Fame in Buddhism

**What is craving for fame in Buddhism?** I am aware that fame pertains to the eight worldly concerns and is detrimental. However I wonder: what *is* fame-seeking in Buddhism? I ask this because when I was younger I would fantasize greatly about fame, especially in link to a great theoretical realization. I still feel that way sometimes. I perceive fame in this case as attachment to a view mixed with self-valuing, but I mostly wonder if one should abandon this and how? How can one acquire equanimity towards this aspiration?
