When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.
Rabbi Abraham Herchel
When working for the shul, you should always do your best and try your hardest to do a successful job while always remembering that there will be those that destructively criticize you and stand in your way. There will be constructive criticism and hopefully it will be kindly delivered and will out number the amount of adverse criticism. The value of your shul work should be self gratification, not the expectation of accolades of others..
