who wants to be relevant?

first of all the question is to broad.. so let me narrow it down.. who wants to be relevant to world, meaning one tweet can make or break someone or something, tons of fans at the same time haters, living like a celebrity that makes everything you do, say or look is magnified and lots more..
am now about to finish reading Francis Kong's "Only the Real Matters" it's an inspirational Christian book(YES am Christian c;). Reading the book made me realize that Money, Power and Fame can yes make you but most certainly DESTROY you. The book also speaks about having Christ in your life for you to be genuinely happy (debatable), complete (debatable), and storm proof (debatable). So going back to the topic in relation with the book I mentioned, if you want to be relevant, in what aspect would you want to be relevant? Money, fame or power? Next question is, knowing the trend(George Eastman, Elvis Presley, and Paul Getty) all of them having money, fame and power then committing suicide or just plain ruining their life, would you still want to be like them?
So now you might ask what if you are a Christian and you have all of the three elements, and also you are relevant to the world, would you be next to kin with those three men above? My answer base on my not so meticulous observation, no Christian figure is super relevant to the world, or even to a country. Here in the Philippines you may say that we have Bro. Eddie, Bro. Velarde and of course my favorite Bro. Ed Lapiz, but exactly how relevant are they? I don't think they can mass up to the level of Willie Revillame, Cris Aquino or even just one Tulfo men.
What makes the Born Again Christian off to most of the people or the masses? Why do people tend to be in another religion but do not follow the system or the people in the system, Carlos Celdran said that this question is childish, and bitter oh and naive, well, as what my parents thought me, if you think you can cook better, go then and cook it your self, if you all you'll do is protest and talk out loud about it, why don't just go to another chef? I know, my points are weak, but trust me, vocally I can some how defend it or relay it much better. haha.(challenges for debate would require beers and a dictionary for the Conyo's and Amboys). Again, i went off topic. tsktsk. I hope am not digging my own grave here. anyway, Relevance, do you really really want it? Can you handle it? And lastly Can you be Relevant by having Christ as your center? ( i think you can't{just a thought though}).
