I do not think that I do not need fame. Yet if I have to make a decision which one is more important, I will choose money (and next one is power). Especially these days, having not enough money means that we can not be free from doing what we want. Unfortunately, we have to pay all of things which we eat, live, and wear, unless you leave in a community village that doesn't have money system. People say that we can be happy with least money for living. However, let us be honest. If you have enough money, you can afford many things you can do with your lovely family and friends.
I think power is similar with money. It can make things easier. On the other hand, how about fame? Fame is other people's opinion, it is not from you and not your will. If I achieve fame, it will be great definately, because every people want to be loved and paid attention. However, it is not much important to me. If I am doing my best for my work and satisfying with that, it does not matter that I gain fame or not. Think about Van Gogh. He did never know that he is going to be a famous artist in the world and will not know forever. I am not sure he had satisfied his life or not, yet it is obvious he had been very fascinated and passionated with his work. (What a great example!! hahaha!!) I mean fame is not a purpose, it is a conclusion. Therefore I am going to give up for fame. I will hand you a chance that you can make me gain fame!!
I am with you.
ReplyDeleteFame is not important in our life.
I agree and disagree with you because the money is important that is totally true but if you have just money it will finish already even i is now or after several years ...... good luck
