Being Popular Versus Being Known... and So On


My mentor was talking to me the other day and he again brilliantly highlighted the difference between, “being popular and being known.” On the fleeting nature of popularity, he said something to the effect of, “no matter how entertaining they may be, every carnival leaves town at some point.” As has become typical, our conversation  was on my mind for some time and later had me think further: “There is a  difference between, “being popular, known, remembered, and historic.” Aside from being genuinely hilarious, he always give me food for thought, and you know the appetite crazy round these parts. Find a spark and catch a fire, whatever comparison suits you.
