Madonna
Ever since she burnt onto the pop scene in the early eighties, Madonna has remained one of the most well-known celebrities in the world. She has shown herself to be a talented singer, songwriter and actress. To have achieved this she undoubtedly has a strong belief in herself and abilities.
It is possible she gained her strong personality through her touch childhood experiences. She went to a strict catholic school, was one of many children, and her family was split up after her mother died from cancer. Eventually, in search of fame, she left college and went to New York with only her suitcase and a few dollars.
Hugely successful, often through controversy, Madonna has always known what the public and media want. She has gone from shocking clothes and pop songs to setting trends and family life. She caused disagreement by playing feminist roles in films and featuring in pop videos with imagines of Jesus Christ.
Throughout all her years and different styles and phrases, she has always been able to give the general public entertainment. Madonna has become one of the biggest stars on the planet, and has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the highest-earning entertainers of her generation.
Even now as she approaches fifty and is a mother, Madonna is likely to contribute to entertain us for many more years, but what nobody can be sure of is exactly what she will do next!
What does the writer say about Madonna’s success?

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
