It seems that pop stars today enjoy a privileged
style of living. Wherever they go, thousands of people turn out to greet them. The
crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully-dresses
idols. Stars are surrounded by their managers, press-agents, and often by their
bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their
comings and goings are reported, as stars are news. They must constantly avoid meeting
crazy fans, particular teenagers who idolize them. Some people say that stars
are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards
they receive for this sacrifice is incalculable.
It is right that the stars should be paid
in this way? It is all very well for people engaged in many other professions
to envy the successes and rewards of these stars. However, those who make
envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only he
tip of and iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others
struggling to earn a living. A man who attempts to become a star is taking
enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever
get to the very top/ He knows that years of concentrated efforts may be
rewarded with complete failure. But he knows that the rewards for successes are
very high indeed, and if he achieves tile goal, he certainly earns them.
