Why is man's reputation called 'Bubble' in the poem The Seven Ages?

In Jaques's speech from Shakespeare's play As You Like It (it's not a poem, but a part of a play), he describes a soldier as "seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth." The use of the word "bubble" is what is called a metaphor. This is when something is compared to something else that is mostly different but the same in some ways. Bubbles get big very quickly but then pop and instantly disappear. The soldier's reputation is like that--he can become famous really quickly and then, in an instant, nobody can remember who he was or why he was famous.
Sports heroes and pop stars have bubble reputations too.
