In my opinion, there is no problem or conflict. I do not want to be famous, I do not care about that. As long as my family knows who I am, I am fine. As far as wealth goes, if I am a healthy person, I can earn whatever it is that I need. It would not matter how much money I have, or who knew my name, if I was not healthy enough for a quality life, it would be empty and worthless to me. No matter how famous a person is, their health can go bad. There are illnesses without cures, no matter how much money you spend on them. Look at Michael J. Fox, here in the United States. He has Parkinson's disease, and no matter how much money he has, or how well known he is, there is no cure. I choose my health.

Many of us, when we are very young, think wealth and fame would be the best thing to have. As you get older, you will realize that good health is actually a better goal or a better thing to have. It is a precious gift and needs to be nurtured.

Well friend, i would wish to become a healthy person. I also like to be very famour in the world and to have unlimited money but then the main reason for us earning is to eat and stay healthy. When we dont be healthy enough then what is the use of having so much money and also a good name.

I would rather be wealthy and have my health. I do not really care to be famous at all. I prefer my privacy.

That is kind of a no brainer since if you have health you can gain wealth and in turn a kind of fame. Also even if you are wealthy you might not be able to become healthy depending on the condition. Fame you did not clarify if it was to be good fame or bad type of fame. Lasting fame or fleeting fame. Anyway, health is the only logical choice so as to make your own way in the world.

I think I would have to say that I would prefer a little of each rather than one or other of them in full. Health is slightly more different because I want to stay healthy and be active and have a fit life but with wealth or fame, well I want to be recognised for what I have offered and done, therefore I want my bit of fame, but not in the sense that I get up on stage somewhere. As for wealth, then I want that in both monetary and family circumstances.

I personally believe, Health is more important than anything else in the world, such as money, fame, land, etc. 'Health is Wealth' is the most common saying. You can enjoy these things only when you are healthy. There is one another discussion in mylot that asked if 'Wealth is Health' is also . In the current scenario, I believe what you have said is also true. In the modern age, almost all the diseases are curable, except few ones. With that, when one is wealthy he can stay healthy with the money he has. So in the modern age, health and wealth can go hand in hand. This also depends on the person too. For me, the priority always go to HEALTH than anything else.
