on May 14th, 2009Fame vs Fortune: Blog to win $$
My dear friend Sab is holding a mini contest in her blog. Just blog about which would you chose: Fame or Fortune and stand a chance to win SG$50 and other mini prizes 
I blogged about this topic for Gadget3 blog just a while ago, and my stand is, I would chose Fortune over Fame anytime. The reason being you can’t do anything with a little fame, but you can do alot with a little fortune
Basically, the reason why fortune trumps over fame is, the quantity is less significant for the former. If you are only “a little famous”, what does it even matter? If you have “some what a fortune”, you could do a lot more. Then again, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. It all boils down to which of the two brings you more happiness.
Or perhaps the reason why I chose Fortune over Fame is that it is more plausible for me to attain Fortune than Fame. Although both requires skill and luck, the latter requires a whole lot more than just a little lucky. You have to meet the right person, do the right thing at the right time, to be able to be noticed. Who knows how long will your fame even last? We’ve seen so many one hit wonders and big stars that comes and goes. Obviously if you chose to squander your fortune away, then you wouldn’t have any fortune for long as well.
A more interesting way of looking at this topic would be… do you think that a millionaire would give up his fortune to be famous? Or a celebrity giving up their status to be rich? Actually there are many mega super stars that leave a very important footnote in our history, I don’t think they’ll give that up for any amount of money.
