" The young man nodded, "Yes, I have been dreaming of being a person as notable as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become famous. I don’t know when I can achieve my fame. " Addison told him, "Don’t worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!" "Why should I ?" the young man was puzzled.

People will remember you because of your idleness and laziness. They will often speak of your name while they give warnings to their children. Aren’t you a notorious(声名狼藉的)person by then?"
