Question

If you were going to create/breed new stock that would bring you recognition, what stock would it be?<br />n<br />nThis question intrigued me. The first thought out of my head was, who do I know that is recognized for creating a new breed? Hmmm, nobody. Does anybody create a new breed? I know there are some people that have designed a new cross breed and called it a new breed but are they recognized by the common cowman or even more, famous for it? Not really. <br />n<br />nSo, what would it take to be recognized or even famous for your work? Is that really what I want to do? Do I want to be famous? Not really. There are a lot of people out there that want there 15 minutes of fame, have you ever seen one of those lame reality shows, but I am not really interested in that. Should I be? Are you? If you are interested in being famous, why? What would that get you that living your present life to the best of your ability doesn't give you? <br />n<br />nAnother thought, do you have to have ability to be famous? For most people it helps but what about famous people like Paris Hilton? What ability does she have? The ability to be an idiot? There doesn't appear to be much ability there but she is definitely famous. What does this say about our culture that somebody with so little ability has such fame?<br />n<br />nAnything I have ever done in my life I have done a damn good job at. I do everything to the best of my ability and I have a lot of ability, but to be recognized or famous has never been a goal of mine. I suppose if I wanted to be famous I would. <br />n<br />nTalking about being famous leads my thoughts to "heroes." Did you have a hero when you were growing up? Someone you wanted to be like? My Darling Wife and I have talked about this many times and we are in the same boat when it comes to heroes. Neither one of us can remember having one. There was nobody we wanted to grow up to be like. We were happy with who and what we were and went from there. Did my lack of a heroes when I was growing up lead me not to desire being famous? Not growing up admiring some famous person, did this stunt my desire to be famous and gain recognition in my life? Is wanting to be famous or be recognized a normal human desire that all humans want, or is it something only certain people strive for?<br />n<br />nSo, I don't have an answer to this question. I am not interested in fame or recognition. Above and beyond that I don't believe a person can " create" a new breed or stock. Cross breeding is an established trait and anybody can do it. A little hard to gain recognition for something the guy down the road could do to if he wanted.<br />n<br />n<strong>I don't like the idea of famous people. Kristin Hersh</strong>
