Fame is Easy
FOUND by Rob Pauch
in Portage La Prairie, MB, Canada
Found this in my bank parking lot. It wasn't there when I got out of the truck, because I had to look down to avoid some puddles, but I spotted it while getting back in. It's written on a greeting card.

Is this a "note to self"? A philosophical rambling? Not to put down Rob in Portage La Prairie, Canada, but how many famous people are in his bank parking lot?
that shit is deep.
and somehow it makes a lot of sense.
happy new year everybody--
love, tariq
I wouldn't expect fame to be a big concern in Portage La Prairie!
Is that nonsense supposed to encourage the recipient?
I remembered this from somewhere, but can't find out where from!:
"Anybody can be famous.
Fame is cheap.
fame is easy.
Fame is fleeting.
But try achieving greatness.
Greatness is hard.
Greatness is lonely.
Greatness is work.
Greatness is humbling.
Greatness is a responsibility and greatness lasts forever.
You don't want greatness... do you?"
words of wisdom!
Hayley, I found the same quote
-----

Greatness is a responsibilityand greatness lasts forever.
You don’t want greatness… do you?

But can't find who to attribute it to! Now it is driving me nuts...
Oddly enough, when I googled this ("fame is cheap" + "fame is easy") it came up with a blog from a BDSM website. The "author" Soulhuntre has several quotes similar to this referencing a ball in the heading. Quite odd, but very interesting...
Having a ball…

And the ball said….
Don’t be afraid of greatness.Greatness will not hurt you.Greatness will not embarrass you.Greatness will not trick you.Greatness will not deceive you.Greatness will not harm you.
Greatness will simply reward youfor clearing your path to greatness.
Stay on the ball…

And the ball said….
Money does not equal greatness.Cribs do not equal greatness.Balance does not equal greatness.Fame does not equal greatness.Endorsements do not equal greatness.Winning does not equal greatness.
Only greatness equals greatness.Only greatness equals greatness.
Only greatness equals greatness.
I wonder what "ball" knows this widsom??
