About being famous and not so famous


Many a times we come across people who are famous, who have done great things, who are known to million of people, sometimes even world famous. Looking at them and listening about the great work they did in their life all of sudden you feel that life is this where you are known to so many lives, where you inspire so many people. Life is what they have lived, life is what the great work they have done.
It's good to appreciate others great efforts and kind deeds but then comparing it with your life and thinking that worth life is only theirs is not fair. Agreed that they are known to everyone but you not, they have some world records but you don't, they have inspired many but you haven't, they are remembered by so many for so many years even after their death but you think that you might be not.
But but but...
You are forgetting something...
That,
You are a hope of your Dad, you are a dream come true personality of your Mom, you are more than your life to your spouse, you are the most lovable person to your siblings, you are a special person very rare to your dearest best friend, you are a super hero of your child, you are an inspiration to your grand children, you are an asset to your company, you are treasury to your employees, etc etc.
So very few could affect lives. Agreed, few can to more but it's not that you to none. You do! You too have an importance of your own existence. Not only those lives are worth living but even yours. You are surviving as an individual, standing on your foot with pride of being something very important to your family, friends and associates. Many a times what a normal common man can do even the famous people can't and that is give love to those who love them. Give their precious time and support to their family. Everyones life have it's own balance. Some do great at work, some are great with their relationships, very few can have everything for them. Fame and money are important to few and few prefer love more important. But whatever you don't get is what you are not made for.
Handling family and children, nurturing their lives. Helping kids do their homework and making food for family could not be termed as a less worth thing than being a world famous person on television being praised by million unknowns.
It's only the role that God had assigned to us, comparing the two and taking one as superior and another inferior is not a fair job that you could do.
We as an individual also have enough importance in lives of many than what we can think.
A famous person when dies whole lot of million people feels sad about it. When a common man dies only few hundred or thousands might be sad. But if the person is being remembered for all his good deeds for human race. If they and their good deeds are being remembered and their stories are being narrated to their grand and great grand children by their children rather than being remembered as some famous personality who had done something great once. Then may be dying a life of a not so famous person is not all that bad.
Happiness is different to different people.
Life is different to different people.
