Fame Is Transient

"You're nobody until you're being talked about." - Gossip Girl

famous, popular and renowned. those three words literally have the same meaning. they refer to somebody who is well-known and recognized by many people. teenagers nowadays are so obssessed with this one word called 'fame'. three basic things teenagers want to have so bad:

1. stealing the spotlight (like, everytime!)

2. looking chic and cool (everytime, too)

3. being on TOP

the three of them refer to the same word. fame. without fame, you are nobody. without fame, you are nothing. to be popular, you have to sacrifice some in order to get everything.

sadly, some teenagers totally get this 'fame' concept wrong. it's not only about being the attention, getting the attention and being recognized. rather than fame, it's way better to have a good REPUTATION. fame is transient, it is temporary. it could disappear in a blink of an eye. vanished.

do not hold on to fame, because when it's gone, you will find half of your body missing. however, losing fame is nothing compared to losing reputation. when fame is gone, people won't really care or notice it, but when your GOOD REPUTATION is gone, you will be thrown from society, banished, mocked, and you would have to start from zero again to gain that good reputation once more. it's as hard as gaining trust once again after you broke a promise. zillion times harder because some people don't believe in second chance.

I know that being bad is sad and being ordinary is even sadder, but back to my opinion, fame is not everything, but reputation is. don't ever let the good reputation slip away from your hands :)
