What is accomplished by us making a "name" for ourselves? In time, everyone is forgotten, even kings and conquerors. Everything everyone creates falls to dust and passes away. Our bodies rot in the ground, and our marble monuments eventually become dust as well. The only one we need to impress is God, because only God endures. If we do right in God's eyes, we are remembered, and that's the only way we or any of our deeds will ever be remembered in the long term.
