| Standing in the spotlight. |
I imagine being famous as being too great a sacrifice, picturing it as having to sell a piece of one’s soul to the devil. Andy Warhol the Prince of Pop Art must have sold his whole soul because his fame was stratospheric, having spawned the visual modern art revolution as we have come to know it today.
His 15 minutes quip has stood the test of time, and has become somewhat of the motto of every person with an aspiration of becoming famous. So why do we want to be famous?
What is the motivation? Is it motivated by greed? Is it not more rewarding were one to simply stumble across it and become an overnight sensation? The one thing we can all be guaranteed of is that at some point in our lives our ‘worlds’ whether it be our families, communities or organisations, will shower us with a level of praise, giving us credit for having done something extraordinary, whether it’s the 15 minutes you’re looking for I don’t know.
The critical question that begs to be answered IS will the 15 minutes of fame be enough OR will you always be searching for more, to such a degree that you’d be prepared to sell your soul for it?
