Pursuing honor

Hi,

"Honor is different from any other acquisition. For any other acquisition, one who works at acquiring it may succeed, even if for a limited time. For honor, the very act of working hard and struggling to get it causes honor to be removed from him."

(Mili d'Avot on Pirkei Avot 1:13)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
