Do you want to be rich and famous or lead a "regular" life?

I can truly identify with your response else22. I, too, responded with "both" as my answer. And I would definitely not forget from whence I came, as it is those with the same roots that I would instantly assist in living the same good life.

But they should not forget their roots.A man is like a tree.If the roots of a tree are cut,the tree would die.

Some people forget where they came from when everything they wish for was granted.

Will you really be happy if you can afford a lot of things ? You will easily pay for your children , they won't see life is hard , no challenges , they will take things for granted and have less value for what they achieve by themselves. It's all in your head : if you teach your kids to like working and using their head and hands and skills , to solve problems life give them , they will be more than happy to face life challenges. They will help each other and they will prove you that everything is possible even with no money in the pocket right now. It will be nice if your children will work at the holiday and earn money to buy some books , learn from the books and it will be good if they can earn money for themselves and pay for their own studies. If everything comes with no hard work , there is no appreciation for things.

You have a great attitude! Approve!

Ohh really? Okay. If you have a choice between the paparazzo and tabloids and globetrotting and all of the lifestyle of the rich and famous trimmings, would you trade in the slow-er paced "normal" working-class life outside of the magnifying glass of the public? I that is your choice then you have to give up your privacy.

Sometimes sacrifice is necessary. Sometimes we need to give up to gain something. We pay in other ways to gain something. Being rich and famous is not bad either. It can be a sign of thinking and dreaming big. But at the end of the day, each person has his own dreams and ultimate purpose in life. As long as he or she is happy, just go with it without violating other people's freedom.:) Good luck to all of us. Cheers! ^_^

Hey there riyauro , I think having a dream to be rich and famous and free financially is not good and I will tell you why : I will be happy if I see I can help others with actions , with talking , with teaching them how to solve their problems. Appreciation from my family members for lighting up their life is something worth more than money and is worth my effort. Think about being poor but living a good life with a nice family with love and care , all people around you are nice and offer help , they are your good friends , you will be happy to just go out and play with a dog and pick up fruits from trees , create and build things that can help you instead of buying them... What made you think being rich and free financially is so good ? That attitude can make a lot of bad people that have money for doing nothing useful they make the society with more and more people who feel jealous and they make life look like a race of everyone against each other. If someone wishes to be rich and free financially , I think it is selfish.

Living in a way that is outwardly simple and inwardly rich.

In short, freedom. ^_^

Go for the passion. That's great. Let's hope for the best.:)

Exactly! Simple life is happiness.

Most important is, as long i have enough money to complete my daily life needs then nothing to worry about. I like leading a hassle free and worry free life.

It depends upon the person handling the fame and wealth. Everybody is different so it would be hard to say that those who are in the church are always happy inside. We are all human beings who can experience frustration and negativity in life.

Hope you can lead a regular life if you are already rich and famous. But I doubt. You will actually loss your privacy that can hinder your goal to lead regular life.

Being rich does not mean you need to become materialistic. Rich is not always about the money, but the time that we can spend in whatever we want to do without worrying about our financial situation.:)

In other words, you want to live with a regular life? Me either. Simple and ordinary makes me happy.

Sorry typo error 'not necessary its unnecessary'

Great! Wise money handling.

Again, RICH and FAMOUS or a REGULAR LIFE? Choose one. Be mindful when you choose rich and famous, everything will change, your attitude, the way you treat people, and if you want to be famous, you don't have privacy no more. You will be a public figure. Now, think about it.

Indeed, the advantages of simplicity are many: happiness, personal freedom, financial security, spirituality, and global responsibility.

Don't lose hope. If we are willing to achieve our dreams, let's take action always and never give up. You can do it. When it comes to your endeavor to become rich, that's great. Money can do a lot of good to us and especially in helping others.^_^
