Keep The Fame, Give Me The Fortune
Just like how we have different biological features, that is how we have diverse things we are destined for in life. Not everyone can be a doctor, or a lawyer. In life, some people are destined to be better and greater than doctors or lawyers, while some people will end up working for another person in a 9 to 5 manner, just to get something to live by.
Contenders are not one to seat down and wait for opportunities. They don't actually wait for an opportunity to come and knock on their doors before they open the door for it. Contenders are known to chase opportunities like an ant chasing sugar. They grow resiliently to the extent of giving opportunities the privilege to sit in their houses.
One major reason why most of us wake in the morning and go to work is so that we get our daily bread. Most of us try hard in life because we want to make a fortune, and get the fame. Some don't like the fame and they prefer the fortune without fame. Some people don't like the fortune and they prefer the fame rather. Nonetheless, so long as everybody gets their end goal, there is no other thing that matters.
I have friends that love to be famous. Irrespective of how good or bad a situation is, they don't miss the opportunity to make their name known in a positive light, even though they will have to lie to get their name known. I also have friends that loves being in the shadows. They help people to become famous and control from the shadows.
This post is my entry for hive learners prompt, "To be famous." In this prompt, I will share my perspective of fame. I will share if I love would love to be rich and famous, and lastly, I would share what I would do if I get rich and famous overnight.
From my perspective, fame is a double edged sword. Fans turn against their favorite person overnight because of a few bad news. Famous businesses fold overnight because of their fanbase. The same fanbase that brought them to the top. Fame is really sweet because it puts someone in the spotlight, however, in that spotlight, every single actions must be premeditated.
Many people love the feeling they get by being in the spotlight, but when the backlash comes, its difficult for them to handle it. I love a few famous people, but then, I don't like being famous. I have lots of dreams, and none of those dreams includes having my name placed in the world rich-list of billionaires or trillionaires. My dreams are actually bigger than that.
One thing I always tell my click is - "take the fame, the name and the girls, but give me the fortune, the worth and the connections." I prefer to be a silent billionaire that controls things from the shadows than to be a famous person that comes on socials to flaunt their spending and businesses. I prefer to be a chill person that is always in the shadows.
Thank you for reading.

I totally agree that fame can be stressful and come with a lot of pressure. Having fortune and peace of mind is better than being in the spotlight with plenty problems, staying low-key and successful is actually a big flex.
As long as I am well too do, take care of my needs with some spare to help myself and my family I don't really need much again. Fame is a full job I don't think I can handle
Thank you for this beautiful entry
