For most people,being famous is a dream which they have.But only few of them perhaps come true. I think that not all person will be famous.We can find that famous people have their own qualities .Such as Kobe who has a special gift in basketball,Li lianjie who is good at Kungfu and so on. If you want to be famous,you must have some specialties which other people don't have.Did you have it?

I want to be a famous writer, and the reason why I want to be a famous writer is because I know that my name lives more in infamy as a writer than it ever will as a singer, musician, actor, or athlete. Think about Chaucer, Dante, Homer and so many other writers are still known to this day, but how many singers, musicians, actors, and athletes are known from a thousand years ago? I can't think of many. The reason why writers live on, is because their work is on paper and stone and the memories of the people who have heard the stories, but it is not that way for singers, musicians, actors, and athletes. We know musicians from as far back as maybe six hundred years ago, but that is as far back as they go. I don't want to be just a famous writer, I want to be an epic legendary writer, I want my name and writing to be know 1000 years from now.

No I don't want to be famous, because if we become famous then we cant lead our private life happily. Take for example film stars and sportspersons, if they go outside then public will catch them. So celebrities can't enjoy private life peacefully.

No thanks! I value my privacy too much, I won't give it up for a little fame. It feels good to be normal. You don't have to pretend you are someone else just to please other people. You don't have to be followed by paparazzis. Your moves are not scrutinized by the public. To me life is great for a simple person. Have a nice day!

I would never want to be famous. I value my privacy greatly, and I do not like attention. There are some things I would like to do with my life that could generate that kind of attention, but if it happens, I am definitely going to use a pseudonym!

Of course I want to be famous in a good way. Perhaps in literature since I love to write.

I don't want to be famous. The fame may not bring me fortune, however, it may bother my personal life so much. I will not have a normal life when I go out because people will pay attention to me. I don't like this feeling. I want to have my own life which won't be disturbed. I love China

I’ve always had ambition of becoming a great writer because I love to write and it would be fabulous to make a lot of money doing it but my intent would not be to become famous. I would not like to become well known; it would be the end of my privacy and I don’t think I would handle that too well! Wealthy yes, famous…Not so much… (LOL)!

I never wanna become a famous personality. i want a better lie.. Famous brings not only happiness but also danger, once if i am famous, the others who doesn't like it will always try to damage the fame, so it will fall again.. So, if i'm not famous, i won't have to fall anywhere. I just like to live the life in it's way what God has given to me !!

Nope, I never wanted to be famous, because I think fame also has a lot of disadvantages that people don't think of. I really do not think it is for me.

emm in really i dont want to be famous because i think when you become a famous person it's hard to take everywhere you want to go because everyone always keep watching on you worst than that they can follow you whereever you walk in general place or in mall,

I do not recall wanting to be famous. I did want to act when I was a teenager, but not to be famous. I had done some acting in high school and thought it would be a fun way to make a living. I never pursued it though. Mostly I think being famous is a big headache: people always bothering you when you go out in public, wanting to know personal details about your life, that sort of thing. I am too private a person to care for that.

i don't want to be famous. i want to be who i am which is myself. famous people have problems with the media always following their lives. i want to live comfortably in my own self with no attention placed upon me.

I'd rather be rich than famous & rich at the same time... Being rich, I can buy everything and still have my privacy. Being rich and famous, I can do nothing without anyone trying to figure out what I'm up to. It'd be a pain in the behind.

No thanks, I definitely don't like being in the limelight and I do like my own private space and time! I think with huge fame comes huge responsibility! I don't like the idea of having photographers following me wherever I go, that doesn't sound much like a life to me! In terms of having any gifts or talents, I'm not sure that I do! I am learning to play the piano right now but I will never be good enough to become a concert pianist! On careful reflection I definitely would not like to be famous! Andrew

No I do not want to be famous. I do not want to loose my privacy. Everyone will be up my activities, criticizing me etc. I do not like it!

At some point in your life, you would want to be famous. You want shrieks of fans, the adulation of lots of people. You'll want the financial benefits of being famous. But, looking at some famous people, you will feel some emptiness in them. Simple things, like walking leisurely in a park, malling or window shopping - they can't do these peacefully, unlike us, nameless. Better, I think, to be nameless.
