About this Quote

This quote by Jerry B. Jenkins speaks to the idea that fame is not all it is split up to be. He has written books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton, Hank Aaron, and Billy Graham, and has seen firsthand that popularity is not always a positive experience. He recommends that popularity looks great only to those who do not have it, as they are not aware of the difficulties and pressures that include it. Popularity can be a double-edged sword, as it can bring both favorable and negative attention. It can bring wealth and recognition, but it can also bring analysis and criticism. Jenkins' quote works as a suggestion that popularity is not constantly what it seems which it can be a hard and challenging experience.
