Most of us want to famous like all the other celebrities. However, we fail to look into and observe what would happen if we were really famous. Do you think that being a famous is always a good thing? How do you think famous people should behave in public? What are the advantages and disadvantage of being famous. Please share your thoughts

I think being famous is both a benfitt and a hindrance for the person concerned.

Yes,being famous can be both an advantage as well as a hindrance.If you are famous you may have the power to change the world.You can be influential and be a spokesperson,an advocate, or an image model for a just cause.You can have the benefit of talking to the authorities,media,or anyone without being welcomed by questioning look because it's expected from you.On the other hand,the disadvantage of being famous is the lack of privacy.Media and ordinary people alike wants every piece in you.You'll always watch your every move for the fear of being ridiculed.You also need to maintain a high standard of living because simplicity or low standard maybe regarded as shame.You don't really have the full control in your life,instead it is dictated by the society's expectation.

The thing is there will always be a negative side to every positive things that we do. If you think that being famous is a hindrance, then it will be a hindrance. If you think that it's a benefit, it will be a benefit. It depends on how you look at it.

I think that famous people are held to a higher standard as people tend to mock famous people.I don't think I would like being famous with all the media and press always being around and very little privacy.I like my privacy,but for those who could tolerate all the publicity,I guess being famous might be for them.Have a great day.

Being famous will get you popularity, self respect, sense of superiority and lots of responsibility with that too, people will look up to you as an idol if you are famous, if famous i think people should not be cocky,should have self respect to others also, one of the advantage can be being popular get you living in high standard to live a life of luxury and comfort and no bad dreams and every day can be a new day and exciting, and disadvantage is that you will be like normal people with normal lifestyle nothing of a luxury, just a small time happiness.

everything has its own advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how we look at it.
being famous,renowned for something is fun, but there are times when you want to value yourself deep in yourself,without having disturbed by staring people, paparazzis and stuff. sometimes you'd probably want to relax on your own and contemplate, what is being worth for?
the thing is,we often get bored of our mundane life, doing our regular activities over and over again.
the most important thing is being grateful for what we have now,then we're never worse off. :D
