One of the most dangerous things a person can do is believe their own hype. No matter how much of a messianic phenom the media proclaims one to be, you must not believe the hype. This is generally a recipe for disaster.
There are those who ascended to greatness by using positive hype, and negative criticism (P. Diddy and Jay-Z to name but a few), but this is tantamount to dancing on the edge of a giant razor because those that praise you and claim you’re “the One” will be the very same people that turn on you and cut you to shreds whenever the opportunity arises.
