Lesson 8

Preparation

Celebrity

Admit it or not, we have this silent wish to be treated
like a celebrity. Why not? What are the perks of being a
celebrity? Well, first you are well recognized in the society.
Everyone is interested about you. Even more, others are
obsessed with you. They treat you like a god, worship you.
They give you the best of things, walking on a red carpet,
staying in a seven-star hotel suite and riding a limousine.
You ask for it, they’ll give it. You have greater influence over
them.

With fame, comes money. People are willing to pay millions just to have a
glimpse of you or even have your autograph. Isn’t a great feeling to be rich, famous
and well loved by everybody?
