Jesus called them together and said,
"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,  and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:25-28 NIV
Power
Recognition
Jesus gives his team a lesson in the way the world is. The boss rules.
But then he turns it all upside down...you want to be great? Then be a servant.
Don't worry about recognition. Let someone else take the credit in God's Kingdom.
And if you want an example  - I'm it.
Not only to serve, but to give everything.
When we live like that, the need for recognition starts to fade as we realise there's another set of values that are more important.
