This exchange is a famous dialogue from one of my favourite movie Finding Forrester.
In the movie, Jamal is a talented young writer who seeks mentorship from the reclusive Pulitzer Prize-winning author, William Forrester.
Some prizes are not about cash or assets, but about recognition and acknowledgement.
