Why are we who we are?

As in, how come people like Britney Spears get to be born as themselves with such lucky lives? Okay so that sounds a bit weird and you may be thinking she doesn't seem happy but what I mean is that my dream is to be a famous actress and/or singer, and I...

know it will never happen for me whereas it's happenning for people like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato and all that. But I also do realize that there are also people less fortunate than me, and I know that there is lots of poverty out there, and what did those people do to make them be born into that? How does it all work? I mean after all, (though there are a few) you got to admit that many people out there wish they were someone else, like a successful athelete, or something like that..

most famous people have worked hard in their lives to achieve their level of success.

True, but like, a less priviledged person could be willing to work ten times that but not be fortunate enough to get the opportunity to..

not always
you clearly don't want it that bad because youve already lost hope
just believe in your dream...lol

Why are we who we are?

Combination of genes and environment... It's just luck the genes you inherit (of course your parents do have a limited variety to pass on) and the situations you find yourself in... Of course then there's hard work and determination and all that, but mostly it's just luck...

If you want what you never had, you must do what you've never done.

I agree with blerggher, we became who we want to be.. they are there because they work hard for it.. and don't say that you cant be like them..u cant be like them because you think of it as the way it is..u are very pessimist about it.. if you feel that way the you wont be like them or achieve any success if you don't think so..be positive thats all I have to say..
