In real life conditions there are various grades of achievements as circumstances, opportunities and ones capability may determine. All in all, Allah will have the final say as accorded to each living being.
Everyone has own weaknesses. When Ahmad Sari was DO of Rembau he could afford to flash his $2000 wrist watch! - that according to my history teacher. The point is ones get wiser with time and not stupid as the case with the KSN.
Many people work deligently and intelligently, hopefully. Public recognition and awards may not matter as long as one gets the job done. Self glorification is something of an anathema especially if one is highly paid.
It is of course difficult and subjective to compare personalities. One has to know them closely in terms of real contributions and other aspects of their lives. In most cases we come to know them through the media and publications. There is a blip about Hashim Sam, the author of "The Real Commoner: The Life and Times of Imam Perang Jabor 1858-1921" published by the National Library, 2002.
