What is ทำดีได้อย่าเด่นจะเป็นภัย in Thai?

I find the structure of this sentence a bit odd.

If I break it down:

```
ทำ ดี ได้
```

This means "Doing good order" (the action of doing good in some context)

```
อย่า เด่น
```

I don't know what it means (don't notable? --- Unnotably?)

```
จะ เป็น ภัย
```

Will be a disaster

**What is the meaning of this common Thai phrase and what would be the closest structure in English?**
