Being famous is the ambition of so many of our population it seems.
What they don't seem to get is that you have to be famous FOR something. Doing something unique (land speed record), doing something beautiful (Mona Lisa or great singer), doing something useful (invent jet engine). Being famous without doing anything out of the ordinary is not being famous it's being a celebrity - an empty object of zero value.
What makes me sad os these young people are not taken out and shown what REAL fame is about - hard work, dedication, effort, self-respect. They think it's easy and no-one seems to be showing them that it isn't.
No thank you. Anonymity suits me fine.
wouldnt mind the money but would hate the invasion of privacy.
I suppose fame would mean you have to give up so much of the things you love because of the media attention ... imagine the sunday papers after you'd been to a club on a sat night???
I'd be quite happy to be famous for doing something amazing for humankind - a cure for this or that, an end to some evil...
I'd rather chew my own leg off.
I would rather stick my dibbler in a mincer.
I wouldn't even want to be famous for doing something astounding for the good of the planet. I'd hate to walk down the street and be stared/pointed at. I wouldn't want to have a lot of money, because it always seems to go hand-in-hand with infamy if not fame. I'm happy(ish) as I am, thankyou.
how are we describing famous ?
Can't deny it..i have an ego..so yes..I'ade love to be famous !!
i suppose it depends on what i would be famous for... finding the cure to Cancer and the solution to making world peace work is something i could handle being famous for.... but if you mean famous in a celeb kina way.. then that has no interest.
I'm a VERY private person, and have always been, so would hate people to be looking into my every move and knowing things about me before i even did. not only that i hate being centre of attention too. rather be one of these people that view the world from the corner of the room.
If I was to be famous it would have to be due to a worthwhile achievment, preferably something to the benifit of mankind.
Having said that I'd miss being able to walk to streets unrecognised. Therefore it would have to be something really good and not for the attention seeking that so many 'Z' list 'celebrites' crave. That's not fame that's just crass and what these people don't seem to realise is that once the press who created them no longer make money from their antics and photos then they become expendable.
