Who Are You?

A random quote:

You may be famous, but you may not be known;

You may be known, but you may not be famous.

So, what's it mean?

Even though the entire community, company or organization knows your name, your talents and your actions, it doesn't necessarily mean that they know the real you. They do not know your essence that makes you you. In the end, what others say and think will influence them to think or say it that way too. So if they see you as a miscreant, a felon, then you'd be seen like that by everyone. Your infamy knows no bounds at that time.

On the other hand, you may be known by a lot of people. In hindsight, it means you've a lot of friends. But does that make you popular? Do people listen to you when you speak? Though they know you from the inside and outside, do they bother to follow your lead? Will you be able to make them follow your march? How long will the momentum last, in that case?

Think about that.
