      Yes, honorable intentions, but I would not want to be famous myself for such acts, but that He, our Lord, alone . . . be glorifed for such acts.  I only say this as this is what He tells us to do, but we are not to boast about it for our own glory.

    I dont want to be famous. This is because I understand through scripture that the desire to become famous is a kind of pride..and your fame, desires everything is vanity..my desire is to live a hidden life in christ..

      Its not really a desire, I can do more work for the lord being famous, I know i can still do plenty not being famous, but for my goals not desires is to help those around the world which in turn would make you famous for doing so smile

    Being a novelist, I would love to see my stories become famous, but I never want to be personally famous.

    I would love to see my stories outlive me and continue to spread the gospel and my testimony for years to come, but I don't ever want to be in a position where I'm approached by fans while going about my daily life (or worse, subject my fiance or our future children to the same).

    I would like to be known, but not famous. Well-known in a group, the romance writing world, in a business as a great psychologist, but not famous. I'd prefer to remain slightly hidden, possible to disappear if I feel like it.

    Yes and no. Both have pros and cons. Being famous can be helpful if you have worthy causes and want to help as many people as possible. You can also use this in a positive way and influence more people positively. The downside can be losing the privacy you sometimes feel you deserve. ^_^

    I would like to be useful, if that brings fame well and good, it might be a positive trait to emulate, if it doesn't bring fame, still I would have been useful to someone and that matters.
