Be Meek

Most often, celebrities have their idiosyncrasies, but the way they handle these quirks in their personalities can lead to the success or failure in their attitude. Usually, negative traits are kept away from the public eye, as these could turnoff fans and tarnish their careers. The excuse that celebrities give in order to save their faces from their odd habits is their claim that they are using artists and they can behave the way an artist does.

However, behavior that is off the norm will always be noticed and excuses of using creative license is not match for kindness. When Popular Performer (PP) was invited for an out-of-town gig, everyone on his team as well as the organizers thought he would be easy to work with. Sadly, PP did not waste time proving his reputation as someone who does not speak and mingle much.

As the practice is customary and courteous, every performer invited for the celebration was treated to lunch by the head of the town. PP was considered among the VIPs and therefore, a special place was reserved for him. The food prepared resembled a feast, which was always expected in provincial shows. As other guests were finding their seats, PP left word that he and his assistant preferred to stay at the hotel. The host said that food will be brought to them instead.

After some time, the food arrived. The assistant reprimanded the driver for bringing the food late. The poor driver could not understand where the assistant was coming from, as the hotel and the house of the feast were not that near to each other. The assistant kept rambling that the hunger of PP has passed. Later on, when PP joined the rest of the performers, many noticed that he was not interested and unfriendly toward other people.

In another incident, PP informed the team that he would go to venue later. Thus, the driver of the van that would bring him to the venue, made the extra trip to pick him up. The moment he entered the van, he complained of the smell. The ride was not going to be pleasant, after all.

Although PP has been in the business for many years, he has already established a reputation of being arrogant and focusing only on himself, which are tolerated because he such a great performer.
