If you have a talent, make sure you have influence, that you see others also do the talents that you have, unless if you're a one of a kind that created something completely new. Others may spike your mind and make you think of something new that can make you even better, everyone must always look for improvement in their talents.
Everyone has talents, some simple, some incredible and some can lead to glory and success with those talents. Those who have multiple talents, be proud and try your best to make something out of it, or do it as a hobby. My hobby is to sing and play drums, I love it but don’t want to do it as a profession. I seek for other things. Continue to pursue your talents because they may bring you something you never expected ever, in your life.
Fame
Something everyone wants and dreams for, fame, at least most people dream and want it. Now yes, fame brings fortune to a person’s life, which is what life is seemingly about to most people in this world. But having fame may not always be a good thing.
When a person becomes famous and is loved by many people, it could lead to demise, or at least one story has had that happen, just like when John Lennon was shot by a fan. Fans love someone so much that they could lose their minds and collapse after that mistake was made. Never should a fan who loves someone, take them out of this world so that this world could be left without that special person.
Fame has positive aspects as well, you can have a ginormous home, many many cars, lots of consummation with many different people, tons of pictures and be seen on multimedia platforms worldwide at times. That all sounds wonderful as if that person is living in a utopian life, but you will be really busy. Just remember who you were before and never forget that most people had to work for the spot that you're in, be grateful for what you have now.
Being rich and famous is fun in the beginning. People come up to you and shake your hand and would like your picture with them or a signature, because they love you and don’t meet many famous people in their lives. You get paparazzi which is really cool, just make sure you get nice glasses for the flashes. You get interviews by the press to talk about what’s new with you and promote your new products and projects on television, and it sometimes is live. You will also get people who will work with and for you such as agents, managers, publicists, etc. they will make sure that you get everything you want in life and work, or at least should.
Now if you are an athlete, that’s great, for you, but remember that athletes make a shit ton of money and retire pretty early, then comes the physical and mental rehabs that they have to live and deal with, but they have the money for it. When you gather around to see them play and you cheer for them, they will not hear you, or care for you, all they need is their skills and teammates support to win, and if they win, they win, not you, unless you bet money on them.
Sooner or later, you might get sick of all of this fame because it can get stale, and you’ve aged and now have bigger responsibilities in your life, a family. Now you have to pay more attention to them as they are your whole now, and can’t really be replaced. Just don’t forget about your old family, like your parents and siblings, they have loved you since your beginning and have always supported you with all your life decisions, mostly. And everyone that you love and that loves you, are always happy for you that you’ve become a huge success, never forget that.
Life as a famous person is glorious, but it can expire depending on your reputation and professionalism. That all depends on you and also be careful what you say and how you act on television off script. You have to work your ass off to be famous, some do foolish and harmful things to become famous, don’t be like that. Many times it depends on your luck rather than your skill. Be happy once you make it big, not everyone can or will be where you may be, appreciate and cherish every moment, and be remembered for something amazing, whatever it may be.
Fear
Everyone has something they are afraid of, and other people say to face their fears, when they usually don’t, that’s straight up hypocritical. Many people do have some ridiculous fears of things like the sky, talking, sitting, standing, etc. many people fear many things and some are really weird. Face your fears, meaning if you’re afraid of deadly amphibians or insects, does that mean cover me with them, no, some fears are ok and normal.
Many fear talking in public or being social, since they are scared of what people will believe. Now don’t be scared of talking in public, those who don’t talk at all are considered mutes and to me that’s not very good, I don’t know how you will survive in life without communicating. People are scared of speaking to girls if they are boys, girls could be scared too of talking to boys, again you must converse or no one will know how you feel about the other person, whether it’s good or bad. You should attempt at least, you may win and lose meaning get accepted or rejected, like in life, you win some and you lose some, but mostly lose, but at least you learn from your losses. Even when you are working in a company and are afraid of speaking to your boss of a possible promotion, even though you’re scared to talk to someone in higher power, if you want that promotion and their is an opening, then talk, don’t be scared, if you don’t talk, you may miss your opportunity, and regret it.
A normal fear would be snakes, spiders, rats or any other creature that can harm a person. Those you don’t really need to get rid of and you won’t be around so many deadly ones in your life. Other common ones such as fear of heights, airplanes, injections or needles, and germs, can be overcome and the fear disappears if you just work your ways around them.
When I was a kid, I was very scared of dogs, all kinds of dogs, though I didn’t fear cats, just getting scratched by one. I grew out of those fears around 10-11 years old and became afraid of death. Now death is really a big fear to many people. At such a young age, I was afraid of dying, but in the most sufferable ways. Death is a common fear, but surprisingly, it’s not in the top 10 fears anymore, I guess people realized that death is not so bad as you don’t have to worry about nothing, absolutely nothing, you’re dead. After I realized death is not such a bad thing, I got a new fear which is loss of a body part such as an arm, leg, tongue, hand, penis, etc. I believe all that you were born with, you should die with, but people can lose them in various ways such as war, saying something you should not have, making a person jealous, etc. try and keep everything, it’s pretty easy to.
The number one fear is change, apparently. People are mainly scared to change how they act, where they live, who they’re with, etc. I guess it can be frustrating to change something that you are so used to. But, nothing lasts forever, so might as well, it might take a while to adjust or adapt to it, but it will happen eventually.
Many people have fears that they don’t realize, like a loss of someone close to you. It’s like when your mother or father are really ill from their age, you will be afraid to lose them permanently, if you had a good relationship with them. If someone loses tons of hardworking money, they get scared because the government and/or banks will take things away from you without your permission, that’s really scary.
Now in days people are scared of other people because of what they hear and/or read on the news. People use to be very neighborly with their neighbors, some still are, but it’s not how it used to be in life. We were all very friendly to them, and now we are concerned and believe that they may be bad people, yes they may be, just be careful.
Fear is common and can be dealt with, depending on what it is, and is not abnormal to be scared. Fear is our most primal emotion out of all emotions, that’s why horror movies are popular since people want to feel and see something unexpected. Life is scary, but you have to live it and carry on, ignore those fears, they will hold you back, again depending on what it is. Don’t be scared, take risks sometimes, no risk leads to no possible improvements in life, i’m risking myself as a write this book, but I am learning many things and that’s what life is about.
Work
I always believed that a person should love their work. Yes, of course, to get a job that you love will most likely take time to accomplish in your life. Many people would want a great income, great benefits like health, dental and vision insurance, as well as a 401k, and
