The greatest
honour as a superstar or celebrity is to maintain good morals and live a life
worth emulating. It is a sad thing to see that people have allowed themselves
to be blinded by their achievements and popularity. Our present world and
generation are been misled to believe that with power, fame and wealth you have
the world under your feet. Yes! True word but I want to believe that after
reading this article, you will have a different view about life and fame.
The
simple meaning of fame is popularity. That is the ability to gain recognition.
Recognition is what everyone desire. But as good and unique as people desire recognition,
if it is not well managed, it will drag one to a miserable end. Sometimes we
envy the famous and wishes to be like them, but do you know that 99% famous
people inwardly are miserable? In their secret place, they pray to have a quite
life in the next generation.
The
problem is not FAME. The problem is how we manage fame. There is no world as
having recognition and having the grace to use it humanly. My own meaning of
humanly in this article is virtuously. It is just like the case of a man who
has power and refused to hurt the people who ignorantly hurt him. What I’m
implying is; as much as we stand tall in the society and the world, we must
learn to have the belief that we stand for the people and not for ourselves. Learn
to see fame as an opportunity to deprive your pleasures for humanity.
Fame
must work hand with integrity. Drop the sad belief that they don’t work
together. The people’s opinion about us matters a lot. Like the saying goes: We
can’t please people, yes! But we can please our conscience. We are born
knowing what is right and wrong? We must learn to treat people the same way we
expect to be treated.
The brightest star is living a life of integrity. As much as we desire fame, bear in mind
that there can be no friendship without confidence and no confidence without
integrity. "Integrity is the recognition of the fact
that you cannot fake your consciousness. Remember that your mind and body are
permanently integrated. If your actions contradict your convictions you are on
a path to self-disintegration, i.e. self-destruction.
It is a double honour to have both FAME and INTEGRITY. When in the
position of power, we should remember our conscience and learn to take people
as ourselves. Remember, there is no world as beautiful as having the opportunity,
resources, skill to be for the people. If you doubt it; why not give it a try. A
lot of people wish to be like you, so learn to be for them.
