"If the proof is correct then no other recognition is needed." - Grigori Perelman https://m.primal.net/LjtK.png
I've just had to look him up as I was unfamiliar with him but intreagued by his picture. He turned down $1M for solving a maths problem😳🤯.
Perelman's stance was not born of arrogance, but of a profound understanding of the pursuit. His words stood as a reminder that, in the end, it is not the recognition that matters, but the work itself.
