Have  you  ever  known  anyone  famous?  If  so,  you  may  have  found  that  they  are  remarkably  similar  to  the  rest  of  us.  You  may  have  even  heard  them    to  people  saying  there  is  anything  different  about  them.  "I'm  really  just  a  normal  guy,"    an  actor  who  has  recently  rocketed  into  the  spotlight.  There  is,  of  course,  usually  a  brief  period  when  they  actually  start  to  believe  they  are  as  great  as  their    fans  suggest.  They  start  to  wear    clothes  and  talk  as  if  everyone  should  hear  what  they  have  to  say.  This  period,  however,  does  not  often  last  long.  They  fall  back  to  reality  as  fast  as  they  had    risen  above  it  all.
