This book is a compilation of interviews and stories with, and about, some special people who have created a niche in the competitive world of celebrity. They come from a variety of backgrounds and are from all over the world. Some sing, some act, some write, some dance or model, but all have sage advice for others who are searching for their special slots in life. These talented people share their dreams of seeking success. Some of these talented people have reached beyond their comfort zones where they have broadened their celebrity and personal appeal even more. This has come via hard work and dedication to their various crafts. These people all have what it takes to be famous and then some. There are even a few who have found success despite sometimes daunting life circumstances which makes achieving that success bittersweet.


A few of the more memorable passages from these interviews are as follows: "No excuses for mediocrity. Life is a gift, appreciate every second and make it count." Shawn Richardz. (2009, p.62) "Be yourself, because no matter who you are there will always be someone who disapproves." Kashy Keegan. ( p.219) "Every morning find one thing , one things that makes you happy, and tell everyone you know about it…" Nhojj. (p.291) "Follow your dreams and make good choices." Donna Solitario. (p.325)

I recommend this book for anyone who needs a little inspiration or a jump start as far as direction. The advice from these various stars should help anyone get and stay on the right path to find success and achieve their dreams!
