All fact though eh. Not all fact. Please back off and find another hobby. Guess I'm not on ignore now then huh, so which part is inaccurate ? According to your own posts thats 100% accurate but please correct me where appropriate. As for "backing off" its a public forum, but perhaps you may find other forums more suitable.

khunPer Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) I'm curious why some people think they're destined to be famous at a young age? (As I did.) Where do they get that from? I would guess this is more common in cultures emphasizing individualism like the USA compared to the nail that sticks out gets hammered type of cultures. In some ways, it can be tragic. Like so many kids moving to Hollywood dreaming of stardom and ending up peddling their arse on the streets. Better chance of being struck by lightning than actually making it. Similar to dreams of sports success, etc. Kids thinking they are going to be president. I can't relate. Expectations to be rich don't interest me as much. Try to give my input – for what it’s worth… »…why some people think they're destined to be famous at a young age?« Unfortunately I’m from a country where we have a spoken law called “Jante Law” (coming from a novel), it says something like: »You shall not think you are something special…« (…if you do, you have misunderstood something). That may put a limit to living out the dreams of fame… However, I think when you are 13 years old – or just teenager – you don’t think too much about limits, your dreams are unlimited. When you grow older you may realize, that to acquire the dream it involves a lot of “hard work”. Perhaps the “Jante Law” is good in that way, so you won’t loose all your illusions if you don’t make it, and end up like the mentioned “Hollywood kids”. I remember when playing rock music in a band in the sixties, the dream of fame was essential, but we were limited by education: “don’t think you are something…” One day an old pro told us back stage that before going on stage, keep repeating a mantra like “we are the best in the World…” and believe. That did help – a lot – giving the self-confidence needed to reach out over the edge of the stage, reach out to the audience… You need to believe you are destined to fame… In the moments of fame – I don’t forget Keith Richard talked about the euphemism being famous and that all should be allowed to try that feeling – you feel you “walk on water”. I’ve tried my extremely few short but very memorable “famous rock star”-moments around 1970 – presume everybody else has long forgotten by now. May have something to do with “power” – when the “famous” artist on the stage reach an aura, so he/she can talk the audience to do almost anything, or just hush to total silence and listen a longer introduction of the next song – extreme power like seen by some politicians and religious icons… The chance of become famous, apart from hard work method, may be being at the right place at the right time. To reach either, I unfortunately gave up my glamorous rock career way too early… Later, producing music, I learned the importance of working with artists believing in their destined fame – no matter they were difficult or eccentric – because without that they would never reach it… »Kids thinking they are going to be president.« Sure, of course I believed I would be an “excellent” president – or whatever substitutes a so in a Kingdom – but as I did not get into politics, I wasn’t there at the right place at the right time… Now I realize, I have passed my chance – what may my country or the whole World have missed…? – that’s Okay, just like the fox in Aesop’s fable, it may not be worth it anyway… »Expectations to be rich…« I think that the dream and expectation for having enough money, gives a kind of freedom to spent time doing what is interesting – for example being a famous rock star…? – rather than working hard to make enough money just to survive. Again, over time you learn lessons the hard way like “money is not all” – however “it’s more pleasant to cry on the back seat of a Rolls Royce…” Edited May 2, 2014 by khunPer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Amavel Posted May 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2014 I unearthed a note I had written when I was 19. In it I wrote that all I wanted was not to have to work, and have all the sex and drugs I want. I am now 55, retired and have a very sexual young wife and have all the drugs I want. I have achieved this, and it is great, except Ganja is too strong for me now and the drugs I do, are for blood pressure, gout and pain from all the sex.

Loles Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 This is very funny thing, congrat for OP. When I was 13 I had these ideas: I will be a very famous football player for example like Leonel Messi now. I was sure I will a very cool truck driver too. I thought I won't be married at all. I didn't care at all about rich - poor question. Something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schondie Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I strived to be rich from the age of 13 as I grew up in Thatcher's Britain (the 80s) and my parents were worried I'd either be a millionaire, in jail or both. Luckily they were wrong on all counts, neither rich and never spent any time in jail apart from visiting a friend. I'm well off as I have a wonderful wife, a menagerie of loving pets and we never live hand to mouth. My days of greed for money passed in the 90s as I realised so many of my "better off" friends lived off credit cards, bank loans and the illusion of all show but no dough. Since the 90s I've never chased money and just tried to streamline my finances and over time the savings have given me a cushion against the unexpected. Do I want to be rich or famous? Never, as my wife and I are too happy to deal with the problems of wealth. We'll just cruise into old age without worrying about people trying to borrow, steal or envy us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsycat Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) I was going to marry Donny Osmond, David Cassidy or one of the Bay City Rollers. I had posters of all of them on my bedroom wall. The first ever record i got was How Can I be Sure by David Cassidy. I still have it. It's a 45 rpm and may be worth money. And to add to my red face, i have listened to it on U toob and still know all the words. along with Puppy Love. So, yes i did think i would be rich and famous. And, after seeing Donny not so long ago on the telly. He has actually got to be a very good looking man. Whereas the others are a bit caca.

Jingthing Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) If you like, change the AGE in the question to 16. I think that might be better. 13 may be too young for many people to even think about this stuff, but by 16 probably most have imagined their lives, and by 18 "reality" is more likely to have at least started to have an impact ... So how about age 13 through 16 ... ? Hopefully you get the idea. Edited May 2, 2014 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 When i was about 10 or younger, i wanted to live in a big middle class suburban house with a Mum & Dad that never argued and a basketball ring on the garage just like the Cleavers. It never was cold or rained where the Beaver Cleaver lived and Mr Cleaver always was wise and never had to count pennies (or dimes) to find the money for the electricity bill.And everybody laughed at his jokes. Wally was a Wally but i could have put up with that and if the worse thing in life was having to tolerate that jerk smart-arse Eddie Haskell then life there was so much better than where i was. Then life changed when i started getting acne and a hard -on every morning . ( I guess it was a different concept of Leave it to Beaver ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
