Chapter One - Mishna 13


He who wants to make a name for himself...
Hillel used to say: "The person who wants to be famous so he will be honored, will lose his name." Our Rabbis have taught that , "A person who runs after honor - honor will run away from him." What happened to the "big shot" in the picture? He brags and puffs out his chest thinking he should be honored. But like a balloon, his bubble will burst. No one will remember him.
