What do the underlined words mean within their context?

Even with determination and talent, not everyone can achieve the level of fame they desire in the competitive world of entertainment.

Years of hard work and dedication could catapult a talented individual into the realm of celebrity status.

With the right opportunity and timing, anyone may find themselves thrust into the spotlight of fame. Despite their efforts, aspiring actors might struggle to break through the barriers of obscurity in their pursuit of fame.

Some individuals possess an innate charisma and talent that will inevitably lead them to become household names in the realm of celebrity.

For many, the harsh realities of the industry mean that despite their dreams, they won't achieve the level of fame they had hoped for.

• Asking for permission (could = very polite)
