Moral of Aesops Fable: Those who achieve notoriety often mistake it for fame.

People can learn from this by realizing what good attention is and what bad attention is.

They can apply it to their lives when they make choices. For example if you make a bad choice to be "cool" is when you need to realize it's the bad type of attention.

That is how you can apply the moral of this story to your everyday life.
