It is as though it doesn't matter and fame itself has become the goal. Figuring out what you are truly passionate about is surely a better proposition? If you can do that, and set in train the actions to live that way, then you may become rich and famous for what you really love doing. What could be better than that for a sense of wellbeing? Hope all is well with you! Jerry Hi Andy

People in this frame of mind seem blinded to any other idea of success and don't seem to recognise the cost of this kind of success - which is often a complete lack of wellbeing. See <a href="http://www.thecreativeinstinct.com/2008/04/23/find-your-definition-of-creative-success/" rel="nofollow">Find Your Definition of Creative Success</a> for more about this. Hi Jerry
