certain
aspects of life. Famous means you
also would be wealthy. You get
opportunities to develop.
 Your every word and action means
a lot to your fans and you establish
a virtual empire- that promotes you
more.

3. The negative aspects of fame
 On the negative side, you lose your privacy and
cannot have a normal life anymore.
 Moreover, you may be vulnerable--there are people
waiting for you-- the paparazzi, the media, your
competitors, your detractors - just waiting for one
moment to bring you down.
 We have even read of cases when famous people
got kidnapped or killed by some fanatic or for money
(e.g. John Lennon was killed by a fan of his)
 Finally, you will be living in a world that is built
entirely on your fame and name rather than your
true-self.
 Therefore, it’s no wonder many famous people do

4. Is fame all it’s set out to be?
 Everyone thinks that being famous is awesome, but
when I think about it, I just don’t get it.
 Sure, you might get rich and might not have to worry
about paying your bills anymore, but no amount of
money in the world would make me want to give up my
privacy.
 Of course there are many other perks to being a
celebrity, but are any of them really worth it?

5. Famous People Who Inspire Us
to Never Give Up
The rich and famous can become role models for
the rest of us and inspire us to follow the example
they have set.
There are people coming from all walks of life,
who have proved that by working hard and always
doing your best you may get the chance to take
advantage of the opportunities offered in life and
make a name for yourself.
Here are some examples:

8. Tyler Perry

by his father (later he found

10.  So that's about it. I'm not ranking on famous people,
just telling it like it is. I'm not famous myself, so I
really don't know what it's like, but I'd rather not find
out.
 If I don't even like the way I look in pictures most of
the time, imagine what it would be like if I was
famous?!
