It is something that many, many people seek today. It may be the most important goal in life even! Today, we have so many different tools to make it, but so few actually does. Fame - to be famous - is equal to success, living a good life, being filthy rich and being in love. Yes, the one goal for modern man isn't a relationship built on love, vast riches or even a good job: We want to get famous! If only a little while, if only for a small crowd... But fame is relative and celebrities are only famous in certain groups. So it's hard to say how and when you are famous. To get recognised is no easy task. If there was a list showing how to do it, it would maybe look something like this:

1). Do something extraordinary, because no one ever got famous being ordinary.

2). Know how and where to reach out to others, because it's all about finding the right crowd.

3). Work hard - but don't expect hard work will automatically lead to instant fame.

4). Be persistent - One hit wonders are soon forgotten and the real successful always follow up their success.

5). Do something you KNOW how to do! Find your thing, then exploit it to the best of your ability.

6). Not everyone has the stuff to reach fame. If you've tried over and over again with no result and you feel there is nothing left that you can do, then maybe you should give up or at least take a break and let your ideas mature for some time.

I once wrote a list, similar to this, on how to be an original and it's very reminiscent of this list. The two are closely linked together, since originals often get famous in certain circumstances.

Why is it so important then? Why do we want thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people to recognise us and to admire us? It certainly brings and enormous feeling of accomplishment and confirmation of our personality: When so many people follow you, then you must have something, right? Something unique.

"I, me, mine" or "Me, Myself and I" are common "sayings" and it is in our nature to seek something splendid for ourselves. Yes, after all, it is only myself I care about, not anyone else and the same thing goes for you too, I assure you. You might care for others and I think Albert Einstein once said that "A life lived for others is the only life worth living" but the truth is that how much you might love another person, in the end it is only you. 

I love video games, I love writing about them, I love making movies and I love editing them but what I want above all is to get recognised for what I do. I want others to compliment me, I want them to be jealous of my talent and I want them to suck up to me and think that they're my best friend. I haven't accomplished that yet but I'm not quitting yet. No, sir. You see, the last but most important thing to do to get famous is to never, NEVER doubt that you have what it takes to get famous.

So when I ask you to take a look at my latest videos on youtube and check out our new review of "Rabbids Go Home", I'm just hoping you're someone important enough to make me either famous or very, very rich.
