"The prize seemed to change my professional life very little"

- Philip Warren Anderson

About this Quote

This quote by Philip Warren Anderson talks to the idea that outside acknowledgment as well as awards do not always relate to a substantial modification in one's specialist life. Anderson implies that the reward he received did not have a major impact on his job. This might be analyzed in a couple of means. Probably Anderson was currently effective in his area as well as the prize was merely a recognition of his achievements. Conversely, the prize might have been insignificant in terms of its effect on his career. It might have been a token of recognition or a small accolade that did not result in any type of tangible advantages. Whatever the case, Anderson's quote suggests that external recognition is not always a reputable indicator of success. It is very important to remember that success is typically figured out by hard work as well as dedication, not by honors or recognition.
