Problem: Article: If you have been famous for a long time or received lots of recognition from a young age, it might be difficult for you to see what other people think about being famous. Try to remember what you thought about celebrities and their lifestyles before you became famous. Knowing this will help you understand how others treat you so that you can respond more gracefully. For example, pre-adolescents reportedly value fame over all other prospects for the future. This means that you have a coveted role for this age group, and have an opportunity to share the realities of your experience with young people who are highly interested. It's all too easy to negatively affect your image with just one misstep, harsh word, or thoughtless action. Take a minute or two to be friendly with a fan (or a group of fans); most will be respectful of your private time if you provide some degree of openness when in public. Because of inevitable mixed opinions of you that will pop up, many fans end up pleasantly surprised to find that celebrities they like are actually nice. When you talk to individual fans, don't think about maintaining your image or bolstering your reputation. Try to talk to them with empathy, sharing in the excitement of the moment together. If you are faced with a fan who is younger than you for example, it would not be appropriate to act cool and aloof. When responding to fans in comment sections and on social media, keep your replies brief and cheery. If someone else handles this responsibility for you, make sure that you check in with this person to make sure that they are maintaining a fun, carefree voice. Being famous means recognizing that you have the responsibility to influence people in a serious way. This can be an overwhelming realization, and should not be an excuse to inflate your ego. Just like a comic book hero, responsibility means having respect for the world that you wield influence over. Try not to push your personal agenda--think outside of yourself for things you can do that others will benefit from. Use your fame to inspire your fans to speak up about things they care about. Because there are many eyes on you, you can motivate your fans to accomplish things and emphasize the importance of working toward a greater good more generally.Take advantage of your star power to draw attention to causes you feel strongly about. Take, for example, the celebrity couple who sells the rights to photos of their newborn children to donate that money to charity. Even just spreading the word about a charity event in conversation with the press can make a big difference. You can also broach important issues, making talking points out of parts of your life. If someone asks "How are you keeping up with your education and keeping up your YouTube persona at the same time?" or something similar, you have the opportunity to share advice about juggling popularity that could help your peers. Opportunists are those who seek a relationship or working partnership with you in order to have access to your popularity by association or your financial resources. If someone you don't know asks you to involve him in your fame, and he doesn't seem to be interested in what the work itself is, proceed with caution. Having a strong, responsible hold over your finances will give you a good sense of what sorts of arrangements you can afford to enter into and those you cannot. An awareness of your financial situation can also make it easier to make decision about jobs you want to take and ones you can do without.
Summary: Understand how others view fame. Address fans with calm kindness. Accept your responsibility. Embrace the voice that comes with fame. Be on the lookout for opportunists.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use the Piano Technicians Guild website (http://www.ptg.org/4DCGI/Directory/RPT/Person.html) to locate a technician in your area. If you're planning on buying an acoustic piano, you'll need a good technician to maintain your piano over the years. You'll also want them to go with you when you find a piano you're about to buy, to help you check it out for flaws or potential problems. Most technicians will be happy to do so, knowing that they are building a relationship with a potential long-term customer. If you're looking for a used piano, you may try asking your piano technician if they know of any for sale. They may have recommendations and probably know first-hand whether the piano is of high enough quality. Talk to music teachers, performers, and piano technicians to ask for their favorite brands and styles. You will have the most luck talking to someone who has actually played a particular brand extensively and can tell you how they feel about it, as well as warn you of any long-term problems or shortcomings. For digital pianos, some preferred brands are the Yamaha Clavinova series ($1,800-$10,000) and the Roland HP series ($2000-$8000). For acoustic pianos, Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Kawai, and Baldwin are all considered reliable brands. Each piano is best judged on its own independent merits. Visit a piano showroom or large music store with plenty of pianos to try. Staff should be happy to let you play any of the pianos on display (provided you play at an appropriate volume). Try as many as possible to get a sense of what sounds and feels the best to you. Bring a friend, preferably a musical one, to give a second opinion. Ask them to play while you listen. Take their advice on which pianos sound best, but remember your own preference is what's important, as you will be the one playing it. Try pianos side-by-side instead of going to several different stores. Most showrooms and piano suppliers have plenty of brands and styles, and you'll be able to compare them better if you play them one after the other. Make note of which pianos you liked the best, wait a day or two, and come back to play them again. You may feel differently about some of them the second time around, and having a few days to think will also help you weigh other factors such as cost. If you're buying an acoustic piano, bring your technician with you this time. Show them the pianos you're considering and ask them to take a look and make sure they are of high quality. The sales staff should be fine with this; if they aren't, find another store. If the piano is going to be primarily for your children, bring them in to try out your favorite pianos. Children will be more likely to show an interest in music and work hard in their practice if they feel a connection to the piano and an involvement in selecting it.
Summary:
Find a registered piano technician. Ask for brand recommendations. Try some pianos at a showroom. Wait a few days and visit your favorite pianos again.
