What makes a celebrity?

You are going round and round in circles,:joy::joy:
trying so hard to prove marketing that you have lost your point that you are trying to make.

What does this mean? Its marketing team? What is some entity?

We need to understand chronology here

Talent
Looks
Confidence
Proven your talent
Showcased your confidence
Little fame, local/regional
A big company will hire you
Grooms you
Hard work
Marketing
More fame
More marketing
More hard work
Evem more fame
Plastic surgery to maintain looks
Etc etc
( You can add or subtract points in between, it doesn’t matter)

Talent, looks, confidence, hard work is yours to begin with.

Just to believe, everything is marketing is 1000 IQ thinking. No marketing in this world can make a dud of a human being, a masterpiece.

Ain’t this true for everything in life for everyone. Don’t you look around in your day to day life and see less worthy people more successful. What’s your point?

You have to understand Simons sense of humour he does not mean bad in any shape or form. I admit i had to chuckle at his comments :slight_smile:

@RockyHandsome calling everyone ignorant is not a sense of humour. It’s disrespect.

@MavericKobra He mean’t it as light hearted humour I do not believe he wanted to disrespect anyone in the thread. Anyway back to business as usual.

There. I’ve removed the one line that someone could take offence with.

Now, my post is just another point of view.

Happy?

Another interesting angle is the Aura and energetic component.

Some public or ‘famous’ people, particularly some artists and performers, have the capacity to hold the energy of a large group people and then project that energy back to the people in a way that feels good or that feels right to them. It’s auric capacity or energetic capacity.

My aura might be very tight. Held right around my body. I could be socially and environmentally invisible. Highly non-interactive. You see me and your gaze slips right past. Recommended professions: Ninja.

Your aura might be vast and expansive. It stretches and radiates around you like a vast cloud. People walk into the same room and are affected by it. Eventually, their attention is pulled towards you, and the more outgoing ones are likely to seek you out and establish connection or proximity. At the same time, their auras also affect you. You feel aware of them and connected to them. If you can learn to manage that aura well and not be drained or overwhelmed by it, then you are likely to become a person who can handle a bit of fame. Recommended Professions: Host, Performer, Public figure.

Every single form of power, every expression of power, is a burden. And every burden is also an opportunity.

The sun radiates and is visible in the sky for all to see. Countless people have worshipped it (and countless others cursed its burning rays). It clearly supports life on earth and makes possible all that we have.

And…

at the core of the earth, beneath crushing pressure, lies its hidden twin; whom we’ll never see. The molten fiery center of our planet. Also radiating. Also supporting life. Worshipped by few, and cursed by few.

Every so often, it makes it makes its merest edges known in the form of a volcanic eruption. And these too have been worshipped as gods.

For the most part, it is not very famous.

There are many ways to hold power. Many ways to be great.

It all makes sense now. My childhood dream of being a ninja confirmed by my aura.

Definitely a challenge for the guidance counselor.

I recommend that you apply to undergraduate programs in…rural Japan. Preferably, medieval rural Japan.

I chose the wrong word. Instead of calling everyone in this thread - ignorant, I should’ve said uneducated or unaware about “Celebrity Management” and Personal Branding.


Posts above are equating/confusing:
Success (in a career/business)
Mastery (in a skill/passion/talent – including but not limited to performance arts), and
Fame (name recognition / being published & talked about).

These are by and large entirely disconnected from each other.
To have acquired any 1 of these, need not imply that you must also have either of the other two.

Sure there will be a few who have achieved all 3, but those are the exceptions – hence, unnecessarily difficult examples.



Considering that @pacman lost interest in this topic soon after starting the thread, I didn’t see the point posting this before – or even looking up specific examples right now.

I didny lose interest. Your ppst helped me realise that its not what it seems like and what social media protrays it to be like.

You broke it down very nicely and that made me understand it.

You did nothing wrong. Ignorant means to be unaware or to IGNORE right knowledge. If someone feels negatively to being labeled as such, they should take it as an opportunity to grow, instead of choosing to feed their ego further.
