    If you need to build a monument to yourself, you don’t deserve a monument. Building a monument to yourself is like giving yourself a plaque for a lifetime achievement award. It means a lot if you receive it from an organization representing your profession. It means nothing if you just have a plaque made and put it in your wall.
