RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #33 - "Money or Fame"

avatar

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Money or fame? I will pick money. Why? Okay, let me start with this...

Age doesn't equate to maturity. You can speak Latin still it doesn't mean you know how to speak. You can take a vow and it doesn't mean you know how to love. Just because two lips met it doesn't mean two hearts joined. Fame doesn't translate to relevance. You can be famous and still it doesn't translate to much, that's life and it's easier to get carried away with the fanfare.

For me, I don't want fame but I want the money. The fame would drive unnecessary attention to me but I've always been the type that loves to pull the strings underneath. Most people who know me would know I keep things on the low. I wouldn't fault those who want fame, never, because the first thing is we need to understand ourselves to know what we would do when presented with opportunities. For me, I want the money and I have a lot of things to do which a lot of people wouldn't even know I am the face of it. Let others struggle for the glory, I'm okay with doing it underneath.

With a lot of money I can fulfil my dream of helping youth to rediscover themselves. I know we live in a world where we want everything to be about education, and rightly so. I want to help teenagers... Equip those who want to learn crafts while also sponsoring those who want to focus on education. Education isn't for everyone...so it's about helping them recognize what works for them.

I agree that with fame you can attract a lot of money but like I said, I don't like getting carried away... I would just stick with the money while leaving the fame out.

@princessbusayo and @khaleesii you should join this convo. What do you think?

Interesting!!! I love how you analyzed it, it's so easy to understand.

Well, one of the main reasons I will choose fame over money is because fame is not what you can see, we become famous for one of two reasons;

  • Either we did something good

Or

  • We did something bad.

If you are famous because you did something good do you know the wealth that will come to you over time? You won't have the need to chase after money money will be the one to run to you.

But if you are famous for something bad, it will be really difficult for you but you will still have support from someone somewhere.

I absolutely love this reason and you are right. There is wealth that comes with fame but knowing how I like being behind the scene, it's not something I want. A lot of people have been ruined also by the fame because they attract unnecessary attention to themselves.

Also, having every aspect of my life scrutinized isn't something I would like... The media follows you everywhere, carries your news everywhere...even when you sneeze. They start reading meaning to things they shouldn't which if you are not strong enough, can break someone.

That's true but I don't want to attract such kind of attention to myself but I want to be famous, I don't know if you get what I'm trying to say.

It's a good thing to get feedback from people but I don't want that from the media sha because they easily attract the negative things about it.

That's it. The media will always attract negative. Even when you do the right thing as long as they don't benefit, they will twist it.

Fame gets level...there is one within a circle of influence based on the people you are using to front and there is one where you are in the public eye. I won't be in the public eye.

You hit the nail on the head. This couldn't be more accurate. Fame is good but the power to make impacts, actual impacts, is much more desirable and money is a key factor to make that happen.

Right but when you make that impact, whether good or bad you will start becoming famous, even against your will.

Always be prepared to face whichever comes your way dear.

I honestly really highly extremely LOVE this! The thing is that even some people that may want money so much just want it for themselves. It's nice to see you don't care about fame and all that, but is better to see that you need the money to help others ❤️. Wow, the dream is lovely.
