Famous vs Popular

Famous – Very well known

Popular – 1) Favoured by many people 2) Generally admired by great numbers of people

It’s one thing to be famous, another to be popular. Agree ? Even the dictionary’s explanation says as such. A famous person may not be popular, while a popular person is more likely to be famous. A lot of people may know you cos you are famous, but they may not like you. But if you are popular, many people will at least start to notice you and possibly grow to also like you and becos of that, you will be become famous. Interesting..

Who would you rather be ? A famous person or a popular person ?
