Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Do you ever dream of being a celebrity? Would you like to see your face on the cover of a magazine or dress up in designer clothing for a movie premier? Imagine how amazing it would be to hang out with the stars! You could get to know famous actors and musicians and become their friends. You could soak up the sun on the deck of your yacht or fly your private jet to beautiful locations. Everyone would know your name if you were an A-list celebrity.

Someone on the A-list is world famous. They are the best at what they do. A-list actors and musicians are usually people who have won many awards. If a celebrity is on the A-list, they regularly appear in magazines and on the red carpet. They can get into the most exclusive clubs and eat at the fanciest restaurants. Many people look up to them and want their glamorous lifestyle. Rapper Wiz Khalifa is a very well-known celebrity, but he doesn’t think of himself as A-list. However, other rappers have told him that they look up to him as an artist.

Would you like to be an A-list celebrity? What would you do if you were on the A-list?

The celebrity who stands on top of my A-list is Christian Bale. He ’s great actor. I have never watch bad film that he’s act. He’s worked many films  with Christopher Nolan which is great director and most of these films are also top of the IMDB list. For his many films he changed body shape entirely for example in El Maquinista he’s weight down to 55kg and a couple years later he reach 104 kg and make muscles for Batman.He loves his job and i admire his motivation.

My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite of people think he’s arrogant and his nose is high he stays a human and gives a lot of charity to many people all over the world. Besides team players in Real Madrid love him and respect. Carlo Anchelotti says CR7 is a professional in football and private life. Hence he’s an A list celebrity for me.

 Yes. I really would like to be an A-list celebrity, especially when I was young.



  I would have many many friends who were very famous and rich. When I was young I was eager fame and gain. I didn’t want to be despised ,just wanted to rise head and shoulders above others. So, I really would like to be an A-list celebrity, I dream that.



  But now, about several ten years passed, I see, that only was one’s vanity thought maybe every one had ever thought that.



  Now I see any friend who be made by external substance is not long, is unstable. If yourself were not excellent,  you would not have excellent friends and it was no use to know any one. Only when you were excellent enough, you could attract the people who were excellent enough and become long friends.



  It is not important that whether you rise head and shoulders above others or not. it is important that whether you are working hard and diligence or not.
