Don’t worry about whether or not a rabbi will have a better afterlife than you. Worry about living the best life you can so that you can be a source of pride and nachas to your Creator.

This is true even in the ???? ????.
Nevertheless, in the ???? ????, the ??????? can be ???? because, as a result of their family, background, etc., they did not have to work as hard to achieve what they did. The ??????? can be ????? because they had to overcome great obstacles to reach as far as they did.
