Contest of July#1 by @sduttaskitchen| Which do you value more: Name or Fame?

_{screenshot from my JW library app}

There's a man who asked his creator for a favour. In his request he said: Two things I ask of you. This clearly shows that what he's about to request for is very useful to his life. He continue: Give me neither poverty nor riches. How does that sound to you. Imagine having this great chances to communicate with your creator, I know most of us would request for billions and long life but this man's request was opposite. There must be reason, isn't it?

According to him, he choose not to be rich nor poor because of the consequences that come after this two factors. He said: Just let me consume my portion of food, So that I do not become satisfied and deny you, Nor let me become poor and steal and dishonor your name.

Do you find anything interesting from the story of this man. In this world people value one thing or the other depending on their own perspective. Maybe at a time you will like been mentioned as one of the people that contributed in building steemit. That has brought you to fame but in the other hand, what about your reputation, the name. After you've been spotlighted, only to find out that you have been using Ai to create content which is not tolerated. That's actually a bad name.

Let dive into my own perspective concerning Name and fame

Name has to do with reputation, how people know you, your character and your integrity It reflects the trust, respect, and admiration earned from others through actions and behavior. As such when we talk about have a good name it means you're being known for your values, principles, and positive impact. That's why some people will say: Do you know what you have done to my name , my reputation? It's worth more than anything else. Am not saying fame is doesn't worth, but what would you gained being famous with ad reputation?

I love it when someone said, "I like this because he's straightforward and reliable". So, having a good name is more meaningful and valuable to me, as it represents a genuine and lasting legacy.

It's depends, of course because for my I'd say been someone who been recognized is an achievement and at the same time, when people trust me because of my reputation, my actions, its makes me happy. Having a good name and fame brings a lot of opportunity to us. My opinion is that though fame is important in our life, I think having a good name is the best. Furthermore I prefer finding a balance between having a good name and fame.

Like I said name has to do with reputation, respect and good conduct. When people believed in you, trust you, rely on you, it's means you have high reputation. From the name fame, it's means when someone is popular like a celebrity, influencer and other famous legend.

Now what different name from fame? The difference Is that, having a good name might be within the society, city, state or country. For example when someone faithful, straightforward, and reliable, it will only trend or Known within the surrounding. It's might be difficult for people in other country. Also fame in the other hand is someone is being trend, popular, influencial. Have you ever imagined how celebrities trend. One thing about fame is that it's can lead to a total changes in ones life. The influence of fame can make someone with 1k followers to increase to 1m followers with a day.

To achieve a good name we must live by good conduct. By our actions, or work, our behavior we can make people to trust us. Achieving game is not easily as it sounds because there's a lot of works to do in other to succeed. Some of our favourite celebrities, Davido, Wizkid, and others starting their journey step by step before the finally gotten to the spotlight. So I believe that the way we plan our life and relate with people can also contributed in achieving a good name and fame.
