Tips
(Do you agree or disagree?)
• Don't wait for a dream. Work for it.
• Participate in lots of events. Be in a school play or sing in a choir, it
doesn't matter how you start. Most famous people start like that
anyway.
• Highlight your best talent or quality. Find ways to show the world
what you've got!
• Being famous isn't only nation wide. It is much easier to become
"well known" in your community. Your fame might even spread...
• Have a genuine conviction that you deserve to be famous. Envisage
benefits to the society from your fame and try to highlight and
project them in turn. Do not be deterred by resistance to your
efforts. Be brave and assertive.
• If you want to be an actor or actress find a theater near you and
audition for plays; you could become famous!
• Try to contact famous people in an attempt to get them interested
in your area of expertise. Do not badger them however, or continue
to communicate with them if they do not respond.
• Contact your local newspapers, and interest them in doing an
interview about you.
