It's cool to be recognised by your peers.

The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me.

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.

In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, just because of the way people are built and how interconnected we are, greatness will translate and symmetry will be recognised.

It is very nice for someone like me to be recognised by one's peers. This award is however not related to my area of specialty; it is for my work relating science to humanity.

As long as your intentions are solid and about growth and progression and being productive and not being idle, then you're doing good in my book.
