"Fame isn't worth a flea"

By

"Fame isn't worth a flea"

 Walt Disney was once asked, "How does it feel to be a celebrity?" This was his answer:

 " It feels fine when it helps to get a good seat for a football game. But it never helped me to make a good film, or a good shot in a polo game, or command the obedience of my daughter."

 It doesn't even seem to keep fleas off our dogs - and if being a celebrity won't give one advantage over a couple of fleas, then I guess there can't be much in being a celebrity after all."

"Fame isn't worth a Flea" - what simple wisdom. Walt Disney was so talented and even his name is magical.

It has always been amazing to me how many times he failed before he succeeded.  HUGE LESSON IN DON'T QUIT!!!

Walt Disney was a great talent and a good influence on this country.  His successors do not do him justice.

 

But then few do.

Robert, Walt Disney changed the world with his animation and people are trying to match his talents all over the world...they have big shoes to fill!

His wisdom was so simple and pure!

Well, I'm glad to know that fame really isn't worth much because I am not missing out on anything then.  Don't want it and I don't need it!
