Hopefully my words will entice your ears to listen or your eyes to read. We all have dreams and visions that we feel must be shared with someone; so why not you? Fame is an over-rated term and if you had fifteen minutes of it what would you really do? Surely not write about it and I serious doubt that you would be giving a speech.
Likely as not you would barely even notice what you were into. Though let's say you knew it was fixing to happen, would talk about yourself or someone else? Would you talk about what could be done to change the world? Why not instead take your fifteen minutes to bring someone else up the ladder? After all, other people are why you gained this fifteen minutes, not yourself.

Boast about an accomplishment of someone else you know, for the time will come when: Should everyone do this, that it will come back to you again. Time is shorter than one thinks and should never be spent upon only ourselves for the simple reason it takes time to create time.
For what good is fame without using it wisely unto others and giving something that can be remembered throughout generations? In fifteen minutes one cannot change the world but one can bestill new thoughts into the minds of a younger generation; all it takes is one simple little phrase to spark a fire in a child and one child throughout their life can inspire many.
For is life really about receiving or is it about teaching and giving? What aspect can one not see clearly that each one of the three are really the same? For when we teach we are giving as receiving and when we give we have taught and in the same have received!
Take your fifteen minutes of fame and spend it with a child and your fame will live long; as the child will remember. When older the child will in return do the same and repeat the name of that person who gave whole heartedly and unselfishly in hopes of creating a new line for love.
Maybe this fifteen minutes of mine was used wisely and understandably, not for the personal gain of myself; but rather for the gain of those who read? For again I repeat, "What good is fame if used for yourself?".
