“Recognition is the greatest motivator.”

“The second thing we are wanting in is the recognition of the principle of fraternity. What does fraternity mean? Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians, all Indians being one people. It is a principle that gives solidarity to social life. It is difficult thing to achieve. It seems to me that there lies a heavy duty to see that democracy does not vanish from the earth as a governing principle of human relationship. If we believe in it, we must both be true and loyal to it. We must not only be staunch in our faith in democracy but we must resolve to see that whatever we do, we do not help the enemies of democracy to uproot the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. It follows that we must strive along with other democratic countries to maintain the basis of democratic civilization. If democracy lives we are sure to reap the benefit of it. If democracy dies it will be our doom. On that there can be no doubt.”
B. R. Ambedkar
“Knowledge is recognition of something absent; it is a salutation, not an embrace.”

Terrell Owens
“The recognition and understanding of the need was the primary condition of the creative act.

Only when you get into the problem and the problem becomes clear, can creativity take over.”
Charles Eames
“I've never been in this business for the recognition or the awards. I just want to do good work, grab a decent paycheck, and move onto the next job.”
William Petersen
