One of the most effective advices I have come across in my life was by the French author Balzac: "travaille pour ta réputation et ta réputation travaillera pour toi" (Work for your reputation and your reputation will work for you).
Or as Socrates said:
"The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be." For example Secretary General U Thant wanted to be remembered as a "kind and good man who understood others". That is why he is remembered today as U Thant the Kind.

You want to climb the ladder of social values? But isn't the person who climbs the ladder more important than the ladder? Blessed be those who prefer the treasure of their person to the ladder and to any position on it.

Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar's first annual report to the Assembly warns of a trend toward world anarchy and urges rededication to Charter principles on the use of the UN as an instrument for peace and rational change.
A first World Conference on Climate is convened.
