Millions of boys and girls surely have once in their childhood dreamt of being a star, to perform on the stage for endless crowds of admirers… A pretty promising and challenging perspective, isn’t it? But there is something even more powerful than the burning desire to become famous that prevents most of the happy dreamers from making their uneasy step onto the path leading to the “star track”. It seems to be something less trivial than mere modesty and something more complicated than lack of talent. It seems as though the so-called showbiz in itself is full of hidden agendas…
First of all, one has to break the wall of politeness, the hedge of "I am not sure if I could handle it" and so on. Not many people have the character strong enough to break the “unwritten rules” of the society. Here is where the first half of the dreamers breaks apart with their intention. Secondly, it may turn out to be that the one trying to maintain success in show business demonstrates the lack of either physical or mental abilities, then he or she also steps aside. After that, only the most self-satisfied, self-concerned, talented (or maybe just wealthy) and strong-willed persons stay on the way. After they have achived their success they form a small international lot who tend to lead the fashion in music, art, clothing and outlook.
Nevertheless, all the showbiz stars have to pay the destiny back: their private life is widely discussed, they need to try and avoid scandals, stay away from too easy-going behaviour, they are hardly ever able to escape the press and, moreover, they have to watch carefully who their surroundings are in order to have as less evil tongues as possible because the more splendid the society is the filthier is gossiping…
Have you ever considered the possibility of becoming a star?
