Fred Amugi, a seasoned actor from Ghana, is advising people to resist the urge to brag about their accomplishments on social media.
He said that acting in that way is an indication of excessive ambition and can lead to encounters with bad people.
Instead, the Flora tissue ambassador urged people to pray for direction and to always be grateful to God in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz.
“I want to tell people that no matter how successful you become, stay humble and grateful. Don’t boast about your achievements on social media; it’s a sign of over-ambition.
“Instead, thank God for your success and ask for continued guidance. Remember, your accomplishments are not just your own doing, but also the result of help from others and God’s blessings.

“One of my directors, the late Mr. Samuel Ansomenu, once shared a wise quote from Beethoven, a famous musician and philosopher.
“He said, ‘When you become a star, don’t see yourself as one, and don’t call yourself one. Let others call you a star, because the moment you start seeing yourself as one, that’s the beginning of your downfall.’
“I’ve seen many people fall from grace because they forgot why they were successful in the first place. So, always stay humble and grateful.
“As for me, I want to be remembered as someone who lived a good life and made the most of the talent God gave me – acting. If you understand what I’m saying, you’ll know that true happiness comes from living a humble and grateful life,” he said.
