To be
famous or not to be famous?
Since the birth of cinema and, later, the diffusion of television,
young people’s dreams have changed. Nowadays, if we asked a kid what he wanted to do in his life, he would surely answer being a famous actor or a pop
star rather than becoming a teacher or a fireman, as it used to be not too many
years ago. But are we sure that being famous is really better than being
successful and not so well-known?
Most of teenagers, but also the older ones, think it actually is. Many
times fame means money and also being known everywhere you go let alone
thousands of fans.
On the other hand success could mean money too without the “drawback” of
autographs.
To tell the truth, money should not be as important in life as
happiness, as that feeling of fulfilment
that only doing what you love could give you. Everyone is born for something:
if you feel that acting is your life, you should try to become an actor, not
only for fame or money, but for the sake of it.

Most teenagers, but also older people, think it actually is. Usually/often fame means money and also being known everywhere you go, not to mention having thousands of fans.

To tell the truth, money should not be as important in life as happiness, or that feeling of fulfilment that only doing what you love could give you. Everyone is born for (with a purpose?): if you feel that acting is your life, you should try to become an actor, not only for fame or money, but for its own sake.
