Popularity

All through your childhood, you listen to the broken record of "Hardwork brings Success". Over the years, Success has become synonymous with Fame and unfortunately Hardwork with Stupidity.

You don't need Talent to become a known face. You can achieve the same with Stupidity. Make an incredibly useless video of yourself and put it up on YouTube. Share it on all the other networking sites to get a wider audience. The catch is that you would need to do all the stupidity with a straight poker face. Make others believe that you seriously think you are talented. You get people's attention, they laugh AT you (you play to the audience saying 'they are laughing WITH you') and you lose every last ounce of respect in the process.

What is this dire need to become popular? So what if you're a Nobody? Isn't that what every famous person wants to be? How is it that you are absolutely OK coming off as a complete idiot? 

Sigh!

  1. Ha Ha! I've been having these thoughts lately. It's actually awesome to be 'stupid'. I mean, seriously? Why are talents so important? It's not for the outer world. It's subjective. They're there so that we don't dwell on the past actions and have something valuable to do 'NOW'.
