All about glory
Work hardand you can striveI agree that in some cases it is. If, for example, someone is seeking glory through finding the cure to cancer or some other disease that it is defiantly worth shooting for.

If you're that type of person that wants attention and money than yes, fame and glory are worth seeking. If not, then no, don't go searching after fame and glory if it's not what makes you happy. Search for what makes you happy.
Disagree. Fame and glory don't always make you content especially if you have no one to share it with. There are also other goals worth pursueing.

Disagree. Fame and glory are not what makes people happy. It can add to it if used in the right way, but should never be the focus.

I disagree. Fame and glory certainly last longer than the body of man. They give a legacy to his name, and can somewhat fulfill him during his lifetime. However, the pursuit of fame and glory can cause a man to miss other, more fulfilling things such as love, acceptance, and satisfaction.

Eh. I mean, why NOT go for your dreams, right? But while you seek these superficial things, have good intentions. Have a good heart, be humble.

But there's also the bad side to all the fame and glory- money IS the root of all evil, so I hear.

I don't really agree. Money and fame should not be your goal in life. It shouldn't be all you stive for because money and fame doesnt make a

    However as Zamperini points out; “The difference between recognition and attention is self esteem.”(Zamperini 21) Do people seek attention or recognition? The key lies in whether the individual has self esteem, whether or not they feel worthy of positive attention. One can break the detrimental cycle of self loathing “through hard work and accomplishments” (21) as Zamperini notes. Everyone deserves the sense of bliss that accompanies high self-esteem, they just might have to work for…

    A lot of people misunderstand what leads to success. Success is more than just being able to fill your bank account with loads of money, it’s about being satisfied with the lifestyle that you have. Of course having money makes you happy, but it can’t buy happiness, love, respect, or even trust. Everyone is born with their own unique talents and is better at a specific skill compared to…

    To be successful is an accomplishment that is honorable and deserving of recognition, but when you are the strong hand in helping someone else achieve their dreams and life goals you have made an impression on the world that will perpetuate goodness for an endless amount of time. Self indulgence only lasts until we get weak or fail at something. Then we have nothing left to draw from. To promote someone other than ourselves is an accomplishment that will fill our soul with light and rejuvenation to be drawn upon endlessly. Spreading goodness and kindness becomes a continuous fountain of strength for our own…

    Most humans, I hope, strive and yearn for happiness in whatever they do. It’s almost as if it’s a basic human need. They want to “feel good,” content, and satisfied with whatever they do or have. In the Jewish Text “Ethics of Our Fathers” it is written, “Who is Rich? One who is happy with his portion.” I wholeheartedly believe this scripture. People always want more and more, yet they never seem to be contempt. They want the next best car, or the nicer shirt, but they can’t seem to achieve the happiness they so desire. Unfortunately we see often in the news of a wealthy businessman, or a famous actor/actress who are either arrested or worse, found dead because of an alcohol or drug related event. Why do these wealthy, successful and beautiful people do this to themselves? They have everything there heart desires at their fingertips, but there is something visibly lacking. I believe that it’s because they weren’t able to achieve true happiness and they fell into a bad depression.…

    Only a scare amount of people are destined to be the President of the United States, to be astronauts, to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, or to find a cure for a terminal disease. All of us are capable of significant accomplishments and achievements throughout each of our lives. As Mother Teresa or St. Teresa of Calcutta states this quote, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love,” it signifies extreme importance through society in which people accomplish things rather large or small; love is always present during the accomplishments not matter the size of the achievement. Not everyone is exposed, or afforded, the opportunity to do great things; whether fame, money, or motivation tend to get in the…

    In this competitive world, it almost seems indispensable for people to at least pursue one thing to survive. Does it mean that people all have to strive to accomplish something? Or does pursuing actually bring any enhancements or happiness to people’s lives? The answer might be very debatable because pursuing something might not be always ended with a great triumph or satisfaction. Nevertheless, Chris Gardner in the movie titled “Pursuit of Happyness” struggles to become a stock broker while going through troubles in his life and finally succeeds. Also, I as a student who wants to be a musician am now seeking the way to make my dream come true. When I see Christ Gardner from two different angles, he seems to be both my alter-ego and also a totally different person.…
