“The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.”
— Al Pacino
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is famous, everyone around them is usually very polite and kind, even if they don't mean it. This happens because people want to be liked by the famous person or they want to get something from them. Imagine a celebrity going to a restaurant. The staff might give them the best table and extra attention, not because they truly like the celebrity, but because they know the celebrity's status could help the restaurant's reputation. This makes it difficult for the famous person to tell who really likes them for who they are, and who is just being fake. In real life, this can be exhausting and lonely because genuine friendships are hard to find. To apply this lesson, it's important to value honesty and look for people who treat you the same, regardless of your status or achievements.
