progress. >> Okay, friends. Welcome everyone. We're continuing Pirkei Avot perek gimmel mishnah yud bet. Rebbi Shimon omer Rebbi Shimon says have a kal l'rosh. Literally, you should be easy to a leader. V'noyach l'tashchiras. Be pleasant to a governor. V'have a mekabel es kol adam b'simcha. And you should receive everyone with joy. Says Rabbeinu Yonah, what does this mean? Rebbi Shimon omer have a kal l'rosh. Ratzah l'omar she'yikla atzmi l'mishu rosh. You should make yourself low, easy to someone who's a leader. V'adon, and a master. K'mashe ne'emar Al tit'hadar lifnei melech. Don't glorify yourself before a king. U'v'makom gadol al ta'amod. Don't stand in the place of great people. Shelo yakshive oiznecha adam gadol v'hakel atzmecha lifanav. Don't consider yourself important in front of great people. Lower yourself before them. La'asot chafatzav, to do their desires, u'l'hashlim tzrachav, and to fulfill their needs, v'al titzvada eilav. And don't make yourself important to them. It's derech eretz. When you're in the presence of great people, that is not the time to promote yourself, to elevate yourself. Humble yourself to do what they want. V'noyach l'tashchiras. Kol omer she'yehei noyach b'dvarav l'shachvar. Be pleasant in your words to a governor. Lo she'yeikel atzmecha lifanav. You don't have to lower yourself. You need to lower yourself to a very great person. But to a governor, you need to be pleasant. Ki einenu adon, he's not a master, v'lo ish is gaba a love.
