Famous

Famous vs Infamous

Do you want to be famous or infamous? Famous requires work and excellence. Infamous requires attention and notoriety. Infamous can come quickly. Famous usually is proceeded by dedicated focus and work.

How might we not be tempted by attention even if we risk infamy? How might we remain on course to reach a level of dedicated service that fame reaches you?

Icon and/or Famous

What is the difference between being an icon and being famous? Today, I saw a YouTube star while I was visiting a museum. The YouTuber has interviewed some of the most popular athletes and celebrities. I would consider them famous. A short walk from the art institute, I saw a mural of William Shakespeare. I would suggest that he is famous and iconic.
