In a world of competition and being the best, when u have to chase ur dream and show the strength in u to make ur mark...how far would u go?

would u compromise on ur privacy? ur peace..? sell ur soul for fame? close ur eyes from the evil happenings? giving up happiness...

Wht would u do??? Is Fame and Fortune this all mind trapping??

MNMS, in my point of view, there are no BEST people in this world, as far as money and power is concerned: if you have managed to survive in this world, you are already among the best people in the world

There are so many people who are malnutritioned, and lack education facilities and survival skills, but they still manage to survive and put a smile on their faces: i have seen 6 year olds taking care of their baby sisters- the real compeition in life is SURVIVAL, and these people are in my eyes, the BEST in this business

For me, achieving your dream is a priviledge, as not many people get the luxury of being who they wanted to be...but if someone told me that i had to sell my soul or compromise my dignity and pride for my dreams, i would say ABSOLUTELY NOT

Fame and Fortune are STATES OF MIND: i can close my eyes right now and imagine that i am a rock star and have all the money in the world...but in reality, the real wealth of humans is happiness and health

I don't think I would trade in happiness for fortune unless its really required. It depends on the situation you are in. One example: Suppose your family is in dire need of money, someone is sick in the family...something desperate that requires you to bring in money anyhow, then I would do anything that doesnt compromise my integrity or soul to get the money in to support my family. But if it requires that I trade in my happiness to do so, I will. I would gain happiness in the end, if I made my family happy.

It is quite ambiguous and flexible and depends on the situation you are in with regards to fortune.

For fame, normally you really have to trade in your privacy to achieve that. But, I wouldn't trade in the rest for it...

Selling your soul or ignoring evil makes you more 'infamous' than 'famous'.

However, once you become famous, keeping your privacy and peace is not completely your choice. You can try to protect them but whether others will allow you is upto them.

Life is about compromises. I would go as far as I can deal with it.
