We often say you are legend or famous. Although we use the two words in the same sense, the two words are not synonymous in the real sense. Again, the opposite is not the case.

What is famous?

_ If you can do very well in a subject and become well known, it is called famous.

What is a legend?

_ He is called a legend if he can do very well in any subject and if there is publicity that he has done better than what he has done.
