About this Quote

This quote by George C. Scott talks to the duality of acknowledgment and the emotions it can bring. On one hand, recognition can be a source of inspiration and pride, as it can be a sign of success and achievement. On the other hand, it can also bring feelings of insecurity and insecurity. When we get recognition, we might feel a sense of pleasure and complete satisfaction, however this can rapidly be replaced by feelings of regret and pity. We might feel that we are undeserving of the acknowledgment, or that we are making the most of it. This quote speaks with the internal struggle we can experience when we receive acknowledgment, and how it can be both a source of happiness and a source of self-doubt.
