Becoming Conceited

While a good talent deserves all the respect and accolade, he/she should learn to behave and not let attitude get the better of him/her. During the past years, the career of Network Discovery (ND) has been on the upswing. The fact that ND is not really of leading lady status has worked to her advantage. Her roles in various movies and TV shows as part of the supporting cast have been consistently coming. Hence, ND could not complain because her status allows for wider financial opportunity.

Although her career is not yet that long in the entertainment industry, ND has gained the friendship of several big and influential celebrities of the business, with no distinction of network affiliation. ND has friends from all networks, as indicated by the people who like her posts in social media, and she could work in projects of any media outfit.

Although ND has managed to keep a low profile these days after a heartbreak a few months ago, she has remained visible. Her recent projects have all been blockbusters or landed high in the ratings game. She is an impressive performer, and apparently, she knows her worth.

One time, ND was invited to a party with her friends. Before arriving, ND called the host and made a few requests, which raised quite a number of eyebrows. ND left instructions that someone has to be assigned to prevent people from having a photo with her. The moment she and her entourage entered the venue, the people who saw her were puzzled. ND was walking with her head held up high and without care. A quick glimpse from the left to right seemed to indicate that she was looking for something. However, as soon as the people near her realized that ND was doing, they smiled. Obviously, ND was anticipating that someone would ask for a selfie. The crowd was different because no one bothered to approach ND.

As her career moves up, ND seems to be developing an attitude that she is already too famous and a thinking that she would be mobbed by fans. While the Filipino audience might know her, hardly would fans crowd an actor/actress who plays a supporting role in movies. It seems that ND is already too full of herself with the illusion that fans would bug her for poses. ND should remember the hard truth that while most of her close friends might be mobbed by their fans, she, by contrast, has too few to even make an impact.

“True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.” - Ralph W. Sockman
