It's nice to be a public figure and a famous person. You would have your own groups of fans, people look up to you, where ever you go and what ever you say will matter to the media, companies want you to sponsor their products, you will be loaded with money and most of all you will be hooked to another public figure. Life is heaven... isn't it?
Well, on the contrary, there is also a huge amount of pressure to be good in the public eye every minute of your life. Think about it, the things you drink, you eat, your habits, the choices of words, your opinions about any walk of life, and you get the picture.
I can give examples of people who ruin their image because of atleast one mistake until the cows come home. Here are a few to name,
Bill Clinton: Our beloved 42nd president, who is known for his crowd moving speeches, charisma, the best times during his tenure and the list goes on. Of course, Bill always had a weakness for women and his sexual escapade with the chubby Monica became the worst of his career in the house among other things.
Michael Jackson: I think the world will never have a talented musician, dancer and entertainer like him. He was unique, self made king of pop and the most influential people across the globe. His personal relationships, his constant changing looks, controversies with children ruined his life.
You hear a lot of Child Prodigies, who suddenly become rich from rags and get hooked to sex, drugs and the other ways to ruin their public image. Super models such as Miss California, Perez Hilton and ofcourse Paris Hilton to name a few. You heard the news made by ball players too such as Kobe Bryant (who invented the phrase, "I need a Kobe's Special"), Michael Vick and now Tiger Woods.
You can find a black spot in almost any human as the saying goes, Nobody is perfect. I guess being rich, powerful and famous is not all colorful as your life is always under the microscope of the media and everyone expects you to be a role model all the time. You have no wiggle room and your personal life is not that personal as the media is always looking for the juicy details. It always boils down to power, money, sex and drugs.
I am sure lot of ordinary people will walk the dark shadows of life, do drugs, have affairs and so on but it never gets in to the middle of a show and tell. You have to be some what famous in order to make a difference.
So the question remains, to be or not to be Famous!
Of course, I am not suggesting all famous people have bad character or you can do what ever you want if you are not famous!
