Humility Matters

Often, one’s background could dictate one’s choices in life. Such adage applies to everyone regardless of status. Choices matter, but how choices are made is just as important. For children of celebrities, the pressure to live up to the expectations of the followers of their parents can be a burden. A celebrity’s child, if not properly raised, might even rebel against having a famous parent.

Coming from a respected family and being raised by reputable parents, Reluctant Personality (RP) realized at an early age that he is not an ordinary child. A well-off lineage and high-profile parents have spelled his fate and RP knew that he could either live to the expectations demanded by heritage or live incognito.

As RP was growing up, the public knew about his existence, but his privacy was well kept. He himself had not exerted effort to gain attention and declare his presence. RP is good-looking and can pass off as a showbiz heartthrob. Given the connections of the family that raised him, RP could have done that and lose his privacy in the process. He could have enjoyed the limelight.

However, RP has turned out to be different compared with other children of celebrities. Instead of exposing himself to the public or displaying his real identity, RP preferred to take the backseat. Occasionally, he would be seen with a noted parent, but more often, he would shy away. Allegedly, he has consciously expressed his desire that he would rather be a private citizen and work in a private company. RP does not want to draw attention to himself and in case, he is recognized, he politely acknowledges the recognition and goes on his way.

By contrast, the humility of RP is in stark contrast with the family that raised him, who has the responsibility of making sure he is well-guarded. His parents can sometimes be a bit showy and catch people off-guard with their attitude.
