What is the meaning of [Follow glory and it will flee, flee glory and it will follow thee]

“It was queer. All over England young men were eating their hearts out for lack of jobs, and here was he, Gordon, to whom the very word ‘job’ was faintly nauseous, having jobs thrust unwanted upon him. It was an example of the fact that you can get anything in this world if you genuinely don’t want it.”,George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936)
