A new student came to Yeshiva and at שחרית saw the other boys davening with great fervor and saying out loud: “השם, I know I’m a nothing, but please listen to my tefillos and have mercy on me.” Trying to fit in, the new boy also said “I know I’m a nothing, but השם please listen to my tefillos.” Immediately, one of the boys said to another: “Who does he think he is? He just came to the Yeshiva and already he thinks he’s a nothing.”
