Great read... though a bit on the heavy thinking side.

People want to be famous because there is just a drive in them that things its awesome.

My youngest daughter is quite a good singer. She DREAMS of being famous someday. Why? Because that's what our society recognizes as TRUE success. If you become famous, you make millions. People want to be you. Society tells us that is when you truly "arrive" as "being somebody". And if you aren't "somebody" you're "nobody" and some people just can't handle that reality.

My advice...be you. The very best you that you can be. . Do that successfully and you are "somebody". Being famous for what you do good is so overrated...
