Fame and Success

What is fame and success actually about? I’ll tell you what it is about, success is when you have reached your own career goal, if you have written your own book, completed a marathon or if you have grown a little kitchen garden. To be successful you have to do something on your own. Success is about realizing your own dreams and accomplishing your own personal goals through your life. If you are famous like Michael Jackson or Madonna, you are known by many faces, for something you have done or you have a specific talent that people know about.

If you are famous, you often make a lot of money, which can be a benefit in many material things such as houses, cars, and money for travels and leisure activities. In other words, if you are famous, you are a familiar face, so if you for example is going down a street, you will maybe get a positive experience with attention.

But of course, when you are famous, there is also a “flip side of the coin”. I don’t think that the life as famous was easy for the biggest stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna, they were/is probably persecuted or stalked by their fans and privacy life is often not the part of being famous. When births, deaths, divorces, illnesses or a mistake comes in the papers or in the social medias, then fame can be hard sometimes.
