Simplified meaning
Fame often comes from how many mistakes and wrong ideas people have about someone new or unknown. When a person becomes well-known, many people start talking about them. Sometimes, these talks are based on rumors, mistakes, or things that aren't fully true. It’s like if someone new starts at school and people start saying things about them that aren’t really right. Over time, all these mixed-up ideas can make that person seem very famous, even if much of what is known about them isn't accurate. To apply this to life, it means understanding that being famous doesn't always mean people know the real you; they often know a version created by others’ words and misunderstandings.
