Hi friends, fame or money which you consider is more important for life? Without money life is miserable. If one has sufficient money he/she can fulfill many desires. With money one can have car, big house, influence in society and can travel the whole world. He/she can lead a luxurious life. On the other hand one can have various talents. He/she can write poems ,story or novels. He or she may be a good painter. He /she may be a good mathematicians or technocrats. If these persons culture their talents they can shine in their life. Once they will be famous for their works. They may not become rich people. But their fame will remain and people will remember them for long long time.

well I personally think fame is better. You will be recognized for doing something great, and you might even become rich as well. Just think... if you are famous you must attract a lot of people, right? Someone out there must want to be your business partner or something. So you can now get both at the same time. But this doesn't always happen. Even so, I still think fame is better than money. It's a lot harder to lose.

I would much rather money than fame as i am a very private person if i had lots of money i could have a comfortable and less stressfull life following my interests such as cars and travel and would have no one else to answer to.However if i was famous i would be limited in what i could do due to the press attention and we all know how the press pry into evert aspect of your personal life i couldnt put my family through that.However saying that i wouldnt mind being famous for somekind of talent such as sporting skill i would love to be world class footballer though i wouldnt commit affairs like the footballers that have recently been exposed by newspapers in the uk.

lets put it this way, fame doesnt help much if you become miserable over something. but money will certainly make the misery a little easier to handle or even work out many problems. in fact if you have enough money you become famous
like trump or howard hughs

I prefer money over fame any day because you can become famous and make lots of money and then out of nowhere you lost your fame because the public lost interest in you. At least if your making money without fame you still get to live however you can afford to live.

Both fame and money are more important in life. But I would always prefer money to fame, if I am asked to select between them.

Hello there,
I do agree with what you have to say there but I'd choose money. I don't care for fame at all really. I would rather have money and give my parents the comfortable life they deserve. I wish I had enough money so my parents wouldn't have to worry about me and my siblings and could retire early =)

True, poets and novelists might not be rich but that might be happier than rich people. Still, I would choose money over fame. I don't know what I would do if I'm famous and I think it would be more of a disadvantage for me since I am rather shy. Though money does not automatically bring happiness, I can do a lot more with money than with fame. I could afford to buy my mother a new car, to pay for my grandparents' medical bills (so that their insurance wouldn't cheap out on their meds) and afford a nice vacation for myself where I have a bigger chance of finding happiness than now.

I don't know that I would want to be rich or famous. I would like to have enough that I don't want all the time, but I wouldn't want to be filthy rich. As far as fame, I don't like being in the spotlight so I would stay away from that if possible. If I had some talent, I would do as much as I could with it, but I wouldn't flaunt it. I might attribute the work to someone else so that I wouldn't be famous but possibly my alter-ego.

Hello bhanusb,
I know money is very important for all of us as it is required to fulfill our basic needs like food,shelter but then i always dreamt to be famous in the world therefore i prefer fame on money for the reason because we cannot earn fame from money but can earn money from fame.Fame you cannot easily get as it takes many a year to get famous as you need to be liked by people and people don't accept anyone so easily but money you can always earn easily by doing any work.

Hi sjvg, I do agree to earn fame is not a easy process. It takes lots of time. Everybody can't be famous. Few become famous for their talent. If one tries he or she can be moneyed person. General people want money. Because without money we can't lead our life. Fame is for extraordinary persons.

i choose money over fame... not because i'm greedy or anything, it's just fact that money isn't everything but everything need money. As for fame i really don't need it. First if you have money and you're fame, many people will envy you and most likely you'll become a target for bad people to rob you. If you're not famous you can reduce the risk of being robbed.

I think that I would really hate to be famous. You seem to lose all your privacy and your life is no longer your own - imagine being followed and photographed all day every day, and having your whole life splashed on the pages of tabloids and newspapers! However I guess to be appreciated and acknowledged for your talent is a positive thing. I still think I would choose the money though, to fulfill your desires and most of all to travel and see the world!

fame and money both have important role in our life.fame actually means to show your talent and be popular.if a person have a lot of money then he can live a luxurious life.luxurious life means where you can fulfil all your desires.what ever one thinks and want he gets.this all is possible if you have sufficient money.
a person showing his talent and earning money can lead both fame and money.so this is the smartest way to follow up both.this way you wont have to chose.

Well if you have fame it usually comes with money but if I had to choose to would definitely be money. Being famous to me would be a pain. You have no privacy and can not go out in public unless someone is bothering you. No fame for me.
Have a Blessed Day

Both things are good and the glory and money.
I think if you both really happy person.
but as you know two watermelons under one arm does not.
Obviously we need that money and fame but his is very nice.
Do they remember people like a good guy who is doing better and was careful.
But both do know that sometimes fame is transient.
So money has to live better.
I know it is best to have both.
nice day!
I truly wish you can have money and fame.
