Being Rich Vs Being Famous

             As we all know that there are many rich and famous people around the world. Most of them such as football, David Beckham, musician, Steve Wonder, and inventor, Bill Gates became rich and famous is because of their talent, hardworking and creativity. However, some rich people might not be famous as they are fortunate to be born with a silver spoon. In my opinion, a person should put more efforts on their studies and career in order to be rich and famous. The different aspects of being rich and being famous are lifestyle, social status, and privacy.
            First and foremost, the lifestyle of a rich person is much better than a famous person. Being rich, he can have many things that a famous person might not has. This is because some famous people might not be rich; on the other hand, it is simply easy for a rich person to buy things that he wishes to have. Furthermore, famous movie stars have a more stressful lifestyle. It cannot be denied that they often followed by paparazzi, thus some of the unwanted news about them will be shown on television or printed in magazines and newspaper. Nevertheless, a rich person seldom becomes the headlines among the public as his achievement might not attract the attention of the paparazzi. Therefore, he may have a more comfortable and peaceful lifestyle.
             Secondly, a rich person might have better social status than a famous person. Basically, there are many things to be considered when climbing the social ladder. Those things are your money, your family, who you know and how you came across your money or fame. Billionaires and millionaires are at the top of their social status but are hardly famous to the younger demographic because they are not “famous” by virtue of being presented to the younger generation’s information highway. Famous politicians and movie stars are very different from one another in many aspects. As we all know, a movie stars who is hardworking and has great determination will easily gain respect and admiration from the public. However, a famous president or politician will gain a wide range of fans only while they are in limelight.
             Last but not least, if a person is famous, his privacy might be invaded aggressively by paparazzi and stalked by public. This is because they would like to get the latest news of him and report it to public through mass media. Therefore, it will definitely draw the attentions of the public. Actually, there are many people would like us for what we are and not how much money we have. On the other hand, if he is very rich, people would like him because he is generous and kind hearted person. However, his privacy would be more secured if he always kept a low profile of himself.
             In conclusion, there are some pros and cons of being rich or being famous. As an ordinary person, many factors should be taking to consideration before making the choice of life. In my opinion, a rich person can become famous by doing some charitable works to help those unfortunate people. Whereas, a famous person can also be rich if he has good qualities such as hardworking, determine, intelligent and creative.

Being Rich vs. Being Famous


Every individual wished that they could be either rich or famous. But most of them desire to attain both. This is the pushing force that drags other people to strive and work harder but they never spend their time to put their thoughts, into the meaning and significance of these building blocks of life. Most famous people are probably rich but there are some very big differences between the two terms. Being rich or being famous can be compare by types, social status and the future.
People in this world are just different from each other, ranging from size, background, intelligence and various other factors. Therefore, you also have different types of rich individual and famous person.  Some types of famous people are actors and actress, singers, broadcasters, professional gamers, models, producers, tuition teachers, basically anyone can be famous. The same thing goes with being rich, people who work hard, life insurance policies of their family members dying, the lucky one who hit the jackpot or being rich in illegal way. These are just a few of the different example you can find in a free society.
People who are famous and rich have different social status too. This is because of climbing the social ladder, usually there are a lot of things should be considered. Those are money, family, who you know and how you came across your money or fame. Famous politician and movie stars is not likely with each other even that both of them are famous. A movie star normally gains admiration, while famous politician will gain wide range of fans only while they are in the limelight. Billionaire and millionaires are at the top of social status but they are hardly famous because they are not famous by virtue of being presented to the younger trend right now. A famous actor can have a higher social status if he is more famous than a private millionaire.

The ironic part of being rich and being famous can lose everything at any moment in their future. However a famous person loses their fame, they are usually still famous at some other means. On the other hand, the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” is very true. The entertainment industries often make one famous while dropping another one in a while. But then rich people who lose their money they can gain it back through hard work or applying the same strategies which brought them success. Money can be taken away and be brought back but being famous can only be diminished.

As a conclusion, being rich and being famous is two different things. Just because of you are reach does not mean that you are famous. money make you rich it does not make you famous.

Being Rich Vs Being Famous


      Everyone wishes they could be rich or famous and many wish to be both. It rarely happens that people take the time to really think about what it means to exist in these two veins of life. The biggest difference between rich and famous is that being rich means you have money and being famous means that you are widely known. You can be famous without being rich or being in the news and vice versa. However, there are advantages and disadvantages of being rich or famous person in the society.

      Everybody wants to be rich rather than being poor. That’s a fact. Who do not want to be rich? First of all, you can enjoy a lot of things that money can buy. You do not have to worry about matters related to money, controlling your expenses and how to face with your debt. Also, you do not have to worry about your living, for example, fear for losing a job, saving money to raise a family or children. In addition, you can choose to study where you want, get a bachelor or master degree, get involved in some kind of activities and still do not need to worry about the tuition fees and payments.

      However, being rich does have some disadvantages. Perhaps when you're rich, risk goes out the window, maybe somebody is planning to kidnap your relatives in order to “earn” some money. Clearly, the accounting system in your head tells you that you should save some money for future purposes, but the temptation to spend it immediately is so much that you can not resist and actually you go out shopping and spend your money. Possibly, you will become materialistic.

      Being Famous is different from being rich. Famous people spend their holidays in expensive resorts, get the best hotel rooms and the most efficient service. Moreover, when you are famous, your name is known by everyone. Then, you are invited to the best parties and meet other famous people too. People would admire you for who you are but not how much money you have. Besides, being famous could possibly leads to being rich too, just like many of the celebrities today.

