Fame is very much like an animal chasing its own tail who， when he captures it， does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it. Fame and the delighting popularity that accompanies it， force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction.

　　Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing， dancing， painting， or writing， etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity. And it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style， since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time， the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year， or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits， or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success， fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing， etc.the audience may turn away and look to confer changeable fame which is passing quickly on another.

　　I believe that fame and celebrity， influence and power，success and failure， reality and illusion are all somehow neatly woven into a seamless fabric we laughingly call reality. I say to those who desperately seek fame and fortune， celebrity:good luck. But what will you do when you have caught your tail， your success， and your fame? Keep chasing it? If you do catch it， hang on for dear life because falling is not as painful as landing. See you soon famous and almost famous.

　　名譽(yù)是非常像一個追逐自己尾巴的動物,當(dāng)他抓住它,不知道該做些什么但繼續(xù)追逐它。名譽(yù)和取悅隨之而來,迫使名人參與他或她自己的毀滅。
