famous

People forget your face after a book tour or an infrequent appearance on Letterman, but put your face on your books and you're handing them your life. They presume to know what you think or who you are.

Though you can get smart from reading everything that a smart person writes, you cannot get famous from reading about everything that a famous person does or is said to have done.

Fame is the responsibility, the perennial discipline, the concubine who solicits and imbibes, bit by bit, the love, the relations, the serenity, and the soul, leaving behind the subaqueous plaudits that pinch to the core..

A friend of mine, Warren Lemming, has this theory: if you__e famous, it__ as if you__e got a golden monkey on your shoulder. When people come up to talk to you, they just see the monkey.

There is no shortage of well-known pirates, including: Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Blue beard, Yellowbeard, and Yellow beard with Black Roots, who surmised that, if blondes have more fun, then blond pirates must have a heck of a lot more fun.

If you have a dream, don__ just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.

Gain fame, and the paparazzi or media waits and watches for them to slip, just to shame their name.

A familiar name on its own, however, does not carry its bearer far unless the talent is there, and the will to work.

Taylor Swift on why girls look up to her: "It__ the message. I try to have a normal life and look at things in a normal way, under very abnormal circumstances. That__ always going to be my main goal, that__ always what I__ going to strive for, to be a normal human being. It__ interesting because you__e put in really abnormal situations. You have an abnormal-size microscope covering your life and everything you do. You look at the idea of being 22, that__ when you__e supposed to be out there living and being selfish and making mistakes and messing up. If I mess up once, it__ a headline everywhere.

You can have practically anything you want in this world, if you have great credit.

Start having more confidence in yourself, and others will do the same.

Forget about how old you are, and get busy.

Get out of your comfort zone and go for it. I do this when I apply for lead acting parts in feature movies.

Stop now and decide to never worry again about what others think about you.

Some of my greatest successes in business are simply the result of taking huge, calculated risks.

Have you noticed how prejudice still exists today. For instance, now they challenge famous people for their past achievements: People like Christopher Columbus and now even Vince lombardi. Nothing surprises me. I never grew-up with prejudices against anyone. I don't care what color you are or where you came from. This sort of stuff to me never made sense. You see I grew up in a "educated family." Education teaches you not to be so ignorant.

Don't ever rely on one job, business contact, etc for your main source of income. Receive multiple sources of income for success.
