Hello everyone! I'm participating in this week's QC contest, which asks us to reflect on the topic of Fame. Here are my thoughts on the questions presented:

When would you consider yourself famous on Hive or any other social media platform?
If one talks about fame, it's something I genuinely haven't given much thought to. When I initially joined Hive and other social media platforms, my focus was never really on getting famous or becoming a well-known figure. However, if I were to truly consider it, the idea of fame, while seemingly appealing to many, instantly brings to mind a significant weight of responsibilities. It's a complex concept. As for when exactly I would consider myself famous, that's a question I genuinely can't answer with certainty. Right now, my thoughts lean more towards simply being recognized for the quality of my work as an artist or perhaps even as a coding tech guru in the future 😂. That's the extent of what I can envision at this point, especially since I'm deeply passionate about learning to code, and that's precisely what I plan to study in school once I get admitted.
How would you feel if you became famous?
Since I'm not someone who actively aspires for fame, I honestly don't think it would necessarily make me happy. There’s a certain comfort and freedom that comes with anonymity, and I find myself quite content with that. I've always been someone who rarely engages in extensive online chats or seeks out broad public attention, even up to this very moment. Because of this inherent preference, the idea of fame or widespread recognition doesn't particularly move me or excite me. Nevertheless, I hold strong faith, and I thank God for whatever path unfolds in the future, trusting that everything happens for a reason.
Do you think that fame would give you any kind of power? How would you use it?
I don't really know or truly believe that fame inherently brings power, although it might grant a certain degree of influence or leverage in various situations. However, true power, in my view, is something one has to consciously acquire through wisdom and understanding, and more importantly, be profoundly responsible enough to wield it wisely. Power without wisdom can easily be misused, often driven by the desire to please specific individuals or even oneself, leading to unintended consequences. I would much rather prioritize being wise, decisive, fair, and honest in all my interactions, especially with those who might look up to me. I firmly believe that I am not anyone's boss; we are all human beings, free to choose what we like and who we want to follow. If you show me respect, I will certainly reciprocate. If you choose not to, I generally don't concern myself with it, as long as you don't cross any boundaries. I will always treat you with basic human dignity, even if you harbor dislike for me, but crossing a distinct line of disrespect or malice will definitely lead to a different kind of response.
I'm incredibly grateful to those who have helped me so far on my journey, and to all of you who take the time to read my posts. Your valuable feedback truly helps me grow and constantly improve my work. Thank you!