      In my opinion, I prefer being famous then being rich. Social status is easier to climb when you are famous because more people know you, while being rich only buys status. Money does not buy you love. Money does not solve your problems. The more money you have, the more things you have to worry about.

Being Rich or Being Famous by Darron

There are several aspects that we need to consider when you want to be famous or to be rich. Privacy, life and stress are the main concerns of people who would like to be famous or be rich.

Firstly, we have to consider about the privacy when you become famous. Your privacy will be invaded aggressively by paparazzi and stalked by public. They would like to get latest bombing news of you and report it to public. You would easily draw attentions of public. People would like you for who you are not how much money you have. On the other hand, if you are rich, people would like you because you are rich. However, your privacy would be more secured if you’re having a low profile.

Secondly, money is the main lord of people. You can easily get a comfortable life with the money that you own. You can go wherever you want to go, do whatever thing that you want to do without concerning about your finance. However, being famous doesn’t guarantee a comfortable life. Money can get fame while fame can't always get you money. Although being famous could possibly lead to be rich, but it is just rarely to see in this world. For example, a boy who has committed suicide because of love is definitely famous but he doesn’t earn any fortune.

Lastly, being famous or being rich will have to face variety of stresses. Famous people have to face life stress if they are not rich enough to hire body guard to ensure their privacy. Due to their popularity, they have to take good care of their reputation and image in public. Although rich people don’t have to face financial stress but they have to concern about their personal safety. However, they have to face the risk in their life every day. They even have to concern about safety of their family members who will draw attentions from kidnappers.

In conclusion, being rich or famous will bring advantages and disadvantages. Being rich but not fame is the best way of living because you can live comfortable and without any disturbance from others. For those who love attentions from public, being famous is more suitable and fortune comes after the popularity if you are contributed to the society. 

Being Rich Vs Being Famous

           Everyone in this world have their own target to be achieve. Some people aim their target to score straight As in their exam, some people want to have many admirer.But most of the people set their target as to being rich or being famous. But,which one is better?
           Firstly, being rich has more privacy then being famous.If you are rich, you can buy a big land, build a big house and hire some guard to protect your privacy to being visible. But, if you are famous, you have to always take good care of your attitude. This is because reporter will be always watching you. If you make some mistake like scolding waiter in restaurant or kissing in park, then you may appear in the newspaper day.
           Furthermore, if you are rich you may put away your job and have a relax and enjoy holidays with your family. In the other hand, if you are famous you won't have free time to having holidays. Even if got holidays, it will not be a happy holiday because everyone is notice about your life, what you do, where you go, with who and so on.
           Last but not least, rich can lead us to famous. We just have to do something luxury and generous like doing charity or buy the biggest house on Earth and we will be famous. For an example, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and almost all people know his name. In contrast, famous may not definitely lead you to rich.For an example, Edison is famous but its famous is due to exposure of his pornographic. It indeed make him famous although in the negative way but do not make him rich.
          In conclusion, in my opinion i prefer to be come rich instead of becoming famous. However, being rich or famous is not that easy by just saying or wishing. So we have to work more even hard from now to achieve our target.

Different Characteristics of Two Lecturers

            As we all know Mr.A and Mr.B are two of the great Physics lecturers in Multimedia University. Students who were taught by them passed their exams with flying colors. This shows that the efforts of both of these lecturers had paid off. However, some students in MMU prefer Mr.A compared to Mr.B. This is because they showed many differences in some of the aspects such as appearance, attitudes and teaching methods.

           Firstly, the difference between Mr.A and Mr.B is the appearance. Mr.A has a nice and firm butt that Pearl likes but Mr.B doesn't have it. Besides that, Mr.A is taller and more muscular than Mr.B. Mr.B is shorter and thinner but both of them have a mini belly too. Lastly, Mr.A looks younger and energetic which makes students keep staying awake during his lecture class whereas Mr.B looks dull and older. Darron always claim that Mr.B makes him falls asleep during his lecture.

           Mr.A and Mr.B's attitude are totally different. Mr.A is a diligent person. He will explain the lesson that he had taught clearly until the students understand. However, Mr.B is a lazy person. He explained only once without bothering the students understand or not. Besides, Mr.A is friendly. He is willing to discuss and guide students on how to solve questions while Mr.B will only order students to answer questions without giving any further information. Mr.A is also a responsible person. He is willing to sacrifice his time to give extra class for students to learn more so that they can score better in their exam. Unlike Mr.A, Mr.B is an irresponsible lecturer. He often canceled the class without any valid reason and usually come in late for class.

            Mr.A and Mr.B has different style of teaching methods. Mr.A gives an in-depth explanation about solving Physics question and he also explain how to derive the formula from different kinds of Physics' law while Mr.B roughly explain throughout the syllabus and barely explain about how to derive a formula. He just teach how to apply the formula which make me confused about how the formula really works. Mr.A's lecture class is well arranged. He conducts the class in an organized manner; starting from teaching, explaining and after that he derives the formula and then explaining again. Finally he gives us exercise to help us master applying the correct method in solving Physics questions. Meanwhile Mr.B's class is full of surprise. He may start the class with exercises then he only start to explain about the exercise before the end of the class. Mr.A gives an interesting lecture by his unique teaching method whereas Mr.B's class is dry because he is just reading the notes.

           In a nutshell, I think that Mr.A is better Physics lecturer compared to Mr.B. This is due to their different appearance, attitude and also teaching skills. Student will pass the exam with flying color if they were taught by Mr.A instead of Mr.B.
