My Introduction Blog as I Join Steem - STAYING CELEBRATED!

Brief Introduction of Me

My name is Itoro, a Nigerian, Graduate Engineer and a passionate writer. It's fun being around me. I seem not to lack words in my mouth while conversing, could be that's why writing is natural to me.

I am good at content/creative writing and will as a result be providing original and high quality content to this community. I am determined always and of a focused mind. Team-work is preferable to me than individuality. I will contribute my writing skills added to my Engineering knowledge to add value to Steem. I will be glad to collaborate with @Uyobong to take more of Steem to the academic sector.

Much more can be said about me but the space to do that isn't there. Many thanks to @Uyobong, who invited me to join Steem and guided me in His @Writeandearn hub to make this introduction post. Meanwhile, I wish to feed you with some awesome contents bubbling my heart.

Stay Celebrated!

Life at the top is such a pleasant experience but the way leading to it isn't quite an easy travel. It is a race that you must run with so many other runners. Every area of human endeavour is already saturated with passionate individuals seeking for glory, and of people with much vested interests. Glory is a crown that no head would reject.

In the generation of the 90's becoming a celebrity and a household name took years and efforts to attain, and those aspiring were few. Not much people placed emphasis on popularity. During that time, too, they lacked one crucial element to becoming famous; it is publicity. Any good marketer will support that point. If you desire to have a place in the minds of the people then you must grab a good position in the media space.

Fortunate is the generation of today. It is blessed with cheap publicity tools and they are taking advantage of it. In times past, the media space was owned by organisations but today anyone can own an account in the social media space and as such tell personal stories with ease to a wide audience.

The gains of being a celebrity has encouraged us all to exploit opportunities to be one of such. From being a beauty queen to making it in sports, music, comedy, film acting/production, etc, there are lots of organised fora for celebrating greatness. But also, a simple video on YouTube or Instagram can shoot you into glory within a snap of fingers.

The pride and prestige that comes with being a celeb is everybody's dream. Celebs do live the ideal life. They drive exotic cars, live in well built and furnished homes, have regular audience with presidents of nations, do tour nations of the world at will, become brand ambassadors; and with cash in the bank they just are living the "good life".

But with the glory of being at the top also comes the cheap fall that a scandal could bring. As uneasy was the travel to the top so also is it uneasy to remain there. It is often said; "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown". Staying celebrated is a personal decision and determination.

Once an object of honour should remain an object of honour. There are pitfalls that must be avoided. There are "little foxes" that must be kept out of the room. Every celebrity must guard their speech and actions at all times. And of most importance is their love life. There are domestic issues that must not be made public.

Don't lose your honour in the midst of having fun. Remain celebrated!
