Rabbi Moshe Haber argues that attributing success to oneself—whether in wealth, status, or righteousness—inevitably leads to a destructive path of arrogance. Instead, a truly humble person should deflect recognition toward their parents, teachers, and God, viewing their achievements as blessings they do not inherently deserve. The text highlights a tension between modern societal practices, like charity galas and public honors, and the biblical ideal of humility found in the lives of great prophets and kings. While acknowledging that encouragement and milestones are necessary for motivation, the Rabbi warns that relying on public validation can corrupt one's character. Ultimately, the source suggests that true peace and spiritual integrity are found by maintaining a delicate balance between putting in maximum effort and refusing to own the resulting glory. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/khlh01lv3xyb3vnvokc8b/The_Prism_of_Achievement-3.10.26.pdf?rlkey=8bfut38uav0i6rtmpev9kzg6v&dl=0
