Typically, people feel proud about their own country's success but does the country proud of their own people success? The country should be proud of if the people is famous.
The problem having in some country is they don't feel proud if their own countrymen become too famous and success in their life. Why you are you mixing with Hollywood stars? Why are you spending millions of dollar in your birthday bash? They not only envy you, they start to question you and even investigate on your celebrity status.
Why the government is so free in investigating A people success? Why don't they put their manpower in investigating and fixing the country social problem instead? What is the government thinking???
If you become famous one day, would you like your government start monitoring you? Eyeing on how you spend your $$$ and checking on all your family and friends around you because you are famous? I thought that's the job of paparazzi?

The Tipping Point
I would like to introduce another good book to read -
What the writting is trying to sell in this book is like sometimes, minor things that done can make changes and influence the bigger world. According to the author, there are 3 main factors that can tip the whole situation around. They are:
1. The law of the FEW. The few is basically talking about 3 types of person. They are Connectors (people who has very large contact and network), Mavens (people who is extreme knowledable and interest in many fields) and lastly Salesmen (The persuaders).
2. The Stickiness factor that will makes people stick to it like drugs!
3. The power of Context. How the environment, background, and the surcumstances can change 1 person and lead to change many others.
In my opinion, it is quite true as everything big thing start from a small point. This is widely seen in Fashion!
Eg, if a very small group of super wealthy, trendy ladies start to wear Giordano, the less wealthy will always follow the wealthier as they think they are the one who walks in front of fashion, and start buying Giordano. So the middle classs who mix with the upper middle class will be following and so on. Giordano will become a super brand and end up selling at the same price as Calvin Klein clothes.
