Famous person command respect, authority and appreciation. By being famous you could gather many resources and lot of supporters as I can. I could share them with people in need. How about you? Do you want to be famous if given a chance? What famous person do you like to become?

Oh no, I value my privacy very highly I had never wanted to be famous. I have to admit though that it would be nice to have the perks of being famous but still be able to not publicize myself. Kinda like a VIP with lots of connections, networks, and influence but there isnt a single news article or even an online profile of me anywhere. Its a bit of an irony being "anonymously famous".

yep, if we can have it all, why not right? However, it has already been established that everything has a price. If the usual popularity, like the celebrities, price is their privacy, .. I wonder what could be the price for being anonymously famous..?

maybe you could be rewarded with a invisible trophy or at least you name will be mention but with an alias..this be to protect your privacy..like in the bible as I remember, if you help in secret and The Father above will be the one to reward you..have a nice day!

Me too, I value my privacy and maybe I dream of being famous only in my dream but if given a chance and I have all the talents and quality..I'll gladly accept..being famous really comes with a big price.If I am famous I am going to meet rich and influential person who are willing to take their share to help my favorite charities. Eventually, being anonymously famous as you mention is better and you could enjoy to live a normal life..

I do think I would want to famous. It would be a big responsibility, I do not think I want that. I think it also would be stressful. I do not like being in the public eyes. No, I do not want to be famous. Have a blessed day.

You gives high values to you privacy and want to remain normal that is why the idea of being famous is out of your mind. I too like to be anonymous famous..I like to help but like to remain unidentified. I too hate intrigues and criticism..

Yes, I agree with you, it is so nice to help people, but not be in the public eye. I just do not like to be seen. I feel like it is a private thing. Have a blessed day.

very true indeed..if you can help you do not show it like extravagant people do..such as politician they help but in return the public should show their gratitude to them in exchange to vote for them in the next election. You can help with all your hearts and the Lord will be the one to bless you abundantly.

One of the biggest issues for people who are famous, has to do with privacy. Whatever a famous person does is going to be like by some, disliked by others and hence the celebrity has to act as is expected by him/her/it rather than what him/her/it would want to do. All famous persons don't command respect and generally most have enemies that would even want to harm and kill them and their families or near and dear ones. Even the supporters can be a pain sometimes.

Being famous require you to be in the public eyes and your privacy is sacrifice. A famous person no matter what he do he is always been follow especially to the cases of celebrity artist. They are always follow by paparazzi and taking their pictures or writing in their gossip column whatever the famous stars are doing..In case of businessmen or famous rich people they are in danger to be ransom or kidnapped for money. hence, being famous have a hard price..

No, I want to be humble, I mean simple human being. Being famous have a lots of advantages and disadvantages. When you are famous everyone may like or dislike you. YOu can have what you want but the eye of the media is always on you. When you do wrong act it will curse against you. You have money but not all true friends are behind you. I just go to simple but healthy life. I think I can't find true happiness when I get famous, I still choose to have a simple life.

Yeah, being famous have a hard price to pay..and it invades your privacy..but it is the way famous live and earn from their profession..they need to face all the praises and criticism..a face and a strong heart and for being patience are some of the qualities which a famous person should have to survives this competition to be the top among her rivals..and if it is not attain.some become desperate and miserable..hence, being famous is a chance, a choice and entails a lot of discipline and productivity..

Yes, I want to become famous. I want to be a famous business person. I often dream about that, but I don't know whether I can achieve it. I dream about attending high level business meetings and running a company. I don't think I will be able to take the risk of doing that, but I just like to dream about that.

Yeah, their is nothing wrong with dream or taking a chance to be famous. We only live once here on earth and if their is an opportunity. Their is nothing wrong to try or at least accept it. Their may be a high price to pay but it really depend on the person to handle her situation if she get her pride too high and never learn to be humble. Likely, she will meet lot of intrigues instead of praises..

Being famous is a great privileges and it gives a lot of opportunities for the person to explore and share her talents to the world to see. famous of whatever field you like to be engage is great as long as you uses your own influences to gain knowledge rather than to use your status to hurt other people,

No thanks. I never dream of being famous. I do not want to forsake my private life and always under the scrutiny of the public. I think being popular invites a lot of unpleasant incidents and you will never be your real self. I treasure the life I am in now, a very private person where no one knows.

Of course you could be an anonymous donor if you are rich or helping other in that way your identity remain anonymous. Being in public eyes like the celebrity and politician require a lot of sacrifices and dedication to preserve your good images and need to present an images which is really not your real self..Hence, being famous comes with a price..

I do not care to be famous. I would like to have just enough money to be able to have the things that I need and want. Fame, you can give to someone else.

I want to be powerful, but not famous. I have a goal in my life and that is to wear a suit, a tie and to own a helicopter... I'm still far from it, but I'm getting closer and closer and as I'm still young I don't worry about it. Being famous isn't my goal, but if it comes with the power then I won't disagree... Hapy myLotting and take care.

i think most of people in the world want to be famous. being famous is a kind of success signal in our world. if i want to be a famous person i would be choose to be a professor. I can provide useful information to pulic and help them in their life. Not only in my study field also in many social items. even i became famous i would still live as ordinary person. I just want to use the advantage of being famous to do some thing for the society. i don't want to bad things and become infamous.

That is the real essence of being famous you use it to help another person or people that will benefit because of your resources, knowledge and your ability to share it with the common good. Being an teacher or a professor in a university and specialize on a certain academic or subjects. You will be respected by your students and will be remember.Even, the moment you retired from your services, your name and contributions in helping them and teaching them your knowledge will never be forgotten. You will leave a good legacy to the school and to your future students.. Good luck and keep up the good work
