Summary

This quote is a reminder that famous individuals often feel compelled to maintain constant success and popularity, failing to recognize that such a state is not sustainable or realistic. It highlights an inherent flaw in the perception of fame, as it goes against the natural fluctuations and ups and downs that life entails. By expecting to be at the peak consistently, famous people may place unnecessary pressure on themselves and neglect to embrace the natural ebb and flow of life's trajectory.
