【正确答案】正确答案： Fame—A Good Stimulus for Greatness Whenever talking about fame, there is no consensus of opinions among people about its advantages and disadvantages. Some people are in favor of fame for it can bring celebrity and regards to one, and more importantly, it can help to attract the public attention. However, other people may stand on a quite different ground by saying that fame is an evil which makes one trapped in and destroys his life. As far as I am concerned, I believe its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Firstly, fame, often regarded as reputation and honor of oneself, can provide a good motivation for people"s life. With strong eagerness to gain fame, it will to a large extent strengthen one"s will and firm his actions towards goals. For instance, when people were jointly fighting for the honor of our motherland in the era of war, it was the fame of our motherland that encouraged us to overcome hardships and struggle for the final success. When it comes to the new era, it is the reputation of our nation that inspires our future efforts to carry out reformation and improvement. Besides, fame can also function as a good tool for people with the world in their hearts for it means a big affection or a powerful leadership. Secondly, fame, often containing more responsibility and higher standards, can be an invisible guidance for your behavior and action. A man of good reputation should bear in mind that he should cling to his self-discipline all the time. For example, if he has enjoyed the fame of contribution to charity, he is supposed to be more concerned with the suffering of starving people or the dropout of middle school students. If she has been known for the beautiful voice, she is supposed to make no mistake in her singing any more. As a matter of fact, those presuppositions are not only laid on by other people, but also paid attention by the fame holders themselves. Therefore, fame can be viewed as a self-improvement and self-supervision factor in their life. Despite the overwhelming advantages of fame, we can by no means neglect its potential risks. The phenomenon of pursuing fame for fame"s sake should be abandoned. Though, like many other things in the world, fame is neither good nor bad by nature. As long as we hold the right attitudes towards fame, it will be a good stimulus which can not only fuel us with great determination and persistence, but also serve well as a monitor for our behavior, winning us much more reputation in return.
