-Yes, I do. First of all, it is very interesting to leam their biographies, because sometimes it seems that it is very simple to become an outstanding person. But such biographies teach us that talent is only 1% and hard work is 99% of success. Second, when you leam about difficulties they have come through, you feel proud of them, of our Motherland and even of yourself being a Russian.

They have to prove their right to do what they want and the way they want. They usually have many problems because they feel responsible not only for themselves, but for the people around them and their country. To add to this, being creative, they usually suffer from their wish to express the unexpressible.
-Do you want to be famous in your future?
-On the one hand, I want to be famous because I want my parents and my country to be proud ofine. On the other hand, being an outstanding person is a great responsibility and it is very difficult. So, I do not really know if I want to be famous.
