Fortune and Fame

 

“A writer doesn't dream of riches and fame, though those things are nice. A true writer longs to leave behind a piece of themselves, something that withstands the test of time and is passed down for generations.” ―CK Webb

 

 

Most people aspire to earn fortune and fame in the world. They want to lead a wealthy, healthy, and happy life. But all are not blessed with them. Some people prefer fame to fortune while some prefer fortune to fame based on their passions and needs. In this post, I will discuss and differentiate between fame and fortune.  

 

Leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, and Nelson Mandela had a voice. They had fame, not fortune. In contrast, leaders including Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett have both fortune and fame. It is a rare combination. It is obvious from these examples that some are blessed with fame, some are blessed with fortune, and some are blessed with both fortune and fame. It all depends on the leaders and their passions, principles, and practices.

 

Some people pay money to receive awards and get likes on social media platforms. Such people have visibility but lack credibility. Instead, they must emphasize adding value to others to enable them to be appreciated for their authentic intentions and actions by the world. 

 

Vision, a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck are essential to earning fame and fortune in the world. Everything starts with a healthy daily routine with discipline and execution. You must plan their daily routine and follow it religiously. You must set your vision based on your expertise, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities to enable you to enjoy your life and add value to others. There is the least competition when you want to add value to others. People are intelligent enough to assess the right people who have the heart to serve others. They respect the contributors for the services and knowledge. Leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela added value to their societies and served others without expecting anything in return. As a result, they had a voice and earned their fame. Therefore, add value to others and serve humanity. Nothing is greater than serving humanity without expecting anything in return.

 

 

"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and saw that service is a joy." —Khalil Gibran
