I dont think fame is something nice or pleasant. you can expres yourself in many different ways and you're not famous. So, I dont think it's connected with succes either. And, secondly, in my opinion famous people aren't happy in most cases. But, if someone is happy for what he/she is doing, and she/he is famous about it, I'm not judgeing anybody.
I think that being a famous person isn't so good, because they always have to hide from reality... They don't have much free time and if they go out for a drink or something,everybody that sees them shout to everyone - like for example: "O, look, it's Britney Spears!!! WOW!!" and they all want to have their autographs... And thieves frequently steal valuable things from them. I agree with Sanja, because I also think that rich people are not happy in their lives. I mean, you can also be happy with normal family and good job. You don't have to be rich to be happy, because with money you can't buy friends, family, love, respect, happiness... And about rich people in Slovenia... I think they are just some selfish, silly, handicapped people, because they always think only about themselves...But thats just my opinion... Nice blog by the way! Keep up the good work :P
Well done, Sanja and Jimmy! You broke the ice. I see you have a lot to say.
Although I agree with most of your ideas, ... Uops, I won't say it now. It's too soon. Let's wait and see what others think.
I think that no one is going to write a comment =P They forgot about it and I don't blame them... I also forgot to tell few thinks about fame in the first comment, so now I would like to add just one thing...I think that rich people have many bad manners and lot of them get into troubles (drugs, alcohol etc.)And sometime they even die, because of overdose...
I agree, almost every famous person is addicted with drugs, even the ones we couldnt even think of doing that. Make-up hides it all. And I forgot to mention the fotomodels, some girls like to watch and say they are so perfect and "Boohoo why am I so fat and so not-45kg-weight" I think this is the cause of many anorexic, bulimic and too skinny girls all over the world. Also, this is a big problem, someone should get sued on this one :P (that last thing was a joke- even if you might think it's good)
Actually i think you started to exaggerate a little bit. Things that are happening in the famous world can happen in unfamous world even more. For starters, if Britney Spears goes to jail, all of a sudden people will talk what a criminal she is and she will be forced to be nice and good so she doesn't loose her fans. There is also the fact that all the time you were talking about alive famous people. What about Prešeren or Frank Sinatra. Or dead presidents and Arhimed. They all are famous and people can't effect on their lives. Because they're dead of course. But none of them had problems with drugs of self-confidence. We missed the point of being famous. Some are famous for good or bad things they did in their lifetime, not just for singing or acting. I wouldn't mind being famous as long as I were dead by then. Or if I had my friends, who wouldn't care if I am famous or not. Hovewer, i despise all those who are or want to be famous for money and to be more self- confident. That would be all from me for now.
I wonder who - is (we will try to change your display name). Anyway, excellent observations!
No don't do that! I like my display name. And if you are anonymous you can't become famous. hehe
hey everyone
hello ! :D I finally made it ! :D
I agree with Tim and Sanja, besause I think rich people really are selfish, miserable. Just like they said. Rich people usually avoid "public life", because of paparazzi, money doesn´t make them happy.
I think that if you became famous you become irrogant and you get the feeling that you are better than everyone else. People probably became famous from working very hard in their early ears of their life and they were probably doing something they like and so they kept on working and working and working until they got their big break. Also, there is a down side of being famous. There is that problem of getting involved with illegal activity which often doesn't end very good. There is always the constant problems of being involved with drugs and guns and stuff like that, because it's "Easy Money".
helou i made it too =P
Fame is something most people are seeking for.They seek for it because they want as much money as posible, sooo they can get whatever they want.
It can be pleasant or awfull. Famous people are happy in the outside, but they are unhappy in the outside...well if you ask me. Some people say that more money you have more you can have fun in your life, but i wouldnt say that. I have a lot of fun even if im not rich and things. Sooo i say that life can get as fun as you make it for yourself.
Fame has bright and dark sides. Most of famouse people are rich, and have good life but it's hard to stand with both feet on the ground when you are under media preassure. It's hardly to go out without a company of camera, journalists and papparazi. So I would prefer being unknown than having an uncalm life. Well I'm not saying that fame is just bad or something... but I still think you must have a good nerves for it. =)
hello you know everybody say that famus people are sad and unhappy. but some of theme are not.for example footballers they have families and they have normal live.i know only for one very famus footballer who took drogs.
Being famous... hmm I think it has dark and bright sides. Famous persons always have to hide from paparazi's and reallity 'cause if they aren't carefull the whole world can find out something about their personal life.
:D
I think that famous people are really obsses with their face and body (the most of them are models and acters)- is hard to be well- known and its hard to keep it. they are not really happy I think because money don't mean everything in life, I think that the most important is true love. And someone are married with famous persons just because they are famous or because of money. and that is not so well and it doesnt make you happy.
I wounder if we will our homework from the blogs >.>xzdedy
hello everyone...well, as i can see you all have really good ideas and you have already tell a lot of things about fame and fortune. and here it is...my opinion...I think that to be famous has good and bad sides. the most of people say that money isn't everything and i agree with them but it IS a lot. you can buy many base things for survive, but unfortunately famous people are beatting that and they can not appreciate their life.
I think you all over-exaterated.If a person is rich,it doesn't always means that he/she is famous.Though fame isn't such a good thing,some people are very happy that they're famous.Like sanja said,fame isn't conected with fame eighter.We all know that fame can cme just by having famous/rich parents(Paris Hilton,etc.)I belive that fame is just a lucky coinsident for some people,although some work hard to get it! =)
Well, I personally know someone who is famous and I think he had to be successful that he is fame. So my opinion is that fame is connected whit success. He lives like other people and he is nothing special if he is famous. I think he lives a happy life because he has a fortune, but not too much. Okei...there are some exception, but I think most of famous people live a happy live.
